As a Mavs fan, it would seem that I would enjoy it when an announcer mocks Dwyane Wade. I guess I do, but only to a point, and these clips from the Atlanta Hawks radio broadcast are probably he worst examples of crass homerism that I have ever heard. They paint such a one-sided picture that anyone listening would get a completely inaccurate feel of the game. It's propaganda that would even make Rush Limbaugh jealous.
When this Hawks-Heat series started, I was listening to the Hawks radio feed of game 1 on the radio and texted to BMFS that this crew was going nuts about the refs favoring Wade. And they were doing it at the beginning of game one! They didn't even allow the series to unfold at all. Talk about artificially raising the ire of your fan base. What slimebags.*
*Last night, while watching the Nuggets continue to launch threes while having a 20-point lead over a Hornets team that had so clearly given up with 2 minutes left in the game, I asked "Is there a more classless team than the Nuggets?" BMFS replied, "Yes, the Hawks." No diggity. Man I hope Wade goes 2006 on their ass. Where's Bennett Salvatore when you need him?

Sorry to bump you, especially in light of the fabulous title.
Holy baby Jesus' mustard-colored diarrhea! This makes Paul SteigerNutz seem even-handed by comparison.
