In my defense, I was not wanting to go, but was dragged to it by the people I was with. But that is no excuse for my horrific actions. I apologize to basketball fans everywhere...
Didn't Stephenson take an elbow in the playoff last year too by the Heat? Props to him for not retaliating at Wade and get ejected.
missed the game. i'm happy everyone has caught on to how ****ing dirty Dwyane Wade is. Dirtiest star in the NBA BY FAR.
also lebron's pass to end the first half is one of the greatest passes I've ever seen. that was insane. holy **** he is the epitome of greatness. too bad he doesn't have enough help hehe
because as both miller and kerr said, it wasn't. wade has certainly thrown his share (and some other people's share) of cheap shots in the last few years, but this didn't look like one. george had the ball on a semi-fastbreak (in the background of the gif), and wade was running to catch up. i'm not exactly sure what stephenson was doing but he pretty much stopped in front of wade (he's just turning to the side and not moving down the court like everyone else in the shot) and wade tried to jump around him in the short time he had to react. you can even see as his elbow hits stephenson that he starts bringing it back. based on wade's usual MO when he's trying to send a message, he would have followed through, not pulled his arm back.
"I don't think there was anything malicious..." "I think it was inadvertent..." Wow. Sad that Steve Kerr and Reggie Miller said that b.s. Lost respect for both of them.
Well, I actually am no fan of Wade, and I'll give them the point that it didn't seem malicious. It was a foul though.
I didn't watch the game so I can't say anything, what I did find funny watching the highlights on NBA.com was the fact that they took the time out to show every pacer's "Dirty" play like an elbow sticking a bit too much or w.e but they never showed that. **** nba.com and their ****ty highlights.
Would be nice to see Hill going home! Clutch FTs. Same situation game 1, Allen chokes, Pacers come back. Hill sealed the deal right there. He is too dammed old. Been declining for about three years. His legs just aren't there anymore. He depends on them when shooting. He still thinks he's some hot shot, totally washed up. How about Lewis? Didn't he play pretty well in April? And Mike Miller? Where is he now? He did pretty well last year. This bunch of shooters not being effective is killing the Heat right now.
For all the small ball that coaches love to play, Hibbert is showing the quality play that you get when you have a dominant center. You can cover MIA's shooters because you always know Hibbert will protect the basket. You can rely on strong offensive rebounding if you're not shooting well. wow, just wow what a magnificent duel
I've made it no secret that I root for the Heat as well as the Rockets (from south FL, UF alumni, lots of mutual friends with CP). I've made sure never to be even close to as obnoxious and disrespectful as 'what' and 'pacertom' and 'TheRapedOne1978' and 'ooox'. But seeing all this blind hatred in this thread, you can bet I'm about to show clutchfans I'm on both of their levels. CAN'T WAIT. Who wants to bet on this series? Let's go.
