Heat vs Pacers ECF

[Black Adam]

I realize that I am about to seriously enrage the Heat faithful but....

Fuck Dwayne Wade. Fuck that dirty cheap-shotting punk ass bitch!

I rarely condone this but someone needs to take their last string bench warmer and send them in to do one thing: take this punk out. Permanently.

Because the NBA damn sure won't do anything about him.

And it's not like this is the first time he's pulled some cheap-shot bullshit either.

i have NO idea what this clown's problem's been lately. used to be a VERY respectable player...

yep, all that happened LAST SEASON. guess we'll know soon enough if there's an instant replay in store...

When you have a great team you don't worry in a 1-1 series with 5 possible games remaining. I know you would love to see Heat fans all worried but it is not going to happen. I can bet you Spurs fans were not worried in the 2nd round after going to GSW in a tied series even though GSW were clearly the better team through 2 games.

Yep somehow that play was intentional lol but no comments on the intentional elbow by David West to chalmers in the backcourt.

No surprised that you guys only noticed the play by the Heat player which was unintentional but don't say a word about the intentional elbow which should've been David West 4th foul.

uh huh...

all i'll say is if the Heat lose today the posts will tell the story...

here's kinda the problem that i have with this statement, though, punchline. is it really the Heat shooting so bad, or is it the direct result of the Pacers playing super "D"? because IF it's a case of the latter you guys got a problem...

Some of it is good defense and some of it is the Heat just missing open shots. Battier & Allen had several open looks in game 1. Allen had his share of open looks in G2 and Chalmers had a WIDE OPEN look with the game tied at 91 to give the Heat a 3 point lead. The Heat shooters will get it going. We have to many shooters for all of them to be cold for an entire series

This series will be full of cheap shots. Man up and accept it! Except for PG and LBJ of course. <---you might see them in the locker room later on tonight

Speaking of D-wade, should he be suspended? Personally, I can't really tell if he did it purposefully or if he was just trying to get around him. I think they'll just fine him and call it a day as I think there's no way that they'd suspend a superstar in a crucial game.

The haters will be celebrating while the heat fans ( at least the ones that came with me from CBS) will be cool as the other side of the pillow.

Being down 3-2 heading to Boston is a tougher situation than being down 2-1 on the road for game 4. I know its hard for you to believe it because you're a known hater but the experience of being even or down in a series and coming up with big road playoffs wins in their 3 years together will help these guys. This is not some inexperienced team who never been down or even in a series needing a big road win.

i'll give Shane his ups on this one. it IS playoff basketball. there'd be something wrong if players DIDN'T get a bit dicey at this point...

I think he was just trying to get around him. Nothing on that play looked intentional. Either they fine him or they'll upgrade his play and the cheap shot elbow West gave Chalmers to a flagrant 1.

If Mohammad didn't get suspended for his intentional shove to LBJ, why in the world would Wade be suspended for his unintentional play to Lance?

 

[RobToxin]

Unintentional....of course....

Enjoy these unintentional acts by Dwayne Wade.

As for the former-yeah I agree that they'll just upgrade or fine both
As for the latter- touché

 

[bksballer89]

If the league did not even suspend Mohammad for what he did to LBJ, how in the world can they justify suspending Wade? Seriously. If Wade get suspended then so should David West. As I said before both will get fined or both plays would be upgraded to a flagrant 1.

 

[bksballer89]

And as I expected the league upgraded that play to a flagrant 1

I don't get it in another thread posters are saying they love when players hate each other on opposite teams and the animosity. And in this thread they are complaining about a cheap shot when both teams have done it. Looks like we have a bunch of bi-polar posters. You either like it or ya don't!

I know funny as hell. I'm in the middle. If you want to play a competative but friendly series then I'm fine with it. If you want to mix MMA with basketball, have at it as long as everyone's legs and arms are functional afterwards.

well, just to clarify on my end i understand the game gets rougher as the playoffs go on. but i've NEVER been down for cheap shots or dirty plays. and one doesn't necessarily have to involve the other. that's all I'M saying...

But others have mixed emotions, I guess

But yet no comment on the West cheap shot? I think we would all appreciate it if you're just honest and just say I've never been down for cheap shots or dirty plays unless it is against a Heat player.

These guys are bigger than most average guys. Plus they are flying around at high speed and aggressively trying to get the upper hand. There are going to be some fouls that look more vicious than what the original intention was. You have to remember that most of them have the same nightmare of being injured permanently and unable to play again. They know how to take and give shots that may hurt but are not career ending.
