NBA Breaks Out ‘Fake Timeout’

I enjoy the understated nature of a heads-up play, such as Portland Trailblazers guard Andre Miller essentially faking a timeout to get an easy layup against the New Orleans Hornets en route to a 103-96 win last night at the Rose Garden. But then, with the Hornets now having lost three straight, they’re giving up quite a few easy layups of late.

Somebody wrote earlier this week that the NBA was less popular now than in years past because of The Whole Race Thing. I disagree: look at all of the fake timeouts in the NFL. If the NBA follows Miller’s example, they’ll be back in the national forefront in no time.

Via That NBA Lottery Pick.
