but really, that was a rough foul. direct elbow to the face, very similar to metta world peace.

if dexter pittman was actually an important player it could have been a bigger deal.

[GoRapz]

Does anyone have a link to the hit? I was at work

[L.Kizzle]

I agree with Kenny.

Granger said his collar bone is probably broken. How ever many games Stephenson has to miss, Pitman has to miss the same amount.

[drizzy0503]

Let the butthurt flow through you...

yeah lance totally 'owned him' when he was still standing

pittman is a weak pussybitch

[Apogee]

Huh? :wtf: A fine is the max punishment, so a suspension is crazy.

You should look at the replay and take of those glasses. I'm down for the tough fouls and trying to make a statement but that was just flat out stupid by pittman. He could have hurt him and on top of that didn't even try to hide th fact that he did it. That shit was blatant as ****

[LBJMVP]

It took me maybe half a year to forgive pujols. Meanwhile you're STILL butthurt about lebron. :coleman:


so because i dont root for the heat im butthurt?

:roll:

of course im rooting against the heat, isn't that what a hardcore cleveland fan would do? nope, im rooting for cleveland to win a ring before lebron, and if that is the definition of someone being but hurt, than yeah i guess i am butt hurt.


also, no one gives a f*ck about baseball.

[Ketchup]

yeah lance totally 'owned him' when he was still standing

Yeah, u mad.

And, nobody is talking about "the decision". Dan Gilbert is basically an even worse James Dolan. You're never going to win with him.

Get it through your head. He doesn't give a shit about your team or your city. It's just a business to him. He doesn't care about winning or even competing let alone the economics of Cleveland. He's just a racist old douche bag.

[DStebb716]

Pittman should be suspended for 5 games. Haslem should be suspended for one game.

[RRR3]

It was worse than bynums IMO. Mwp is up there too. Tired of this these idiots need to control their tempers what if they actually killed or nearly killed someone. Like Kermit Washington and Rudy tomjanovich?

[christian1923]

Off topic but who cares if pittman is suspended, he defines scrub.

[nbaballllller]

You are pathetic.

nah u just mad bro

[PJR]

Pittman should absolutely be suspended. Multiple games. The rest of the way as a matter of fact.

But excuse me if I have no sympathy for Lance Stephenson. He is a woman beating piece of shit.

Shut up dumbass Knicks fans are the worst. I'd take pujols back in a second he's the best I've ever seen. Doesn't mean he carried us to a world series, because you can't do that in baseball it's not the nba where an individual Can dominates

[bagelred]

No blood, no foul.

Man you guys are ******* "He should be suspended for life." :lol It was a hard foul. Deal with it. If Charles Oakley did that, you'd be praising him.

Lebron and Wade were just shown laughing when it happened on a replay on NBA TV. Just pathetic....

Pittman should be suspended for 5 games. Haslem should be suspended for one game.

I agree with this. Haslem should have just been ejected from the game, but a 1 game suspension is worthy since that wasn't the call made.

That was just bad luck. He threw a punch, it happens. It was a reaction. And it's much different than the shit Pittman did.




MWP is not even worth discussing. He should have been suspended for the whole year. Pittman was ridiculous and worse than Bynum. Bynum was one of the true dirty, bush league plays. What Pittman did was just disgusting.

[ihoopallday]

Dirty play. Him and Haslem have to be suspended. Sucks for us because Haslem started showing up the last two games.

[BigTicket]

That was seriously dirty by Pittman, and he should be suspended for 2-3 games.

No play on the ball, and completely unnecessary at that point in the game.

[BallsOut]

I find it hard to believe that you were ever a Tmac fan. Most tmac fans I know today are Durant fans because of how similar their playstyles were. :confusedshrug:

[Jimmy2k8]

Guess what? I hope none of them get suspended just to see the reactions of pissed off Nba fans. I do think the fouls are suspension worthy, but it's be hilarious if none of them got suspended.

Lol people please shut up, it's basketball he tried to go for a boxout and was too late, maybe a flagrant 1 but that's it...people are are too soft and crying way to much these days

what? open elbow to the neck? you expect blood there? maybe inner bleeding but it's outrageos

[Real Men Wear Green]

He might have gotten away with it but for the wink. That was really stupid. Now he can't be defended. I don't know if a suspension is coming or not but it was undoubtedly intentional and that kind of play got Artest 7 games. Artest's history was taken into consideration thereand I don't think Pittman has a bad history like his but there's no doubt he meant to do it.

[bdreason]

He should be suspended.




That said, what did you expect? This is what happens when you send scrubs (Hansbrough, Granger, etc.) to hard foul / intimidate the other teams best players (Wade, LeBron). The other teams sends out their scrubs to retaliate.


Watch Hockey sometime, it happens every game.

[BigTicket]

Having looked at it again, I think my earlier call of 2-3 days suspension was too light. Should be more like 5 days.

That was a seriously dangerous play, and he wasn't even trying to go for the ball. Such things should not be tolerated.

Bynum got 5 days and so should Pittman.

[Lebron23]

Pittman sucks. A 36 yrs.old Zydrunas Ilgauskas is a more productive player.

[ihoopallday]

bannde from league

Doubt it. If players involved in that Pistons and Pacers brawl weren't banned, I don't think anyone will ever be. Lol Artest punched a fan! He got suspended for a season. Gilbert Arenas wasn't banned for bringing guns to an arena! Lol sounds like you'd have to murder someone to be banned in this league.

[RazorBaLade]

Gilbert Arenas wasn't banned for bringing guns to an arena! Lol sounds like you'd have to murder someone to be banned in this league.

Provoked. Thats the difference. Artest got something thrown at him, he went and punched who he thought he did it.

