So what was this topic about again? Tampering or flagrant fouls?

its is tampering but wade and riley should not be fined. The evidence is invalid because the mic is supposed to be used for the viewers of television to see whats going on in the court and not being used for the nba to investigate its players.

How about them whining to the league about replaying the last minute or so against the Hawks and then trading away Shaq. What a crock of **** that was.

uhm, they had a legitimate reason to complain, and it doesn't matter if it was shaq or someone else.

and what I find the most interesting out of this is that dwayne said they needed a 4, I know there have been talks of miami trading haslem, but this makes it seem like it's just a matter of time...

The error didn't have any effect on the outcome. I don't have a problem with it, but it is incredibly stupid for a terrible team to whine about something that had no effect on the outcome and then trade away the player they were crying for. Shaq certainly had no problem with taking a seat.

this was not playful banter between a player formally on the team

uhm, it being stupid and them being terrible doesn't mean it's not wrong...

It's called cheering for a player actually hustling, showing heart, and trying to make a play. There hasn't been much of that in Miami this year, and the fans were just glad to see it.

Why does anyone care? I don't care if Riley or Wade get fined, I didn't care that Phil got fined. Doesn't effect any salary cap, ticket prices, whatever, just a tiny slap on the wrist to multimillionaire coaches who won't blink twice. I can't view the video at work, but the largest concern of the whole thing would be if they were serious, it indicates Haslem would be leaving. It's not like Odom has a player option and Riley's 'tampering' will effect his decision. If Riley has cap room in 09 I'm sure he'll be at his front door at 12:01am the first day of FA and can show him how much he loves him.

"Chris Bosh, obviously, everybody's going to be interested in. And we think he's become quite a talent."

^ Those are the comments PJ got fined $25,000 for.

it sounds dumb to people, but TKB is right, jackson was fined for something totally stupid. Alot of people heard this around the country, knowing they were messing with Lamar, but you never know.

Atlanta should get punished because it was THEIR employee that **** up against the other team..
