Wade tries to bullrush Steamer, Steamer falls over, a second passes, Wade trips over his own feet and loses his balance and falls over. Refs call foul on Steamer.

Must be rough playing for the Heat. I should just stop watching this game now before I get more angry.

Welp... that result was not surprising in the least.

These last 3 games were the easiest money to make off Wolves games all year. The cHeat were only favored by 9.5 are you kidding me? We are missing our starting C, PF, and SF.

Barea entertained me (not the 1-11 shooting part). I loved seeing him mouth "You are a pussy" to Ray Allen 5 times in a row as he walked off the court. That was a cheap foul, no doubt, but not a Flagrant 2!

Steamer pisses me off. He can't not foul.

Whomever Ridnour & Williams start off matched up against gets the privledge of owning them on offense, every game.

Ricky had some nasty D. Such heart. Such smarts. Such leadership. Such effort. Love it.

Alexi looked better. Williams looked pretty dece. CunningHAM can't hit his midrange any more.

The cHeat got more calls. Is anyone surprised by this though? Not phased.

We need Budinger or Love back soon to give us a reason to tune in. Right now it's just loyalty to the squad, love for the NBA, and Ricky that are keeping me somewhat interested.

I can't BELIEVE that was a flagrant 2. If Allen hadn't gotten up ready to attack Barea, nothing happens. What a joke. You just can't make it up. Sure, the Wolves weren't going to win that one but we were on a huge run and it absolutely changed the game, no doubt about it.

Pretty fitting that this happened when the spread was in jeopardy. Hmm.....

Barea gets a +10,000,000 from me tonight. He is now at -100,320,298,298,043. And the post game quotes are great. Barea gets a 1 game pass of zero snide remarks.

Also, glad to see Adelman pick up a T. Something makes it a little more satisfying when a coach loses his cool in a preposterous situation.

Also, Ricky looking PISSSSSED lately. Did anyone catch him do a running tantrum punch of the pad under the basket as the 1st half closed? My buddy also texted me that Spoelstra blocked an inbounds pass of sorts when the Wolves had an open guy up court and the refs did nothing.

This league becomes more laughable by the day. I have never seen such blatantly corrupt officiating as this year.

just let the Wolves lose in peace shitty refs.

I shall close the thread with the most awesome Crunch interruption ever. This video is the first harlem shake parody I've watched all the way through.

That flagrant 2 ejection for Barea was laughable at best. Jarret Jack did worse to Steamer last week and only got a technical. The refs are the personal bodyguards of the Miami Heat. They get so many ridiculous calls. Screw you NBA, you're ratings are going to drop by 1 person. I don't care if it's insignificant, it's on principle.

At least Ricky is turning into a bona fide superstar. Too bad he looks like a beaten man out there. If you can wear down Ricky's positivity and enthusiasm, then you know you have a miserable rotten basketball team that probably doesn't deserve to exist.

The Heat make the best use of their 6th, 7th, and 8th men out of all the teams in the league.

For instance, they run an 6 on 2 fast break better than anyone. They play the 8 on 5 half court game better than anyone. And damn, when they crash the glass with 7 guys, they are tough to beat.

Truth, preach on. If we didn't have Ricky on this team, you could seriously just contract the Wolves (or move them to Seattle or Sacramento after they lose the Kings, or whatever)... and I don't think anyone would even bat an eyelash.

I don't like anyone currently on this team other than Ricky and Pek. Everyone else just sucks or is boring or worthless. Or all of the above.

I like HAM as a guy who plays 15 minutes a night. I like Derrick Williams' chances of being successful in a couple years. He's improving.

The irony is that this was the best constructed team in recent history (well balanced, wings, bigs, depth) and has just been decimated by injuries.
