Brad Miller: Celtics are cheap headhunters...

Re: Brad Miller: Celtics are cheap headhunters...

On the refs part or the players? Because the refs had the oppurtunity to review it and get it right. With two seconds (assuming BM makes at least 1 ft) the Bulls could easily get a bucket. They send in Tyrus, decoy to Gordon, second decoy to D-Rose mid range, and then lob it up for TT24. So easy to get one point...

In a perfect world I suppose that could happen.

Re: Brad Miller: Celtics are cheap headhunters...

Ok I just watched the replay amplified on my computer and paused it at a point when Miller and Rondo were both in the air. At one point Rondo's fingers were literally INCHES from the ball. I have it paused right now if you want me to take a picture and email it to you I can. You guys underestimate how freakish this kid is proportionally.

Email it. [email protected] preferably. If it is apparent then I will believe it.

Actually if possible take a few so I can see the process. So like in order, you know what I mean?

Go to 2:30 and then pause it really fast to do like virtual slo mo. At one point you can see rondo's chest against Brad Miller's back and Rondo's arm fully outstretched reaching for the ball. The reason he got him across the face is cuz Brad Miller's path of motion was going straight to the basket and Rondo was coming from the side, so his hand caught him as he came across (and much harder than if he had hit the ball to stop the momentum from his swinging hand). I mean to be honest, I do this all the time in the gym and just apologize right after but I think it's part of the game. That's the advantage of being big... you have a larger range to protect the ball with but you are subject to getting hacked.

Also it helps to watch in high quality so you can actually see his hand.

I'm rooting against Boston more than any team in the playoffs but this is pretty weak of Miller. He got slapped in the face... wow. Big deal. Go to the line an make your free throws instead of choking.

Yeah, that really doesn't help. It isn't clear enough to make a decision either way. But when they showed it on CSN live, they replayed it like 5 times close up and it was pretty obvious he just desperately swung his hand out to try and prevent the layup. Problem was it was a clear flagrant.

Re: Brad Miller: Celtics are cheap headhunters...

It should have been a flagrant foul no question, and I am more of a Celtic fan than a Bulls fan.

The NBA where terrible officiating happens.

Re: Brad Miller: Celtics are cheap headhunters...

Hard playoff foul, no flagrant. If he makes his FT's, we're not having this conversation. And I'm rooting for Chicago in this one, btw.

Was I supposed to watch it at a certain angle? Because I dont see what youre saying. The clearest shot was the one on tv earlier that was behind the play, not from the nosebleeds by the press box.

He was probably dizzy. He had to have stitches for the hit. LOL. Good gawd. Some of the comments are nonsensical. "He should have hit his free throws." Thats like Tonya Harding saying Kerrigan should just suck it up. LOL. Sorry, but it was clearly a flagrant foul. The missed free throw doesnt exonerate a referreee from doing his job. Seriously, some of you need to go back to humping legs.

Not clear enough to tell.

If they give us the flagrant, we wouldn't be having this conversation. There is no excuse for officiating mistakes when they can correct themselves.

If Dwight gets suspended, but this doesn't get called, I will be pissed off like a Pist-on facing LeBron.
