J.A. Adande is an idiot.
Proof, happening now in a live Chat:
Tom (Chicago): Stacey King has been talking a lot about how much trash talking Kevin Garnett is doing from the bench. I love the passion, don't get me wrong...but should KG be taunting the Bulls bench at nearly every time out? Shouldn't he realize he is wearing a suit?
J.A. Adande: That's part of this series. At this point could you imagine these games without KG cursing up a storm and mean-mugging on the bench?
And even worse:
Adam, Chicago, IL: I'm sure this will be a common question - but how can Robert Horry get suspended for the fowl on Nash a few years ago, and Rondo get away with not one, but TWO flagrants in two games and not get suspended? If the league decides they want the series to be "exciting" and not lose ratings, don't they set a pretty low standard for rule enforcement?
J.A. Adande: Rondo threw Hinrich away, not down, which I think makes a difference. If it's in the middle of the court it wouldn't have looked so bad. But they were near the sidelines so Hinrich hit the table...just not as dramatically as Nash did. I think the way things look has a huge impact on the way things are judged...
J.A. Adande: watching the Miller play at the end of game 5 again yesterday I was thinking, if that was LeBron his head probably doesn't even move, it's an and-one, and we don't have as much to talk about
almost 3 years ago
smash!

Rather: Brad Miller's head =/= LeBron's head
Is Adande saying LeBron’s head is stronger? The obvious rejoinder is that if LeBron were smacked in the face and made to bleed at the end of a game, whoever hit him would certainly have been ejected (and perhaps never seen again).

Actually, Rondo never would have touched LeBron.
The only reason this play happened is because Miller is so slow. LeBron has already dunked and made it to half court by the time Rondo or Perkins are able to close.
heh, exactly
so today we learned that not only does Lebron have a stronger head than Brad Miller, but if you throw Kirk away, rather than down, it looks so much better.
Top notch!

even if it's on lebron
it’s a flagrant. hell, all the more reason! who would DARE to hit dear king james in the face????
a flagrant is a flagrant, no matter who it’s done to, or who does it. what a fucking moron.
"They should. They better. I'm Vinny Del Negro!"
Yeah, I'm really surprised
at the moronic quality of those answers.
Whenever I read or heard him in the past, I never heard that quality.
Outside pressure, perhaps, or just plain CYA-ishness?
The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing.

If that's Lebron James
it’s a monster dunk and 1. Your are an idiot JA.
12/31: Fire Vinny Del Negro.
lebron's head would have been about 2 feet higher
hmm… too bad we didn’t have anyone like that sitting on the bench or anything..
So I guess it's OK to hit people in the head if they're not as strong as Lebron

Slight redemption
Some one later linked to our favorite elbox picture, and JA basically agreed:
But when you see the elbow raised like that, it’s hard to differentiate that from what Dwight Howard did

Nice catch. I closed the chat window long before he got there. But glad to see a photo can change his mind that seemed so surely made up.
Awesome journalism JA! Great research “ESPN Sr. Writer”! Top notch shit.
That was me

wtf?
Rondo threw Hinrich away, not down, which I think makes a difference.
……………………………………………………………………….huh?

In one of those Q&A articles on ESPN.com
JA Adande actually said the Noah dunk wasn’t that great because he’s not a superstar, so people won’t remember it. The guy has already cemented Must Avoid status on ESPN.
That Steve Nash is exactly the same as Kirk Hinrich, but worse.
