That Sterling's an idiot, or that racist old white men still exist in the world?Nik the Trik said:

What would you have them do? Is this not all they can do?

There isn't an easy answer and there doesn't have to be one. Saying that this doesn't address the underlying issue isn't so much a criticism of the NBA's decision here as it is a comment on the situation in general. There is a fair criticism for the NBA here but it's about the when and not so much the what.
If the BoG is successful at forcing Sterling to sell the team, that will be the more significant step.

I think a lot of people are realizing that now! I said on the last day of the season playing Brooklyn or Washington is probably a wash. The best case scenario that day would have been Charlotte winning, Brooklyn winning, and Washington losing. We would have played the Bobcats.
The Wizards look legit and I won't be surprised to see them in the Conference Finals. Indiana should be better then them, but they have a some serious locker room issues. Atlanta has played well, but if they do finish off Indiana they are the definite underdogs against Washington.
Brooklyn chose wrong to want to face Toronto and then Miami! Chicago then Indiana/Atlanta would have been easier for them then the Raps and then Miami!

All tied up with 3:16 to go.

That was a crazy defensive play on the last shot of the game.

When asked to describe the emotions of a fourth quarter that saw the Nets score 44 points, Casey answered: "You wouldn't want to hear it."
---------
The capacity ACC crowd of 20,393 that included Drake and rapper 50 Cent -- who dipped his head when the camera was on him to show fans his "Northern Uprising" hat -- was loud all game long, from the moment the fans sang along to O Canada to the final buzzer.
The arena was a sea of white, as fans wore their white "We The North" T-shirts. They mocked the Nets by chanting "Broo-klyn!" the traditional chant at the Barclays Center.
The Nets even took note, posting on the team's official Twitter account: ".Nets fans take note- this is what a playoff crowd sounds like..set your DVD and take notes .RAPTORSvNETS."

I know it's consistently called, but why is it a shooting foul when a player is knocked on a 3 well after releasing the ball? Maybe I've always thought incorrectly that a foul is called because it is contact in the course of shooting and could affect the shot. If it's already been released, why do you get a foul shot?

In general, if you make a bit of contact after the ball has been released it won't be called. However, if you basically run the guy over after the ball has been released (see Amir's 6th foul last night) its going to get called every time.

I know, but what I'm wondering is why? What's the rationale behind that?
