A better basketball site.

Having coached high school basketball for the last two seasons, I have gained a true appreciation for the quality of officiating by NBA referees.
Until this week.
This was a bad week for the league and its referees, as the NBA admitted there were blown calls that changed the outcome of two games.
Although every day is a brand new ‘season’ for daily fantasy basketball leagues, I tend to think in weeks. Mondays begin with a $100 bankroll, which is spent roughly $15 at a time, making sure it lasts through Sunday. Any profits early in the week get reinvested.
The 15-point final margin suggests Miami won fairly easily, but this was a 3-point game until the final four minutes. The Canadian patrons relentlessly booed Chris Bosh (28 PTS, 5 REB, 1 BLK) — more knowledgeable fans would direct their wrath at GM Bryan Colangelo, who managed to get nothing at all for the perennial All-Star.
While acquiring Rudy Gay was a highly debated topic for many front offices around the league, his rejuvenated game has been paying immediate dividends for the Toronto Raptors.
Indeed it is, Kendall Marshall. The rookie point guard of the Suns is probably realizing that Gay’s “kick game” and playmaking abilities would have been a fine fit in Phoenix, which was rumored to be in the market for Gay.
If you’re reading this after 1:00 Eastern time, you’re too late for Sunday leagues. There are only three games in the NBA today, and they are all matinees.
