What a horrible panic move to get rid of Avery.

I dont really remember, but did Avery really do much better? He made it to the finals one year and then was ousted by Golden State in first round and then again in first round the following year. Hornets, Right?

Fair. But if not for Wade and the refs going off, Avery would have gotten them a chip.

The Warriors went nuts. That was a bad choke job, but the Hornets were better than the Mavs in '08.

Whats Carlisle done with this team?

same as Avery did in his last 2 years, lose in first round.

I seem to recall that they were jobbed by the refs in the finals when they lost. Breathe near Wade and a foul was called.

The calls were almost hilarious.

We call Wade, D-Whistle now.

you know what? it's really not true. i know no one would want to spend the time to re-watch the series, but there were 2 such calls in the entire series. you watch any finals series with jordan, kobe, etc. and i doubt you wouldn't find at least 2 similar kinds of calls for dynamic ball-dominating physical guards who take it into the teeth of the other team's defense.

cant really tell but are you a dwade fan at all?
