    So: Ray Allen can't even shoot now? Doesn't that make him pretty much worthless?

    It would be awesome if they all did it at once.

    I'm pretty sure everyone on the Heat are worthless, at this point. Except LBJ and Cole.

    He is the major reason why Indiana is keeping the heat out of the paint. He is a superstar

    That was a horrible call on James. Hibbert was clearly inside the circle, and Steve Kerr doesn't even mention it. Hibbert was the weakside defender ... it doesn't matter if he was vertical on the play.

    I'm pulling for the Pacers, but that was a BS call. Inexcusable, really. Clearly a circle violation by the weakside defender.

    Plain as day to me. You can't lead with your elbows.

    I believe that even in the restricted area, the defender has the right to go vertical, which Hibbert did. So the call was correct.

    Bosh and Wade look pissed on the bench that they didn't play almost the entire 4th quarter.

    Nope. Not the weakside defender. There is no way that can be called an offensive foul.

    That's a no call if I ever saw one. Good attack on the basket. Good defense. No call.

    So ... do the Heat amnesty Wade, clear cap space, and make a run at Dwight Howard?

    He didn't lead with his elbows, and Hibbert was already in the restricted area. Horrible call. At best, should have been a no-call, and then the ref panicked and handed out two technical fouls.

    They wouldn't come close to making enough cap space to sign Howard.

    They can clear almost $19m by getting rid of Wade, and which means they would have to clear another $20m to sign Howard.

    Regardless, Wade is a shell of himself at this point of his career. I feel bad for the guy, because he's embarrassing himself.
