Curious if you'd be as nonchalant about this issue if he used derogatory words typically used against Hispanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmmmmbeeer Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Miami's defense has just been unreal these last 2 games...I know they had a good defense throughout the regular season but, good lord, they're just everywhere. Rose seems to be catching flack nationally for this performance but wtf is he supposed to do with the way that Miami is defending him? Â I wish I could look at the first 3 games and that there were some easy answer. There are answers like getting Watson and Rose on the floor at the same time so that Rose can create off the ball, dump the pick and roll to prevent easy double teams on Rose, etc...but none of them guarantees you anything as they're experimental. I do firmly believe that the spacing between games has played greatly to Miami's advantage which, to me, makes the series swing a bit in the Bulls favor if they can take game 4 on Tue....eventually Wade, Lebron, and Bosh will get tired playing the minutes they're playing.

I don't know the exact rule for that but if anything the ref is usually in play so you'd think that just be a turnover on Miami anyways.  Oh well, certainly didn't effect the outcome of the game.

Soxbadger Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 If its in play the ref is definitely part of the court, since it was out of play I think the ref just made up a "do over" call. I dont know the rule, but what would make sense is that the ref is either part of the court (and therefore its a play on) or if the ref is out of bounds, hes considered out of bounds and therefore its the Bulls ball. Â But I dont know the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 QUOTE (Palehosefan @ May 23, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) Athletes just can't be interacting with the fans in a negative manner. Everyone and their mom's have smartphones, somebody is going to catch the athlete's interaction with the fan. Dealing with idiots in the stands is just part of the job description for most athletes. People pay to see you play and will bring their idiotic comments with them. Â My issue with the situation is that the NBA seemingly was only upset because of a word Noah used, not his interaction with a fan. Sooner or later the NBA is going to have to pass out a cheat sheet of acceptable trash talk. The NBA has damn commercials out saying that it's not ok to say "gay" in the wrong context and been campaigning against it for a while, it's not like he was expected to take some huge leap of logic in the heat of the moment. This isn't rocket science. Joakim Noah isn't too bright. Cry me a river, and wipe the tears with $100 bills (he makes like 14 million a year).
