Going to be interesting to see what Joel Anthony can give them in Birdman's absence. A lot less rebounding anyway. I don't think he fared all that well defensively against Hibbert in last year's playoffs either.

Udonis Haslem was huge in that game five also. If those two (U.Haslem, J.Anthony) can't play at a high level for Miami, Indiana's chances are very strong of forcing a Game 7.

Justice is served. It was so blatantly a flagrant 2 attach on Hansborougn, and Tyler never retaliated. It was an awful, awful call during the game.

Birdman's a fool.  Psycho T (surprisingly) didn't even touch anyone on that play.

  They'll do that and fine LeBron for flopping and somehow people will ignore them letting Wade get away with his flying elbow. The Birdman took one for the league.

I wasn't expecting tha NBA to correct this. That push was definitely worthy of an ejection and should have been a flagrant two from jump. It was twice that Andersen made unnecessary contact with Psycho T. Tha NBA is on a roll right now.

This is the league publicly admitting their officials aren't competant enough to get it right. Even after several minutes of replays. How sad.

Will LeBron explode with another 45-point Game 6 performance just like last year now that he's learned Birdman getting suspended?

Hm...

Good, he deserved it.  TNT comparing it directly to the Mohammed ejection probably helped.

Hope they retracted the T on Hansbrough too, he didn't do anything wrong that I saw. Just saw in the OP that they did.
