GAME THREAD: HEAT @ BLAZERS - 12/28/13, SATURDAY, 7 PM (PST), KGW

[magnifier661]

I thought when you foul before you throw in it's 2 and the ball?

 

[Strenuus]

lmao. Bosh T'ed up.

 

[TripTango]

Heat announcers are hilarious -- griping about the officiating...

MIA Announcer: "Brian Forte compounding his mistake, making it worse"

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

And there's the Value of a Center that can hit free throws. Keep chirpin' baby bird Bosh. I love it.

 

[Rhal]

the real funny things is if they hadn't called that foul Maimi would have only had 2 fouls entering half.

 

[magnifier661]

Nice half! Btw, we haven't lost when leading at the half

 

[Rhal]

I thought when you foul before you throw in it's 2 and the ball?

I think that only applies to the final two minutes.

 

[magnifier661]

Oh I didn't know that

Well, to be fair, that should have been a delay of game, not a foul. We got gifted a foul there. I don't feel bad, but it wasn't that great of a call.

He does look like a bird that fell out of the ugly tree as a chick doesn't he?

Mike Rice would be bankrupt.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I think the foul called might be different than a common dead ball foul. I forget.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

We need to put this away in the 3rd.

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

Mike Rice would be bankrupt.

They never stream Rice on NBATV, so it's OK. lol

 

[magnifier661]

Mike Rice would be bankrupt.

Remember when the refs actually tossed rice out of the game?

 

[magnifier661]

We need to put this away in the 3rd.

+10 quarter?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

+10 quarter?

12-15

 

[magnifier661]

12-15

I like the way you think!

Known affectionately as "The Wild One," Rice has been referred to by journalist Kerry Eggers as "part basketball expert, part entertainer, 100 percent character."[6] Echoing these sentiments, Blazer television producer Scott Zachary has likened him to a "favorite uncle" and publicly pronounced him "a goofy dude".[6]
Rice himself acknowledges a propensity for blurting out sentiments that more circumspect announcers would tend to internally filter. "I don’t give a damn about a lot of things. Later on, I think back, 'Now why’d I do that?'" he has said.[6] This tendency to be what former broadcast partner Eddie Doucette has characterized as a "loose cannon,"[6] combined with his unabashed "homerism,"[7] has made Rice a figure of some controversy.[8]
Rice's outspoken demeanor resulted in one of the events for which he is best known, his 1994 ejection from an NBA game while working a radio broadcast.[6] As Rice tells the story:
"At the time, Steve Javie, the official, was a young official. That previous week he had kicked out a mascot, a fan, and kicked somebody else out, a trainer or something like that. He was on a roll that week, he had made a call, and I looked on the monitor and saw it was a bad call on Cliff Robinson. I kind of put my hands like that [two hands waived at the official] and he ran over. Cliff thought he was going to call a technical on him, because Cliff was standing there doing the same thing. He ran by Cliff and that's when he kicked me out of the game — the rest is history."[9]

If he shaved his head and tilled his head back when he chirped at the ref, he'd look like he was waiting for his mamma to drop a worm in his mouth.

 

[RipCityInsider]

I don't know if I've ever seen that before. lmao. It wasn't a foul.

I believe it is a new rule this year Strenny.

We can play better. I can't wait until CJ comes back. Mo is definitely playing better, but Wright is still...... disappointing.

Rice is a Blazer activist standing up to "the man." I love it.

Hahahaha +1. Not bad.... For a female.

I thought wright played solid defense tonight

 

[Natebishop3]

Leonard is playing pretty damn good... 4 points and 4 boards in 6 minutes.
