Could someone explain what sort of injury felled him in the 3rd quarter? That guy writhes in pain more than any other player I've EVER seen.
If you look at the play again, i think you will see that he landed with his thumb extended when he put his entire weight on one hand.
He was most likely in the same position as pierce was in 08 against the lakers, he hyper extended his thumb and that must have set off a sharp pain just as it happens and that most likely scared the living dung out of him.
And it would make sense when you think about his last 2 free throws as they were not just off, they were off the right and left of the rim respectively.. thats not choking, thats just poor free throwing something vince has actualy been very good at this year.
You can say alot about Vince Carter but he does not strike me as a person that would fake something like that.
Looking back at how the Lakers looked at pierce going down in 08, im choosing to take the high road and giving Vince Carter the benifit of the doubt.. im not going to go down to the Laker level and cruzify Carter for the fall he had or the 2 missed free throws
