Hooped Up

Remember when Udonis Haslem wanted his nickname to be Django? Well, if he keeps it going with putback bounty killer dunks like this one, I don’t see that being a problem.

Yup. You guessed it and it happened. Today the league supended Udonis Haslem for his flagrant foul against Tyler Hansbrough during the second quarter of Game 5. For his troubles, Haslem will not play in Game 6 of the Miami-Indiana series.

Haslem was seeking payback for a hard foul Hansbrough hit Dwyane Wade with that cut D.Wade over his right eye. Both Haslem and Hansbrough were assessed flagrant-1 fouls but, Hansbrough’s flagrant was upgraded Wednesday to a flagrant-2, but he is still eligible to play in Game 6.

Dexter Pittman was suspended three games for his flagrant foul against Lance Stephenson late in Game 5. Game 7 anyone???
