My favorite play of the playoffs just happened in Game 7 of the Boston-Cleveland series.
Mid-2nd quarter. Sczerbiak gets stripped at halfcourt (not surprising). He turns to chase the ball, with Eddie House of the Celtics suddenly taking off after it. Keep in mind the basketball halfcourt is 47 feet long. Sczaxzerbiak had roughly a 4-foot head start. House beat him to the ball BEFORE it reached the other free throw line. Once Wally realized House was going to beat him to the ball, he attempted to foul House. However, Eddie passed a ball to a trailing James Posey and then Scazerczbiak went ahead and fouled him. It made me laugh out loud to see Sczazerbaik attempt to chase the ball while making the basketball court seem roughly 275 feet long, then get beat to the ball, then foul 2 different dudes out of complete frustration.
And one other thing--I NEVER want to hear anyone talk about how many jump balls and bad plays there are in the women's game after this series. I can't believe how many dumb ballhandling decisions have led to players "hustling" and diving on the ball/another dude.
