Udonis Haslem Admits Foul On Tyler Hansbrough Was Retaliation For Dwyane Wade

[KingMichael23]

[QUOTE]Udonis Haslem admitted retaliating on Tyler Hansbrough in Game 5, which led to a one-game suspension.

Hansbrough fouled Dwyane Wade on a previous play that drew blood.

Haslem thinks he's so thug. He messed with Tyler, of all people. :rolleyes:

I still think Heat are soft. Mentally that is.

People thought Lakers were soft against Boston in 08. They didn't need to smack people around to change peoples mindset, they changed their own mindset. Developed a championship attitude. Heat still trying to find a way to do that, you see flashes of it now and then, just lacks consistency and focus.

Committing flagrant fouls doesn't help, hurts your image if anything. I honestly think Miami is more softer after all this nonsense.

[RoseCity07]

Heat are the best team when they want to be.

Deal with it.

[Velocirap31]

I see nothing wrong with sticking up for your teammates. Good job Haslem.

[Lebron23]

Old School Mentality. The Destroyer Pittman will be back in Game 3.

Hansbrough acted like a douche in this series. He was pretty much useless against the Heat.

Heat are a dirty team. Tyler Hansbrough was going for the ball. Not at D-Wade. Why retaliation? Why try to hurt somebody else on purpose? And that shouldn't have been a flagrant foul on Hansbrough
That doesn't matter because Haslem didn't think so. His retaliation is based on his belief that Hansborough was playing dirty. That makes him wrong, not dirty.

[bdreason]

What's the big deal?

You flagrant foul my teams star player, I'm going to send someone to return the favor. This isn't something new.

[Lebron23]

Yeah

[Batz]

And we didn't need Haslem to say it out-loud to figure it out either...

[Indian guy]

They didn't need to smack people around to change peoples mindset

Butt hurt Laker fan alert :oldlol:

Miami's shots were retaliations to Indiana's own cheap shots. They didn't just start smacking Indiana around to shed a label they DO NOT HAVE. This was all about getting back at Indiana for all the phony posturing they were doing.


I honestly think Miami is more softer after all this nonsense.

OK :oldlol:

You're the only one the planet who thinks that. The rest of the league and fans learned you don't **** with the Heat. Every single player they'll now face will think twice before landing a cheap shot on LeBron and Wade.

I don't mind that if I'm the only one who thinks that. I don't get how I'm butt-hurt either.

You respond to nonsense, with more nonsense. You just extend a series. You respond to nonsense with winning basketball, and maybe you'd finish off a team of dumb asses a tad bit quicker.

Miami are mentally weak. Lebron crumbles under-pressure, Wade takes too many days off and gets frustrated easily, Bosh usually has no clue what's going on, the role players are self-explanatory.

They can be power-houses. Just these mental errors and slips hold them back.


How am I butt-hurt by the way? I really want to know how you concluded to that.

[Clippersfan86]

You're a Laker fan. You will always be butt-hurt about anything concerning LeBron/Heat. That and your argument doesn't make any sense. How does retaliating cheap shots with cheap shots make you soft?


You respond to nonsense with winning basketball

Which is exactly what Miami did.


and maybe you'd finish off a team of dumb asses a tad bit quicker.

Miami didn't lose a single game once they stopped taking Indiana's tough guy posturing.


Miami are mentally weak.

I disagree, and so would the Pacers.

[Batz]

Funny. I'm not bitter, never indicated it in the slightest. I'm actually rooting for the Heat with the Lakers out, because I genuinely believe that they are the only remaining team in the playoffs that can take the Spurs out. Explained in several other threads. They're also my cousin's favourite team, and he's the reason why I started watching Basketball.

And he agrees with me. And he's been a legitimate Heat fan longer than anyone I've ever known. Online or in the real world.



Which is exactly what Miami did.

No. They responded with nonsense. And the series got extended to 6 games, when it should've been 4-5 easy. Pacers have solid talent, but they're stupid. Like really stupid, and the Heat just found a way to match their stupidity.



Miami didn't lose a single game once they stopped taking Indiana's tough guy posturing.
Repeat.



I disagree, and so would the Pacers.
Who's asking the Pacers? Why would we ask the Pacers?


Look, I get where you're coming. Smack a team around, and you get the intimidation factor. I've seen teams try this all the time. Trying to bad-boy piston their way into a win.

Doesn't work. Miami didn't start winning this series because of the cheap shots. They started winning because they ignored the nonsense, and began playing basketball. Wade's push, Haslem's cheapshot, and Pittman's murder attempt had nothing to do with it. It came down to Wade and Lebron finally realizing that the Pacers don't have a clue what they're doing, and then took-over the series.

The nonsense dictated nothing. It just showed that a stupid Pacers team can get under the Heat's skin, and frustrate them so easily. It just extended a series that didn't need to be extended. And in the end, Miami overcame their mental errors and demolished them.

