Diener Knocks Amare Down; Amare Lives?
So I was perusing the Pacers board in anticipation of tonight's game, when I came across a thread titled "Travis Diener - Beast". In it, was the following video *WARNING - CONTAINS VIOLENT CONTENT*:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_GprgllJq8
Here we get a rare glimpse into the superhuman side that Travis Diener so privately tries to protect. With a single one-armed push to the side, the Doogie Monster sends Amare Stoudamire spiraling backwards into the baseline cameramen.
Of course, the crowd boos Diener for not "finishing him" right afterwards, but Diener, in an act of unwarranted mercy, allows his softer foe to walk away in humiliating defeat. Amare gets up and silently walks back towards his teammates, who quietly give him fives for "staying alive".
Or at least that's the way it all looked to me.
My question, to this day: Why do we always complain about needing an enforcer, when we had one all along?
P.S. - No "OT:" in the title because DIENER TOPICS ARE NEVER OFF-TOPIC MHEC AND WHOEVER ELSE

Diener vs Gortat tonight, the world might just end.
Amare might still be alive but Diener took his soul.

Diener can now morph into Amare whenever he wants, Shang Tsung style.
As for the Diener vs. Gortat match-up, I am 100% certain that this is why the game will not be televised on SunSports tonight. The Magic are doing their part to keep as many television sets in the Central Florida area from blowing up as possible. FSN watchers, my condolences.
I will be listening to the game on a small, $1 AM radio that I bought at the Salvation Army this afternoon. Outside in a field.

On a serious note, however, this shows just how huge a flopper Amare is. The dude is freakin' pathetic.

I saw that live on League Pass and got enraged. I think I brought it up that night here on the board.

David Stern deemed this Gortat vs Diener matchup too dangerous so he had both of them caged behind barbed wire and bulletproof glass. Said Stern after the game: "We had to lookout for the well being of our fans so we had to contain the two beast. Had we let them play against each other it could have lead to the equivalent of two nuclear bombs going off at each other. The collateral damage would have been too great. I can not have that in my conscience."

The one time that fans around the world were actually relieved to see an NBA game fixed.
