Ben should just shut up with the excuse and play. Ben has this kind excuse since he left the pistons. in Game 2 Ben complain that he got dizzy. but he need know that the cav need him.


Wallace has an inner ear infection that caused the dizziness in game 2. The guy has a legitimate illness and should not play until he's able to help his team rather than get in the way. Why would you call it an "excuse", when the Cavs medical folks have diagnosed an actual illness?

BTW, Ben missed the shoot around this morning, is listed as doubtful, and his coach said most likely will not play tonight.


that nothing ,look jordan when he had the flu he still play . Ben need get his act together if he really want to win . also look at iverson he had a broken finger and he stiil play . Wallace still should play even thou he had an actual illness because he in the playoff.


What does Jordan playing with the flu or Iverson playing with a broken finger have to do Wallace having an inner ear infection? You can tape up a finger or take some thera-flu before a game and tough it out. Trying to play while disoriented is an entirely different animal.

Have you ever seen one of those dizzy bat races? Where they make you put your forehead on the top of a baseball bat, quickly spin the bat around ten times, then try and run? Imagine doing that, then trying to play basketball...at the highest level.

Wallace doesn't have an injury he can play through, or a cold he can get a shot for. It's not a matter of just "man up and play". He has a condition that currently makes it impossible for him to play at a level that is beneficial to his team. If attempting to play is detrimental to the team, and that appears to be the case currently, then he should not be out there. It's not in the teams best interest.


all i saying is he should said to to the coach that he want to play for 10 minute even thou he has illness.


"all i saying is he should said to to the coach that he want to play for 10 minute even thou he has illness."

I have no idea where you come up with the 10 minutes thing, he can either play or he can't. And right now, he can't.

He DID say that to the coach, in game 2. If you saw the game then I assume you saw the sideline interview with Mike Brown after the 1st QTR. Brown said Wallace told him he can play. The medical staff disagreed and wouldn't let him back in the game.

Yesterday they discovered what caused the dizziness and started treatment. As of this morning he was still too disoriented to even participate in a shoot around, let alone play in a game. Wallace has no business on the court in that condition where he can only HURT his teams chances of winning the game.

This isn't a case of a player not wanting to play, it's a case of a player with an illness that won't allow him to play at a playoff level intensity.

His dizziness is actually caused by his unperpendicular afro.
