Awesome game.

Why won't Heat go after him? Run him through screens? Post him up?

i was thinking of this too, they did not take advantage of his injury on both ends of the floor. He was definitely favoring that hand

After dislocating his elbow and having it popped back into place in the locker room, Ronda came back in an played with his left arm hanging at his side. He used it once to make a steal, then finished with a righty slam.

I think Miami gave up when they were down by 15 points and trading baskets. James was useless. So was Bosh. At one point, they were outscored by 20 points from the start of the 2nd half.

If Miami was in the game, they probably would have gone after Rondo. They're still up in the series, now 2-1. I want to see Miami lose, to discourage collusion among NBA players.

I have had shoulder popped back a couple of times; horrible pain followed by temporary heaviness/paralysis to the hand. I cant even imagine the pain from that elbow dislocation. i give him major props for being able to come back at all.

I would love for the Heat to lose this series, and the inevitable internal implosion from the lost. i am sure Bosh will be the first to bounce.
Problem is until game 3, the Celtics has been playing like crap. I still say the Heat win the series while silently hoping for a pleasant surprise.

$3,000,000 or a cheap rookie with talent and potential.

Easy choise huh.

Yeah, every time I see the words Rondo, Iggy, Kurt Thomas... I throw up a little in my mouth.

I think the selling of the draft picks is the Sarver era practice that is hardest to accept. You're basically saying I have no confidence in my ability to select a guy that will develop into a quality player. Its also unbelievably short sighted for an owner that is a BANKER?!?!

The best thing is that playing the Suns on NBA2k11 they remind you at least once every game that the Suns traded away draft picks that turned into Rajon Rondo, Luol Deng, Rudy Fernandez, Nate Robinson... (Serge Ibaka)...

You could make a mediocre team just of the players we sold.

Come on, lets give credit where its due - a head coach who proclaimed he was not in the business of developing rookies. (Not that he developed non-rookies either.)
