no it doesnt?!? if you wouldve read what i said, you would know i was talking about 'this particular play'.
youre just blindly following your belief (and love of delly maybe?), and in the mean time there have been quite a few solid arguments that counter your view.
one of the best parts for followers of any sport is the debate between fellow fans. why not embrace that, by giving responses to points that oppose yours?
reading our replies will also prevent you from putting words into our mouths...
no one has to be right or wrong. the fun is in the discussion.
Before the conf finals I hated the Cavs and never watched much of Delly, no more than any other player in the league. So no, you're not talking to some Delly crazed fan here. So no, I'm not "blindly" following my belief. I've watched the play loads of times. He could have done it on purpose, but the people that are saying he did, are backing out of the other "dirty" plays. If he's as nasty as that, then I can't see how you don't believe the other plays are dirty as well.
It's a real 50/50 call on Delly. Most are saying he's a dirty player. I'm saying he's not, across the board. But we'll see what happens next series.

fair enough, but i dont believe hes automatically dirty because of this play. for me theres a difference between dirty and annoying. and thats what he was trying to do there. niggle at the opposition to get a reaction. its not like hes throwing elbows or something...
personally, i dont think he did anything wrong in the horford play. just used his body/weight/momentum in a normal way. plus he was off balance and falling anyway. at worst its just another little niggle to get a rise out of his man...
i think he could be very annoying to play against, but that doesnt make him 'dirty'.
you cant deny he has a knack for getting players ejected. i doubt its just coincidence or being unlucky.

IMO;
The 'leg-hold' on Gibson, Delly totally knew what he was doing, baited Taj so well he took it and was ejected.. that's a smart play.. its sly.. but very very smart.. worked a treat.
(watched this 5 times)
The dive for the ball against Korver.. was completely innocent. in no way was it a malicious attempt to injure Korver, just bad luck his leg ended up underneath Delly as he was trying to protect the ball.
(watched about 10 times)
The fall with Horford... Horford the twat has Delly by the arm on the box out, drags Delly sideways, trips over Carroll and falls on the floor. Delly does NOT ever attempt to hold onto Horford in that play.. just look at his left arm.
How the feck people see anything different than that ^^ is something they're making up in their minds.. without considering the physics of what is happening to Delly.

Lets just pray he avoids this type of controversy in the Finals
