Official 2011-2012 Playoff thread

I must say, if I was a Heat or a Lebron fan, I would love the team up and winning and their chance at a title, from an objective standpoint, that moment when it is a blowout, playoff game is in the bag and they (Wade and Lebron) go to the bench when the game is locked up is amazing. The full court Wade bullet pass to Lebron for a squeak in dunk is amazing. Good for them. I can appreciate that.
Alas, I am an neither. So screw them.
 
F##. I don't get it. When Blake gets smashed with hard fouls, the rest of the Clippers team gets crucified by the media for not standing up and sending a message to the opposing team. They say, "when your teammate gets hurt, you make sure the opponents know you got his back the next play". But when this happens, they blast Pittman and Haslem??? Come on, Tyler had it coming for him as does Danny Granger and Stephenson is a punk. No suspensions are warranted, take it as message sent and slap them on the wrist with a fine and flagrant 2.

Ha ha really? Granger talked a bit of smack and has done nothing close of getting a suspension.

Stephenson the same thing.

Tyler got alot of ball first on his flagrant and then hit Wade's head (who clearly was'nt hurt but just stayed down to milk it).

Pittman and Haslem was blatant and dumb.They WERE NOT BASKETBALL PLAYS!!!

Wake up dude.
 
Indiana's stance is that they aren't afraid of Miami and are making it into a physical series. Miami is just responding in kind. Pittman's foul was stupid, yes. Notice has been served to Stephenson and the rest of Indiana : this is a Miami team that ain't going to back down. But when Haslem smashed Tyler, I was cheering. Now he knows what it's like to be on the receiving end and it was absolutely retaliation for the foul on Wade. It's loud and clear: you eff up my team mate, we gonna eff you up, so don't dish it out if you can't receive it.

The message that I interpreted was : We have bench scrubs to sacrifice. A la CHESS
 
If you let the players act and react then the boudaries are just going to keep moving further and further away!

It is a non contact sport!! Use NFL if you want to be able to physically retaliate!

Even so, these are blatant cheap shots.

Also, bringing a physical game doesn't mean they plan to go for cheap fouls! It just means they will play physically!
 
The Hansbrough Foul on Wade was there but Wade didn't need to stay down for another like 5 seconds

The Haslem foul on Hansbrough foul was absolutely Idiotic! lol

The Pittman foul Stephenson wasn't needed at all.....
 
Indy have been trying to intimidate the Heat all series, they got touched up now everyones calling foul. The Pittman shot was cheap i'll give you that but I applaud the Haslem check on hands-bro. About time there was a little bit of passion let back in the game.
