Did anybody see the ridiculous moving screen that led to Ray Allen\'s three to tie the game at the end of regulation?

That play is both the reason why I\'m glad the Celtics lost and why I don\'t like the NBA.

(Still, Jesus Shuttlesworth has to hit the shot. And, of course, he does.)

So should that have been a flagrant foul on Rondo? I do personally, but I also think that would have been a ballsy call by the officials. If I\'m a referee, I just call a regular foul and hope that Brad Miller hits them both to render the point moot.

Also, did it ever occur to the Bulls to double-team Paul Pierce, especially with  Ray-Ray on the bench? At least make Glen Davis (or even Rondo) take the potential game-winner instead of the reigning NBA Finals MVP.

Is Rondo up for a new contract in the next year or so?  If so, any guess how much he\'ll stand to reap per year?

What a heartbreaking loss for the Celts.   3 OTS!  Ray Allen with 51 points (a record 9 three pointers)!!    game 7 saturday in boston.   my prediction: celtics will win, but it won\'t be pretty.

They\'ll take game 7, but I doubt they\'ll get much further than that.

Excuse the noobosity- What is the ruling when defining what is 3 points and what is 2? Is it 2 points if any of the foot at all is over the line, or does just most of it have to be behind/on it for it to be 3 points?

There were two questionable shots that ended up being called 2 pointers. I thought that the first one looked like 3, but the second one definitely two. But really I have no idea and would appreciate some clarification. :)

I thought the first one was a 3 as well... if they counted it we would have gone to 4 OTs.
