Lkr Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ok, I will let you think that his play was completely unintentional.you really think tyler hansbrough was attempting to harm wade? if so, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
platoon793 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Lkr, I believe the reason Hansbrough's was a flagrant was because he came down so hard on Wade. Doesn't really matter if he got the ball first or not, especially since he also hit Wade's head. Edited May 23, 2012 by platoon793 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Haslem was going for the ball.... lmfaoooo just kidding im not blindi thought they were equal plays, but i'll be honest, i missed it because i downloaded doodle jump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 you really think tyler hansbrough was attempting to harm wade? if so, LOLLook where Wade has the ball, and look where Hansbrough aims. If you didn't post a .5 second long gif, I could see it clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Lkr, I believe the reason Hansbrough's was a flagrant was because he came down so hard on Wade.it is a possibility, i'm just saying that hansbrough had no intention of hurting anyone, while haslem was obviously going to try and take out hansbrough if hansbrough had legitimately hurt wade, i wouldn't have been so opposed to a flagrant on the call, but instead wade flailed to the ground like he was knocked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't post a .5 second long gif, I could see it clearer.he goes up to contest, realizes he won't get a clean block, decides to commit the foul and make him earn two from the line. since when is that not a legitimate basketball play?

SRV Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I am not debating Haslem wasn't going for revenge, I am just wondering why you would complain about someone protecting their teammate. Either Hansbrough has terrible hand-eye coordination, or he meant to get any part of Wade he could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) no shit he's trying to hit him, how else do you foul someone?!?!?! Edited May 23, 2012 by Lkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 no shit he's trying to hit him, how else do you foul someone?!?!?!So what Hansbrough did was nothing close to a flagrant of any kind? I am sure the refs just called a flagrant for the hell of it. He made contact with Wade's head just because he wanted a foul, that is a flagrant. I don't think you are allowed to hit someone on the head as means to commit a foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansbrough came down pretty hard, and Wade was even cut on the play. I don't see why you are complaining about Wade going on the ground. As for Haslem, I basically agree. I understand the whole protect your teammate thing, but to make such a play at such a crucial time was just plain stupid. Also, great way for the Heat to finish the quarter. This third quarter is going to be huge. Hope the Heat can replicate the run they had last game in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 the replay right there showed that hansbrough hit the ball before anything else. if anything, he got a block and made some incidental contact. i don't think it is much of a flagrant tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) The point is the refs are stupid. There, problem solved. Haslem's move was stupid, but he was trying to make a point. The Pacers have been physical all series and we have not done a damn thing to combat that. Edited May 23, 2012 by SRV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 LOL at Kenny "The Jet" Smith saying if Metta had done what Haslem did, he would've been arrested in the arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is usually when a defensive player swings and makes hard contact with the offensive player or makes hard contact and then follows through. I'd say it qualifies pretty well for a flagrant. Doesn't matter that he got the ball first, he made hard contact, and it was on the head. I'll give you that Haslem should have gotten a flagrant 2, but to say Hansbrough's wasn't a flagrant just because he got the ball first is pretty stupid. You can't swing down your arm like that on a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that those two plays were equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way that those two plays were equivalent.Agreed. Going on that, what the [expletive] was Pittman thinking? Absolutely stupid and dirty play. That probably should have been a flagrant two as well. Definitely looked intentional. Anyway, great game for the Heat. Great shooting for the Heat, and very good defense. Still need to cut down on the Pacers' offensive rebounds (what kept them in the game in the 1st half). Also, Heat still missing a lot of free throws, especially Wade. Those can come back and haunt us if the game is close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
