    Not really. He went for the ball, Wade pulled it back, so he whiffed and hit him in the head. Silly excuse to go and whack somebody in the face or elbow them in the throat without even a moments thought given toward playing basketball. The Heat may be a better team, but chicks**t plays like that sure aren't going to convince anybody of it.

    It's because of the actions committed by Wade and James. That "Decision" still lingers, in people's minds, along with Wade's on-court personality.

    Also, the duo making fun of Dirk having a cold or whatever it was last year, just added more gas to the fire.

    No one has a problem with the basketball that James and Wade play. James is deserving of his MVP. Wade is deserving of being called a superstar.

    But it's the other stuff the duo do, that sets people off. If the two acted like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook (quiet, more humble), then people wouldn't be so quick to judge the players.

    And then you say unprovoked stuff like this, and you wonder why people don't like you on this forum?

    Come on, man.

    Pittman is making about 800k this is going to cost him. I'm sure LeBron will pay him off not sure how the league can stop that...

    If people think the Pacers' fouls were flagrants, I look forward to seeing what the Pacers are capable of if they start fouling with malicious intent like the Heat are.

    So, you're telling me that the Hansboro flagrant was an accident? Be honest man.

    you come on, man? Pacers acted like B***** and then got treated like B*****, I admit Pitman is an A-Hole and should be expelled from the NBA along with Artest though.

    Shoulda controlled the time on the poll. Before game 1 the voting was 85%-15% in favor of the Heat. The votes for the Pacers came aftere the blowout win in game 3, by people who hadn't voted yet

    I understand all that, completely. And I personally do not like Wade at all. I think he's a punk. But even if you hate them, why do you let it cloud your basketball IQ? Can't you hate them and still say they are the favorites to win it all instead of acting like they don't have a chance against boston, indiana, chicago, okc, sas, etc????

    Look at the end. He made a claw and raked wade across the face maliciously.

    It seems like the Pacer players are making a lot of excuses right now. IMO Hansboro started the dirty stuff.

    Dude there's no way in hell you can compare Hansborough's play with Haslem's.

    Hansborough tried to go for the ball but went with too much contact.

    Haslem went for Hansborough's head.

    But they're not the favorites. If every team was healthy and had all their players ready to play, I'd honestly take the field over the Heat.

    But instead of taking it as though people are saying a team in the field is simply better than Miami, you seem to think people are saying that "Miami's big 3 sucks the big one! They can't get it done! THEY SUCK roflmao!!!"

    It's not to say Miami isn't good. I just think that whoever comes out of the WC will beat whoever comes out of the EC. And I bet you, so does the majority of people here, regardless of which team comes out from either side.

    Pittman is such an idiot.

    If you have a beef with Stephenson, don't do it on the court like a thug. Talk about how he gets no playing time or something. Or, better yet, don't say anything at all?

    smh Miami. This isn't the way anyone is supposed to act.
