Matthew Dellavedova

[The Human Q-Tip]

I think he has proved he is good enough athletically. He is a little slow, but his size is great, He knows how to use it.

He's a great team defender because he can be switched on to bigger guys without getting abused. He fronts them so aggressively it often throws them off.

LeBron's breakdown of the altercation is amazing, I urge anyone to watch the post presser once it's uploaded. You can tell how much he loves having Delly on the team.

 

[Real Deal]

What did Bron say and where?

-He's the toughest guy on team.

-He got kicked in the ass after getting elbowed in the neck but before all that getting pushed in the lane a few trips before the incident happened.

-Messing with Delly? Like really?

-Delly doesn't bother himself so how is he going to bother you?

And I probably missed something else. It was good.

 

[Cavatt]

I haven't seen a player break something down so frankly. Really great by Lebron tonight with the description of the "THE ALTERCATION"

 

[The Red Viper]

We are DELLYLAND CAVALIERS!

 

[Ohio]

Bulls have attacked Delly all series. I don't get it, honestly.

Just want to again point out my avatar, which features the autograph I got from Delly on the plane ride we shared on his way for training camp his rookie year.

I knew that Aussie bastard had it in him all along.

The best part of the night aside from the win was watching Lebron and Miller view the replay on the big screen and die laughing as Delly scissor locks Gibson.

Right, that was hilarious. I laughed almost as hard as they did.

Not necessarily aimed at your comment, but I hope everyone on this board drops this "leg lock" bullshit, there was no "lock", more like an attempted scissor grip, a lock is when you have leverage over your opponent and can put your weight into the hold. Delly was laying down on his stomach with no leverage, pissed at getting shoved to the ground and probably just trying to protect himself.

Let's try not to let the lying media make us carry their water for them and frame this as a "leg lock", ask any wrestler on this board, there was no "lock".

 

[Kouki]

And regarding the play, he did deserve a technical for the lock. But Gibson clearly had to be sent off and he should be suspended.

The fact that referees missed Delly's technical can not be a reason for Gibson not getting suspended. If he NBA is serious this is at least 1 games suspension.

But I bet he won't be.

no way that is worthy of a technical foul. stuff like that happens every single time down the court and fouls aren't even called half the time. maybe not locking legs but is it all that different than locking arms?

if delly gets a technical for that that noah should have gotten around 50 technicals this series for locking up TT

 

[Huber.]

Leg lock

 

[Jack Brickman]

Tonight, Delly was the hero we needed, not the one we deserved.

 

[gaitano]

Leg lock

Sorry to hear that, I hope it gets better.

 

[godfather]

Bulls have attacked Delly all series. I don't get it, honestly.

You don't mess with this beast. He beat the shit out of Kobe before.

 

[Damien O'Connel]

I think Lebron is a lot closer with these guys than he was with his Heat teammates.

His relationship with Wade always seemed a bit strained even. The way he interacts with Kyrie is awesome.

And he clearly loves Delly. Everyone does. He's like that kid in high school who wasn't really exceptional in any area, kinda quiet, but got along with everyone and was always the most fun to get drunk with at a party.

 

[Helium filament]

Easy way to differentiate Delly from Olynynk. ..

Rodman and Malone had a famous foot tangle up in the playoffs, a few fouls were thrown around. They are both in the Hall of Fame. Nobody thinks of them as anything less than competitive.

Olynynk tore Love's arm out of his socket. He is also a gigantic ass pussy. Delly annoyed Gibson, but the leg lock couldn't have caused major injury. And his butthole is for pooping rather than the sexual pleasure of other men.

Hope this explanation helps.
