If Phoenix beats the Pacers and Sixers this week, they'll be 15-0 against the eastern conference and the only team in NBA history to sweep its interconference schedule.

unreal finsish in the bullets warriors game

tie game...caron butler was called for a foul with 2.9 seconds...harrington makes both free throws...warriors up by 2

the bullets inbound the ball to arenas with 2.9 he drives the lane and draws a foul with .001....donnie nelson goes NUTS and gets a technical

arenas to the line for three free throws...hits them all bullets win....

[MDS]

unreal is probably too strong of an adjective, but it is interesting to see a coach farg up and lose the game

[ice grillin you]

unreal = something thats probably never happend before in basketball....at least not at the nba or college level

[MDS]

I'm sure, at some point in the history of college or pro hoops, a last second foul + T on the coach won the gamr for the other team.

[ice grillin you]

down three with two seconds left and a basket plus technical gives a team three points for the win with no time left

never happened

Thomas shows 'evident progress'; earns new deal
Associated Press

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Isiah Thomas got a multiyear contract extension Monday, nine months after he was warned the Knicks needed to show "evident progress" or he'd be out of a job.

With the Knicks in the hunt for a playoff spot, Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan went back on his vow to wait until after the season to make his decision, saying that Thomas would return as coach and team president.

Thomas added the coaching duties to his other role in June after Dolan fired Larry Brown following one season. But along with the job came the ultimatum, though Dolan never publicly said what the Knicks needed to do this season to show that progress.

But with New York (29-34) already six wins better than last season and currently eighth in the Eastern Conference, Dolan said the improvement under Thomas "needs to be recognized now and not wait."

"I believe we have clearly seen significant and evident progress," Dolan said.

Dolan's announcement comes well ahead of schedule. When he met with the team's beat writers in December, he stressed that he wouldn't make a decision until after the season. However, the Knicks were 8-15 at the time and coming off a dismal home loss to Boston a night earlier in which they trailed by 30 points.

Things quickly got worse for Thomas, as the Knicks lost twice more that week -- the second coming in the brawl with Denver that embarrassed the organization -- to fall to a season-worst eight games under .500.

Dolan has since been impressed by a turnaround that has the Knicks on pace to make the playoffs after a two-year absence. They entered Monday with a half-game lead over Orlando for the final spot in the East.

More than the record, Dolan praised Thomas for getting the team to play together and for the improvement in the Knicks' young players. Second-year forward David Lee has become one of the NBA's best sixth men, and Eddy Curry has turned into one of the top centers in the East.

"I think every player has done well under Isiah," Dolan said. "I think we have a great future."

Good. New York sucks and they deserve this.

Boston got fined $30K because Danny Ainge was sitting next to Kevin Durant's mom during the Big XII tournament.  He claimed it was a total coincidence that their seats were together....
