Skip is an idiot

Skip Bayless ‏@RealSkipBayless
Dexter Pittman MUST be suspended. But NO WAY Haslem should be suspended and NO WAY his foul should've been upgraded to a Flagrant 2.

I didn't see Haslems' foul but Pittman should be suspended... Not that it really fucking matters.

Haslem two-handed over-handed clubbed Tyler in the face.

Ironically, that wasn't shown on the SC highlights either...

That makes 3 flagrant 2 fouls on Miami this series....of course none of them were ruled flagrant 2's. Its what happens when you play the NBA's cash cow

He hit him in the shoulder. Yes, it was payback for the foul on Wade and it was a flagrant.

It was replayed on Inside about ten times.

Haslem hit Hansbrough in the arms and clipped him in the head with the elbow on the follow through.

How is anyone a fan of Miami? I'm legitimately curious.

I know one guy who has been a Miami fan since forever. Outside of that, I know no one who hasn't become one in the last 5 years.

I felt like the Haslem foul should have been a 2. The Pitman foul will be a suspension, that was an obious pay back for Lance Stephenson's choke thing to Lebron.

Yeah, but the clear fact it was retaliation and made absolutely no attempt on the ball should be a clear flagrant 2. Unless you play for Miami lol

Edit, nvm i see you agree with me

But the clear retaliation of Haslem isn't a suspension?

Haslem should be sitting for game 6 and who the hell cares about Pittman.

I dont know a single Heat fan who has remained a fan. There were quite a few that were on the bandwagon back when they won the championship with Wade/Shaq. But until last year, nobody was a heat fan I knew lol

They're not. They're "LeBron fans."

The same ones who are supporting the Heat now, backed the Cavs while LeBron was playing here. It's the sign of weakness. You can't support a loser and jump from winning team to winning team because it's "cool" to support a winner.

I know a guy who was a Portland fan back when they had Sheed and that good ass team... Now he's a Heat "fan" and also "supports" the Knicks since they have Melo.

We don't take him seriously when discussing sports and get on him all the time.

I think Haslem will get a game suspension, he did go for the arms but it was malicious.

That choke sign is the most overblown thing ever. It did not warrant being elbowed in the throat/shoulder. No place for stupid shit like that.

I never said it warranted it, I said that is what initiated the retaliation.

The Haslem foul is disgraceful. He needs to get a game for that one.

The Hansborough foul shouldn't have been anything.

I thought you were implying that I thought that was the right thing to do because of the choke thing. I was only saying that is obviously why it happened.

I hate the NBA, but tune into watch Lebron play because he is the only one that excites me. Him and Kevin Durant basically. But maybe that is because I watched Lebron live in high school a few times. Was never a Cleveland sports fan, so I was happy to see him go somewhere with a few teammates, though would have been cool if he could have pulled off a ring in Cleveland.

So I suppose I am like many people who tune into golf just to watch Tiger Woods; I enjoy watching Lebron play because he does things that are just unreal.

I enjoy watching Lebron play too, but I hope he never gets his championship and I certainly would never root for the Heat.
