Rip Hamilton and Ben Wallace are the only two players on that team I can stand
Rip??
Coming into the series he was in my top 15 favorites, but that has changed a bit.
This guy sends out cheap shots to Dwyane Wade on EVERY possession - whether it's an albow in the face, elbow in the chest, pushing him into the stands, etc. He hasn't been called against any of this YET in this series, and he should be. Then, he gets T'ed up and continues to curse the refs, yet no Double-T. Guess what? If that's Udonis Haslem arguing the call even AFTER receiving a tech, he's out of there with a Double-T.
I'm one of those guys who will always tell you, "I hope so & so is healthy for Detroit, because I want to beat the at full strength." Yet if you ask me my opinion on Rip Hamilton, I'll tell you that he should be suspended for Game 6, and should've been suspended for Game 5. There's nothing wrong with harrassing someone defensively, but hey man, you don't throw out cheap shots. Only ******* do that.
Nonetheless, I'm a fan of Chauncey & Rasheed.

They were letting the players play last night... I am fine with that... however, we need our freethrows...
I thought they were letting Detroit play last night, but not Miami.
A couple of those early Shaq calls could've and should've been let go.
Dwyane Wade goes to the basket all night, and attempts 3 free throws? That's almost impossible - the guy attempts an average 10-11 a game. Still, I don't blame the refs. I blame Miami. Detroit did get lucky though, and you've gotta admit it. Most of the second half was Detroit up by 2-4 points, and Dwyane Wade, Gary Payton, and Udonis Haslem (all shooting over 80% this playoffs) combined for 1/8 FT shooting. That's just unlucky and has a .01% chance of ever happening twice. But of course, similar to the New England Patriots, if it ever has a slim chance of happening and actually does...it's gonna come when facing Detroit.
