    Lock if this was discussed anywhere else, but following the buzzer, Rafer hugged TMac and they exchanged words, and TMac really just looked relieved and nodded his head as Rafer thumped TMac's chest with his fist. I wonder what Rafer said. Maybe something like, "That's one. One more and we go home tied."

    Does anyone know, or have any guesses? Just curious :)

    i thought after mcgrady missed that layup on the break in the 4th and didn't get back on defense, rafer took it to him in the timeout. my guess would be what rafer was saying after the game was over had something to do with that one.

    my heartbeat was like at 200 per minute after i saw scola actually made the 2nd ft. i was feeling something bad was gonna happen. if making ft's ishard enough, missing them looks even harder...

    yao's "skill" of an intentional miss rocks. still remember the lakers game. had rafer actually made that 3...

    Yea T-mac had this look on his face like WTF & said "What are you doing?!?!"

    RA told him to just clam down its not a big deal.

    RA is a damn good coach thats for sure.

    if i was scola i wouldve said "WHAT WERE YOU DOING"
    tracy almost cost us the game in the last minute, with his offensive foul and the jacking up of a long two with less than a minute to go.

    He also went 2-4 from the field, 3-4 from the line, had 2 rebounds and a block in the final 3min.

    He went absolutely berserk, and justifiably so, when Scola actually made the 2nd FT.

    feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but that offensive foul was a flop... AK was pulling on his jersey and his arms and then flopped like a little b*tch... it shouldn't have happened, but AK is a dirty player.

    And the "jacking" of that long two was a set play out of the timeout to get Tracy a shot at the end of the shot clock.. there was only like 4 seconds on the shot clock when he shot that and then SCOLA, was the one who almost cost us the game by rotating away from Okur...

    Yeah, it was about the free throw. I actually think Scola tried to miss, but messed up. I saw him grimace after the shot went in.

    Yeah Tracy was pissed off about it... I could see him mouthing off at Mutombo about it. Something in the realm of "god *****ing d*mnnit just miss the mother *****ing free throw, *****" IIRC :p

    No that long jumpshot Tracy took where he airballed was a horrible shot, he just choked on it and it almost cost us the game just like Scola not rotating. Tracy gets no excuses. It is either clutch or choke!

    Has anyone noticed that landry gave alston a dirty look after he reached out and kissed him on the face?

    I thought Landry was gonna give alston a punch in his face for doing that gay stuff.

    Yeah scola wasn't too bright on the last one. He should just hit the rim and miss it. It was a very very close one. Thw hole rocklets team was like WTF are you doing Scola! coach AD was almost gonna kill him with his stares.

    That face was made before Rafer kissed him.

    Landry was just fired up.

    When Scola went to shoot I thought:

    "Just shoot it normal. Don't try to miss, let it come naturally."