[G-train]

Haslem thinks he's so thug. He messed with Tyler, of all people. :rolleyes:

He is one tough player, regardless of the opposition.

[Phong]

When Wade gets fouled hard, he calls for back up to fight his fights. When he's barely touched and doesn't get the whistle, he pouts and makes a dirty play.

It's perfect sense if you don't have hate clouded judgement.
He won a title in 2006. He came very close in 2011. And in my opinion he will win another in 2012. All while being the teams best player or close to it.
If that's a mentally weak player, in the greatest league in the world, under the highest pressure in basketball, then you are stupid or clouded with hate.

I had to take a step back from the computer and facepalm. Seriously.

I'm a Wade fan. So no haterism. Just you having to spew out the usual to convince yourself that you know what you're talking about. When in reality, you have no ****ing clue what's going on.

I watched the 2006 series. Main reason why I'm a fan of him. Awesome series.

He mentally crumbled in the 2011 series, so did Lebron. Neat start, huge in their two wins, not so much in about 2-3 of their losses though.

I expect the usual response. Have at it now. Maybe throw in a smiley or a thousand. I expect nothing less.

[DStebb716]

Heat are the best team when they want to be.

Deal with it.

And the most underachieving team if they don't.
I honestly believe that if they absolutely set their minds to it, the Miami Heat could go undefeated. There is SO much talent between just the three main pieces that it doesn't matter what is around them. But they just aren't focused and don't want it enough.

[kidachi]

I don't get what the nonsense is.. Extended? Pacers are a solid team on O and D.. It's expected to be 5 or 6 games.. I don't think they got under the Heat's skin.. the "tough guy" act "started" in game 3.. one of the worst shooting games of the series for the Heat.. that's when the Heat said that whatever Granger is doing, it won't work.. after that they smacked the Pacers around..

Nonsense started in game 2. They lost two games because of it. Took em till game 4 to realize shit. And then they owned the rest of the way.

[Jimmy2k8]

So, not to digress from.the topic, but did I really just read in the second page of this thread that the Heat/Lebron were two wins away from winning the championship? So what? They lost. They had no chance of winning that series after game 2.
But please continue with the "two games away from winning the championship". I only see Heat fans bring that nice excuse up.

Lakers were so and so points on different games and could've taken a 3-1 lead against OKC. Their mental weakness got the better of them. And the series was practically over after the game 2 breakdown. :confusedshrug:

How the f*ck is Dwayne Wade mentally weak? You never quite know if people are being serious or just trolling. I get the LeBron hate .. but Wade? Dude tore it up in '06. One black mark against Dallas doesn't take that away. It'd be like calling Kobe mentally weak when L.A choked away that lead to Boston. Or when he choked in '04.

Dwayne's paid his dues and got shit done. Not sure if you can remember that or if you were 7 when it happened .. or just trolling :oldlol:

Haslem has a clean record in the NBA. He isn't dirty but he is tough and not a wuss.

For a thread to be about him admitting it was to get back at Tyler is like Haslem admitting he is black. Pretty f'n obvious and goes without saying.

Some of you guys are ****in hypocrites. If this was any team other than the Heat, you'd be on that players nuts like a fly on shit.

Haslem is an enforcer, he always has been. You **** with his superstar by gnashing his eye open with a hard foul, he's going to put you on your ass, and he's not going to feel bad about it. Those guys have been a part of the league for decades, and every team is better off to have a guy like that on their roster.

So a guy who has really no record of being an enforcer, having to step up with a key player out meaning that he can't be an enforcer, and a guy named Juwan Howard on the bench, is somehow the team's enforcer?

Pulling out of your ass? And how does it make me a hypocrite?

[gilalizard]

Can you imagine how Miami homers would of been squealing about the injustice of it all if someone had retaliated against Wade for his leg-sweep of Rondo, which was deliberate and far more serious.

Or retaliated against Wade for his deliberate elbow on Rip.

Or retaliated against Wade for his deliberate body-check of Collison.

Wade gets away with murder on the court.

According to Haslem's attitude, it's long overdue for Wade to be getting some payback.

So if a Boston comes out and purposely breaks wades arm for retaliation for last season, you guys condoning this wouldn't mind right?

I read an interview with Wade after this happened. This was more of an emotional response. Wade said he thought his career was probably over after all the hard work he put in. Remember this was less than a year after he won a championship.

[Dro]

I still don't understand how people are comparing a play where Tyler was obviously going for the ball and his follow through hit Wade in the face...Haslem was not going for the ball at all...umm, how is Haslem justified for retaliating against Hansborough who made a clean play on the ball? When did he say this quote? Before or after he saw the replay? If he's seen the replay, then he's full of shit, if he hadn't seen both replays yet, then Ill cut him some slack...
