Was Michael Biamonte's Comment About Amar'e Necessary? By Deron Butler

If you were in attendance for last night's Game 5 between the Heat and the Knicks, then you may have heard the Heat's excitable PA Announcer, Michael Biamonte's witty comment about Amar'e Stoudemire fouling out of the game in which Biamonte said "Stoudemire has been extinguished from the game", going back to the post Game 2 incident in which an exasperated Stoudemire took his frustrations out by punching a glass case concealing a fire extinguisher with his non shooting hand. To Heat fans, the joke was deemed as light hearted humor but to Knicks fans and several basketball bloggers and everyone else around the basketball world, no one was laughing along with Miami. The joke itself caused a ruckus amongst fans saying that the joke itself was "distasteful" and "a slap in the face" to Knicks fans. Sports blog Deadspin.com commented on the pundit saying that "The Heat are surely winning friends the right way", which may be a sarcastic insult to the Heat for Biamonte's choice of words. Though it may be a joke for Heat fans, no one (not even Knicks fans) are not laughing. Imagine if the Heat were in MSG struggling to win and, for example, Chris Bosh starts crying again. The Knicks PA Announcer would probably say something like "Bosh is crying because the Heat are extinct" or something that like. For Homework, I want all Heat fans to find some other form of humor not relating to anything about the Knicks, they've suffered enough as it is and it's time we move on to face Indiana. I'm Deron Butler telling you that it's all fun and games until someone's feelings are the subject of matter.
