Maybe the writers are talking a little too much on press row

By Dan Feldman • 10:09 am • January 19, 2010

Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press:

You don’t expect Hakeem Olajuwon impersonations from Ben Wallace.

But that’s what you got midway through the third quarter Monday when Wallace nailed a turnaround, fade-away jumper along the left baseline over a Knicks defender.

Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News:

Late in the third quarter, with the Pistons on an 8-0 run that gave them the lead, Wallace was calling for the ball on the low block. With a defender on his back, Wallace made a strong move, stepped back and arched a beautiful jumper that gave the Pistons a 68-64 lead.

Someone remarked about how that particular play looked like something from Hakeem Olajuwon’s heyday.

How long can the Pacers let Hibbert sit? When he returns, Heat might go big again, which I think plays to Indiana's hand. -> 2012/05/15
@erivera7 Jonas Jerebko would be struggling, too. -> 2012/05/15
Heat's small lineup + Hibbert resting has been huge for Miami. Not sure which is bigger, but I'm guessing will find out soon enough. -> 2012/05/15
Judging quality of officiating by how many fouls are called on each team is misguided. -> 2012/05/15
West is doing a good job of turning defensive rebounds into semi-fastbreak possibilities. Pacers just aren't capitalizing. -> 2012/05/15

@JMcNult56 I'm surprised, but it was absolutely the right call. -> 2012/05/15
@JMcNult56 I think Bird making the final shot was more likely than what actually happened. Never thought that call would be made there. -> 2012/05/15
Rondo's foul was the right move at that point. Fouling right away would have been much better. -> 2012/05/15
@JMcNult56 Crazier things have happened in Boston #leprechaunsguardingthebasket -> 2012/05/15
