As far as Granger, he got a technical because the play had NOTHING to do with him. And he stuck his nose where it did not belong. He did not go over there to calm things down, he went to instigate and agitate.
And in the end, it was nothing but "home town bravado" because as Lebron was torching him for 40...you did not hear a peep.
Reality is, the Pacers punched Miami in the mouth and they didn't think the Heat would punch back.
G5: PACERS @ HEAT: INDIANA CAUSE OF RANCOR IN SERIES: Remember who "started it," in the parlance of the playground. Pacers coach Frank Vogel did pre-series by calling the Heat the league's worst "floppers," incurring a fine from the NBA. It is the fake-macho professional punk Danny Granger with a technical foul in three straight games for getting in the face of LeBron James (twice) and Dwyane Wade. It was Pacers nobody Lance Stephenson who directed a choke sign at James. It was the elbow of Pacer Lou Amundson that caused nine stitches on Udonis Haslem's forehead. The bravado has failed in a 2-2 series, with Miami maintaining home-court advantage and having two of three (if needed) left at home -- starting tonight. If anything the strategy has only angered and riled the Heat. "Whatever he's trying is not working," said James, of Granger. "It's stupid." Said Wade: "Is he out here to play basketball or out here to be a tough guy?" Meantime James -- with 40 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists in the Game 4 win up there -- became only the second-man in NBA history with those numbers in the postseason. Elgin Baylor did it in a game in 1961. Tonight the Heat try to build on Sunday's momentum. Big games by James and Wade can be expected. The big question as always (in Chris Bosh' continued absence) is who'll be behind door No. 3? Sunday it was Haslem with 14 points including eight in the fourth quarter after that flying elbow to his eyebrow. Any volunteers for tonight?

Prediction: Haslem suspended for next game. Pittman suspended for the begining of next season for approx. 10 games and fined heavily for this season/post season.

I love how some media and NON-Heat fans are so fickle. 1st they complain that the Heat are too soft and there is no toughness. Indiana coach starts talking crap BEFORE the Heat-Pacers series EVEN started:
"....the Heat are the biggest floppers in the league" ... HC Vogel
"...We built this this team the right way, we didn't need to added superstars..." Hibbard
And NOW that the Heat has punched back, figuratively and literally, NOW they are saying that Miami is dirty and whinny. LMAO!!!
There's a runaway momentum to the Heat – a sense they've been tested and figured themselves out. They've come together at a time when they could have fallen apart. Doubters who say the team is a bunch of frontrunners who fold at the slightest adversity now have something else to consider. Whether the Heat can win a title is a question for another week. Whether they can get bruised and emerge unbowed has been answered. Now the Pacers have to answer the same question, both for themselves and for their legendary president.
...They weren't named "Bump and Thump" for nothing...
McFilthy and McNasty were already taken.
I preferred Mahorn's Matador move on Kevin McHale to any of his more brutish fouls.
