What sort of message was John Wall trying to send to Spencer Dinwiddie with his dangerous foul with under a minute to play? I cut the video off before the Nets commentator (Richard Jefferson!) offered his take, because I have some ideas of my own. Which is one right? We may never know, but we can speculate, which is what I do best.
-“I am a butthurt manchild”
-“When the game is outside of 10 points at any point in the fourth quarter, I want people to stop trying, and that includes you”
-“Your beard is ugly”
-“My team is imploding and I don’t know what to do”
-“I’m getting paid 40 million next season so any fine levied against me means nothing”
Luckily for the Nets (who really don’t need another one of their darlings injured), it looked like Dinwiddie could still walk after landing hard on his ass, even if he missed both flagrant free throws.