This one wasn't revenge or anything if I'm understanding correctly, he decided at some course in that play or prior that hes going to completely, without remorse, run and stikc his elbow out at the face of an Indy player. It hits him in the chin/jaw if he doesn't jump at the perfect moment.

I don't think theres any place for this at bball, and unlike losing actual decent players with the pistons/pacers brawl, this is an easy way to send a message without actually hurting anyones chances of winning or ending promising players careers.

Altho yeah, I doubt it, I think he should. Those guys werent banned because they are good players imo, you can't allow scrubs to run wild and still have careers imo.

[I<3NBA]

that doesn't look like a wink. i thought it looked like he was just closing his eyes to let perspiration roll off.

btw, those are the kinds of plays the "weak eras" of the 70s and 80s played. i'm sure Kobe Bryant will flourish in that "weak era." it's a "no defense" era.

[RazorBaLade]

that doesn't look like a wink. i thought it looked like he was just closing his eyes to let perspiration roll off.

the fact that his lips are pursed slightly that way makes it look like hes holding back a smile, i think its a safe reach to say that it was a wink because of that.

I really don't get how people are trying to pass this off as anything but complete and utter filth. You don't elbow a guy in the throat like that. There was no play on the ball, that was no where near a box out, that was a blatant attempt to take the guy out.

I don't mind basketball getting physical, but that is street fight kinda crap right there.

Elbow to the neck and winking to your bench after, 0 games.

Love the NBA!

[pauk]

Go ahead, dude is useful only for warming a bench

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

There is no question that Pittman will be suspended.
I think its obvious that Haslem will too.
If one is NOT suspended, then we know that the league has an agenda.

[bdreason]

A lot of people talking about the "wink", but I was just watching the Hansbrough foul on Wade, and right after he gives a low-five to Amundson and shows no remorse for the hit to the head.



In my opinion, that means Haslem's foul was justified against Hansbrough. Pittman's foul was still ridiculous though.

[DuMa]

stop acting like bitches that the NBA hasnt handed out the suspensions yet. they still got another day before they can announce it. my guess they will announce it tommorow morning.

If the NBA doesn't suspend both players, you can guarantee that karma will come back and bite the NBA in the ass. Karma is unavoidable.

Wades been playing dirty these whole playoffs. About time someone was willing to get their hands dirty....

[Whoah10115]

The Haslem hit is not the end of the world. The only reason he should be suspended is that he wasn't kicked out when he was.



Haslem's foul was justified, to a point...not the point he took it. I don't think he crossed the line, but that was stupid. Tyler was wearing a mask a few weeks ago. I wouldn't be surprised to find him wearing it again and having a broken nose.




But what Pittman did was ridiculous.

[Nash]

Haslem won't get suspended, all the reporters are saying that.

Pittman will.

[pegasus]

Haslem won't get suspended, all the reporters are saying that.

Well, then I won't blame the Pacers players for flooring someone before the end of the game (unless they're winning). It will be warranted with Haslem playing.

Haslem foul is borderline but I'm leaning to him not getting suspended but Pittman should be suspended for multiple games.

Wade was the one who first initiated contact this series with the Collison shove. But Indiana are the ones are started running their mouth first. Can't blame em though, it was painfully obvious Miami didn't take them serious and probably felt disrespected.

Indiana ran their mouths against the Bulls too IIRC. Seems to be a habit of theirs. Haslem's foul was a flagrant 2, but no more. I guess he can get a 1 game suspension but I don't really know if it's necessary. Pittman should be gone for the rest of the playoffs at least though.

Only reason Haslem could be ejected is cause its usually automatic with a F2. But I don't think Haslem or Tyler should be suspended, especially cause the two of them are essential to the team right now and losing them can easily change the series.

But agree, Pittman has to go. He probably knows he's gone.

Am I the only one who wants to see a brawl?

I know I wouldn't take that shit if I was a Pacer. I wouldn't allow one bucket inside the paint, any time someone went inside, they'd end up on their back.

Who cares if you win or lose, right? It's all about sending a message.

That's what happened in the 80s and early 90s when you went up against the Pistons or Knicks. Hard fouls are part of playoff basketball. Throwing a blatant elbow in a near 40 point blowout isn't.

[raptorfan_dr07]

I love the physicality in this series so far and I'm pulling hard for Indy to upset the South Beach Divas.

What Dexter Pittman did, was definitely intentional and IMO, worse than Ron Artest's hit on James Harden. He should get suspended for quite some time. However, I didn't really have a problem with it because of who he hit. Lance Stephenson wanted to act like a jack@$$ in Game 3 and start grabbing his neck, trying to show people up despite having so many splinters up his @$$ from sitting on the bench too long. If it was someone like Roy Hibbert or George Hill, or Danny Granger who made the choking sign, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Stephenson acted out and got what he deserved. He wants to grab his neck, he'll get a reason to and Pittman did just that. I bet he'll think twice now before grabbing his neck like an idiot. I guess being stupid was worth a broken collarbone.

Haslem's foul also should be upgraded to a flagrant 2. That was also premeditated. I expect Indiana to come out firing in Game 6, and the crowd's gonna be hyped up. Can't wait. :banana:


A lot of people talking about the "wink", but I was just watching the Hansbrough foul on Wade, and right after he gives a low-five to Amundson and shows no remorse for the hit to the head.


I saw that too. I was laughing my @$$ off at it, just like when Pittman winked. Funny as hell. But yeah, it just shows that both were intentional as was Haslem's hit. The only one who should be suspended though is Dexter Pittman.

Yep he's suspended. Don't think it matters though, him not suspended is essentially like being suspended all game long.

Doing the Reggie Miller choke taunt warrants an elbow to the throat?
