The Dallas Mavericks beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 110-108 on Monday night in a game with big playoff-seeding implications, and the end of the game was ...
After Beverley went to the line for two free throws, the first of which he missed, he had to miss the second on purpose. One way or another, the offensive team is going to get its shot to tie the game, and the fans are going to get what they paid for, which, with the astronomical prices they're paying these days to watch games in which the best players regularly sit out anyway, should be the priority whenever possible. But for now we're just dealing with the utterly absurd scenario that calls for teams that are winning games to foul. There's no perfect answer for any of this, but the questions we need to be asking are becoming more and more glaring. Foul in an obviously intentional manner, it's three free throws whether it's on the shot or not. The game was back and forth down the stretch and had all the makings of a thrilling conclusion. Fine. Any foul, whether on the floor or the shot, that occurs outside the 3-point arc and inside the final 24 seconds of game time results in three free throws. While we're at it, for the love of god, please get rid of these take fouls that halt fast breaks. The NBA believes intentional fouls, intentional misses, parades of free throws and long replays are what the people pay to see instead of potential game-tying/winning shots. The Dallas Mavericks beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 110-108 on Monday night in a game with big playoff-seeding implications, and the end of the game was awful. He managed to graze the rim in a perfect enough fashion to get his own rebound, at which point he was ... fouled. Unfortunately, that intentional foul on Beverley was only the beginning of a circus sequence only made necessary by this ridiculous rule, or lack thereof, however you want to look at it.
