Rose out again vs. the Heat, Deng is back - Bosh is game-time decision. Should be a fun game nonetheless! Hope Noah comes in fired up, according to NBA's TBT Dexter Pittman is starting as C, could be a massacre even with Noah's rather limited offense. Would be cool if Rip kept up his shooting from the Bobcats game, though getting a rhythm vs. Charlotte's defense isn't the hardest thing in the world - would be sick if Boozer had a huge night vs. Miami too, he's had a tendency to go into the background vs. the Heat :\

At some point you'd figure TNT would stop giving people the opportunity to vote for him..

I dont know why anyone cares who plays in Miami vs Chicago games. It's going on 2 years and both teams with major layers out have not mattered one bit. Every game is close.

Why not? Was it not both unnecessary and excessive?

it was a flagrant two in the soft nba, it was just plain stupid in reality.

lbj and haslem look good together. high energy players around him always look amazing though.

man is haslems jumper still THAT broken?

Bleh, not a flagrant two. Very dumb nonetheless from Jones. Don't know what he's trying to achieve there.

Dwight officially out for the rest of the season:
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7834605/agent-says-orlando-magic-dwight-howard-back-surgery

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard will undergo back surgery Friday morning in Los Angeles to repair a herniated disk, effectively ending his season and eliminating him from participation in the 2012 Summer Olympics, Howard's agent said Thursday night.

And the Pacers wrap up home court advantage for the first round of the playoffs. Probably will face the Magic in the first round too.

That shove was equal to Jones' flagrant 2 (not that Jones' should've been a 2).. and somehow Hamilton gets a T ?

If they had been consistent both should have been flagrant two's (not that I like the soft stance tho). I'm pretty sure both got a T for talking after the foul.

I don't know why Rip gets a T there? Did he actually do anything to warrant it?

edit: for the jawing I guess...?

unnecessary yes. excessive no. Flagrant 2s are usually ridiculously physical things that could result in injury like undercutting a guy or a hard foul in mid air.
