Why he dunked....instead of taking a 3 pointer!

The Nuggets had the ball, a timeout and a 102-99 lead with 4.9 seconds left. Martell Webster stole the ensuing inbounds pass and -- to the astonishment of Wolves fans -- he went down the floor for a slam dunk that left the Wolves one point shy with 1.3 seconds left.

"We talked about we needed a three," Adelman said. "I think he caught the ball, stole it and maybe emotions got the best of him."

When questioned about his choice after the game, Martell just said: "I dunked the ball....that's what I do best.....I dunk the basketball!"

He said he was planning on getting fouled and get the and 1 to tie it. Not a bad strategy IMO and one I never really thought of doing

...."planned on getting fouled?" I guess he thought the opposition was just as dumb as he was! Don't you think they knew the Wolves needed 3 points not 2 to tie the game? I suspect your basketball IQ ranks right up there with most of the jailhouse tat dummies that have infiltrated today's NBA!

I agree that counting on being fouled is not smart. The other team would be going out of their way not to foul, and ref's (generally) would shy away from calling a foul unless it's pretty blatant.
I do not agree with the name calling from carolinajazz, it's something a hopper NBA player would do if they were on Jazzfanz.

....do you really think the NBA dummies who make those brainless plays really think they did something wrong??? Generally, they justify everything they do....or blame it on the shoes!!!

Except when he plays the jazz and goes off from 3.

Are you justifying your name calling? Was it your shoes?

My point is that I'm not cool with the name calling in your post.
I didn't say a single thing about how smart or dumb KillaCam or NBA players are.

....I merely called today's NBA players "jailhouse tat dummies." I never call killa Cam a name, did I???

I think Martell is a solid player and is the kind of scorer/shooter the jazz need right now. If you watch the video, a defender was there trying to keep him from getting to the rim, its not far out there to think a foul is a possibility.

See your response after you quoted KillaCam.

Note the bolded, italicized, underlined part.
Thanks

My interpretation is that you are saying KillaCam is dumb.....etc.
Would you care to backpedal, or just accept that you did what you did?

I don't even know why it's a big deal. Instead of trying to deny what you did... try just not caring that I don't agree with it.

...I didn't know calling a person a "dummy" was name calling! Isn't "dummy" an adjective and not a noun???

I might be a rookie on this forum, but when it comes to basketball knowledge, I have a great deal of it. Ive played at the college level and I suspect many on this board are just fans...
