Pacers Heat

Stop being a weiner. We can disagree. You don't know what you are talking about and you've proven it 10,000 times.
No need to insult me just because we disagree.
 
it was close , anybody's game , until just before the sequence in the OP.

I said I suspect it was a dirty play by LeBron, I am not sure, but what he did is the best way to injure someone without repercussions.

The most foolish thing said here is your assertion that the Indiana player may have been trying to land on LeBron's foot.

Not really, it's a common technique done to draw fouls on 3pt shots. Go watch Jamall Crawford, players purposely extend their legs to land a slight bit further ahead than they usually do so they draw contact. Granger failed and just landed on his foot.
 
The play where Granger got hurt didn't seem like a dirty play to me. I don't think LeBron intentionally got under him nor did it look like an attempt by Granger to draw a foul. That said, I think LeBron should have been called for a foul as he was moving toward Granger and I believe the defender is supposed to give the shooter room to land. That point aside I think Miami definitely overreacted to the Hansbrough foul. I'm rooting for the Heat to come out of the east, but I think Haslem and Dexter Pittman should be suspended for game 6.
 
I did just see the end of game Pittman flagrant. That was really dirt and uncalled for. I suspect Stern will come down hard on him and Haslem tomorrow.
 
Disappointed at the untimely injuries for the Pacers. I really hoped the Pacers would take it to LeChoke in this series.
Well looks like either Thunder or Spurs would have to do the job for me.
 
Why assume that Miami will be in the finals? When was the last time they beat Boston?

If there is any team that Boston can beat, it is Miami. Especially if they don't have Bosh. Boston can lock them down, play slow, play physical, execute, and Rondo can dominate.

Seriously folks, Boston might struggle against everyone else in the playoffs OTHER than Miami. They matchup well, already are in Miami's heads, and have dominated Miami all season long.

it was a dirty play, just like the others were, 3 instances of trying to injure the opponent, JMO.

i have no blind hate for the heat , you have no idea what you are talking about, carolina had practically turned me into a Heat fan, but I can't support a dirty team that has the refs favor them, and after seeing them tonight I can no longer support them this year.

If they play the Spurs, I hope both teams lose.

...obvious, East and I are practically on the same page when it comes to todays NBA! However, I hope the Spurs win the whole thing! Flagrant fouls need to be dealt with in a more serious manner. Flagrant 1's = 1 game suspension. Flagrant 2's = 2 game suspension.

....I have to side with Cyrone on this one, East! Although it's possible to get out of the way of a jump shooter so that he doesn't land on your foot....there's always a chance it can happen. I've had it happen to me on numerous occasions when I played basketball. I almost considered just turning myself into a set shooter to prevent it from happening again!

Don't forget LeBron did this soon after the Miami team was worked into a frenzy overreacting to the mild flagrant foul against Wade. and he just happened to do it against the guy who shot 3 for 4 from 3 in the game. and it just happened to be in a 2-2 series that Miami was supposed to win easily.

Many of you always assume that every time a player just happens to subtly injure another player , it is innocent.
Just because it doesn't "look" intentional, does not mean it was not intentional. Putting your foot underneath a jump shooter is very rare, and goes against the unwritten code of basketball players, otherwise everybody would have twisted ankles all the time. There is a good chance this was not innocent. Based in what I have seen previously from Miami, I would not put it past them to do practically anything to try to win a title.

and yes, it should have been called as a foul.

I am going to use one of your favorite lines. "You don't know what you're talking about"
