We lost the game for sure. No amount of bad officiating causes a 30-point loss. The foul on Pittman, however, was NOT just like any other. I'm actually kind of amazed that your keyboard didn't attack you as you were trying to type that.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith showed what a good hard foul is. Shaq was having a tough time not being biased, haha.

Just read that Udonis says he was making a play on the ball. If only the NBA suspended players for blatantly lying...

Haslem out 1 game, Pittman 3. Quite honestly, if they had tossed Haslem like they should have I wouldn't think it would deserve any suspension. The number of games they suspend Pittman doesn't matter at all, either, I just hope he gets hit with a fine that'll make him think twice before pulling that bush league crap again.

Haslem was a hard foul in retaliation for a hard foul and I fully agree that had he been tossed with a flagrant 2 no further penalty was required. but Pittman deserved what he got and more. that was premeditated violence with clear intent to injure. I'm glad the league saw what I saw. now, however, we need to forget about it. the object is to win game 6 and not to hurt them back. we need to show the class that they didn't show.

I'm pretty sure when NBA players are suspended, they also lose their pay for those games, so in essence they get fined on top of the suspension. (Although I'm not sure how pay works for playoff games. I assume they receive extra pay for the playoffs?).

LOL! I can imagine that. Maybe we can draft an NFL player for that purpose only, play him only against the Heat. He'll get suspended, sure, but just in time for the next game against them.

So after Artest threw that elbow, it seems everyone else wants to do it too. I hope Vogel puts in the least useful Pacer player to smash that wuss LeBron in the face. He wont retaliate anyway. It would be hilarious to pick on him. He can't fight.

I'm starting to really dislike the lack of class in these discussions.

Here? Or in the General board? I know on the general board there are several people that are way out of touch with reality over there.

But i think the level of trash talking and hating here is way too little compared to the GB and other teams' forums. This Heat series made every Pacer fan feel like a little bit of evil.
