Is this a dirty tactic by the Bulls? Boozer makes himself bleed to get a timeout after the Bulls have used all their timeouts up.

I understand the slant you're trying to give to this, but fabricated "arguments" are not going to get it done.

I'm not fabricating anything.

But I'll change the terminology of what Pierce gets away with from flagrant to patently obvious.

Pierce got called for an offensive fall exactly once all of last season using the exact same move.  Every other time he "drew" the foul..By the rulebook what Pierce does is an offensive foul.  He's initiating the contact every time when his opponent goes straight up and down on the upfake.  When he got that one offensive foul call, he was about 6 feet behind the 3 point line and looking for an end of the quarter bailout call.

Name me one other NBA player that gets that call at all...Let alone on a consistent basis, kozlodev.  

Pierce getting that bogus call with the consistency that he does benefits us a helluva lot more than the bogus non-call that the Bulls benefited by one time.

No big deal...I think Boozer already menstruates.

  You're certainly fabricating when you claim Pierce is the only player in the nba who initiates contact after an upfake and draws a foul on the defender in the process. Kobe gets that call all the time. So does Melo, so does Durant. It's about as rare to see as a traveling call.

They've actually been a lot better with the non call when the offensive player moves under the defender.

Other than this thread, I can't find any mention anywhere online of this happening.  Do we have any proof that this happened?

Okay so nobody has been able to present evidence Boozer cut himself, so we don't know if it was a legitimate accident during play or not.  /THREAD

I didn't see it, but I remember Jeff Van Gundy pointing it out and criticizing it.

I thought JVG mentioned it as a relatively clear joke.

Did Van Gundy say that Boozer cut himself on purpose??  or did he just point out that Chicago got a free time out bc Boozer was bleeding and that the rule needs to be changed somehow??  because thats all I remember hearing

I recall JVG saying that Boozer had cut himself on purpose because he was praising it as a smart strategy.  I also remember thinking that he could be joking, but I wasn't sure if he was, and none of his colleagues were treating him like he was being silly.

Either Van Gundy is pretty much banished from the NBA or has no intention or getting back into coaching....Otherwise he wouldn't be praising something like that as smart strategy...

How can you guys not love that somebody was so willing to win, they'd cut themself, particularly in a game that was pretty much over? When KG is intense, it's beloved, when an opponent is, it's scorned.

Having said that, I do think this loophole should be closed for the health/safety issues.

I watched the game in its entirety but didn't notice Boozer's blood timeout. Anyone have a link to a clip?
