Kings-Heat PBP for Feb. 26

[VF21]

Kings call time out. To say that Reggie Theus looks disgusted would be an understatement. I think the entire Kings team should count their blessings that Reggie is not the type of coach to rip them new ones on the court because if looks could kill we'd have at least 8 vacant roster positions.

Douby in for AJ.

Marion inside for two on nice pass by Wade...and the +1.

Good.

77-56 Heat

I'd like to mention the nice tattoos Jason Williams has. A couple of them look like work Wild Bill (in Roseville) might have done. Good detail.

And the lead continues to grow.

Did I ever tell you about the time I decided to get a tattoo? Would you believe I got my first tattoo from Wild Bill way back a very long time ago? His parents lived a few doors down from my parents...

And the score continues to grow.

I think tattoos are an interesting expression of personal taste AND group dynamic. I mean how many tribal tattoos have you seen on people who are no more tribal than Rick Adelman?

Did I mention the score lately? Probably not.

If you're looking for someone to do a tattoo for you, BTW, don't go by the ones the artist has as he/she didn't do them. Look for work that you like and ask who did it.

It used to be that tattoos were only for biker gangs and South Sea Islanders. Now, however, tattoos are gaining a certain amount of respectability. When I started work for the state back in the 60s I was asked to cover mine. And it's a dragonfly on my ankle!

Oh, yeah... In case you're wondering, the game is continuing if you can call it that.

89-61 Heat

The Kings blistered the court with an astounding 2 of 20 during the entire freaking third quarter. Salmons drives inside and is fouled with 1.0 seconds left. He manages to avoid missing the first shot and the second.

89-63 Heat

End of the third quarter.

Hawes with the throwdown.

Shelden Williams into the game for Salmons.

Haslem is at the line and makes both.

Wild Bill's Tattoos is, BTW, often frequented by Sacramento Kings.

That's Bobby Jackson, of course.

95-71 Heat

There was a time out but I kinda spaced out and didn't realize it. I should have, though, since it's the only time Miami hasn't scored.

 

[VF21]

The question was raised in another forum about the Heat and whether or not they're tanking. Well, if they are, they're being outtanked. This is about as abysmal an outing as I've seen.

If Pat Riley goes any deeper on his bench he'll be playing the photographers sitting on the floor.

Shelden gets one of two from the stripe.

98-79 Heat

At times like this playing the remainding 3;45 minutes is going to seem like an eternity for them...and those of us still watching.

I've got Big Brother coming on in about 15 minutes and I haven't had dinner so I'm going to just bow out at this point, unless of course you'd like more of a treatise on tattoos.

The game sucks, but this thread got pretty funny, VF.

I believe that picture of Bobby is the one where he had his mother's portrait tattooed on his chest. (It was after her death.) I will never forget the entire team taking a long bus ride on a road trip to attend Bobby's mom's funeral.

 

[Rockmeister]

Yes, I agree with kennadog. This thread did get funny. By the way, I'm seriously thinking about getting a tattoos of a dolphin on my ankle.
