Matthew Dellavedova

[enigmatic]

Fuck Reggie Miller any every other media hack trying to turn Delly into some kind of cross between Keyzer Soze and Hannibal Lector. You said zip when Olynyk ripped Love's arm from his socket but now want to demonize Delly for falling back into Horford and Horford doing a People's Elbow into Delly's neck? Really?

 

[enigmatic]

Rick Mahorn was the dirtiest player in the game when he was playing, and only Lambier was even close.

The over the top criticism of Delly by Reggie Miller and a few others is simply because Delly is white.

Reggie Miller went on to say other (besides Delly) dirty NBA players includes Bill Laimbeer and "sometimes" Rick Mahorn. You can see his mind set.

Disgusts me that people are calling Delly a dirty player...especially when using this incident as a support for that fantasy.

Horford drags Delly to the ground and body slams him, and some how Delly is dirty? I don't even...

It's hysterical that he even got a tech.

This feeds right into their anti-Cleveland agenda though. They'll be jizzing themselves over this nonstory for the next 24+ hours.

I agree with EJ, the only "incident" in these playoffs that he was involved in where he did ANY wrong was when he leg locked Taj. The only "incident" involving him that deserved a call on him. And that's why the NBA assessed a tech to him the next day.

Watching NBA TV post-game and they're still discussing the Delly VS Horford situation. They're referring to Delly being involved in a number of "skirmishes" in the Playoffs thus far, explicitly making reference to the Korver injury.

Did I miss the memo? When did a hustle play and two players scrapping for possession resulting in accidental injury become a "skirmish"? Does that now mean that any time two players go for the ball and one comes out wounded, that's a "dirty" play?

Yes, Havent you heard the modern NBA is full of pussies.

I don't say this stuff much, but I have lost respect for Hortford. Delly hustles. Sure he is annoying, but hustle players are annoying.

We really need LeBron to come out and push against all this bullshit. I don't know if he'll do it tonight because he probably doesn't know about the media created narrative that Delly is dirty, but at some point he needs to call bullshit on all these fuckers.

 

[Taiter]

Are these jokers in the media really pushing Delly as a dirty player? Seriously? Has one person insinuated that all year until the playoffs? Another bogus narrative. The Hawks were behind both incidents they are whining about.

 

[Mickorat]

Horford says that Delly needs to understand that its a brotherhood out there. Dr Mick prescribes Horford, the brotherhood and all the other soft critics taking cheap shots take a teaspoon of cement and harden the fuck up!!

All he needs to say is: "I watched the play. Horford dragged Delly to the ground then body slammed him. This isn't even worthy of discussion. Next question."

 

[CLEZenith]

I don't know if this is Delly clamping his neck on Horfords arm to injury him, or Horford teaching Delly about being in the "brotherhood."

 

[Kevin Ollie]

When are we going to get all the questions about "is Al Horford a dirty player?" Because watching that replay I see one guy dropping his elbow on a defenseless player, and it ain't Delly.

 

[CanadaEh]

Horford very clearly the blatantly held and pulled down Delly with his momentum. For him to have the audacity to bitch and moan and say "This is a brotherhood, he has to learn" after he almost ended TJ Ford's career is fucking bewildering. What a fuckboi, I hope he gets suspended for next game for 1) that elbow drop and 2) for being the ultimate pussy.

 

[World B ThAreee]

The Gibson play was the only thing he's done wrong and that was after suffering uncalled flagrants from Gibson on two straight possessions. This is bullshit.

 

[Mr. Orange]

I really don't care if the media thinks this is dirty. Give me my silver basketball trophy on Tuesday, and my gold one in June.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Just gotta say this team is complete. We now have that " one who everyone hates to the bones but would love to have him on the team" guy.

Delly is a shorter, whiter Dennis Rodman. I likes.

 

[Ohio]

Delly should sue the media for defamation of character.
