LeBron will go the fuck off in the Finals. Spurs have no one that can check him, or even slow him down like Paul George did.

No way they couldn't. Still surprising to see them actually be consistent

If they were consistent he would have been ejected.

Pyscho T fucked up, he should have sold it ala LeBron and flew backwards 10 feet.

Hard to sell it when you don't even see it coming.

I'm talking about the shove, they were face to face....not the initial cheap shot from Andersen.

No.

Birdman blindsides Hansborough. He steps to Birdman. Birdman shoves him. THAT shove.

I still don't under stand why people think LeBron flopped on that dead ball shove in the Chicago series. I'm all for calling out LeBron when he does flop (I did so during that ridiculous double flop between LeBron and West). But that was not a flop, after he got called for the T or whatever he was doing his usual astonished/shocked routine for the ref and not even paying attention when Nazr gave him a full strength shove to the chest. It's not like it was little Nate Robinson either. Nazr is a big guy.

LeBron got T'd. Then he did his what me routine and was looking to his side and barely turned his head back for a split second before he got a full forced shove to his chest. Under those circumstances anyone will go back. He didn't know it was coming so no time to either brace himself so as not to fall down nor to plan for the flop.

And yes, Andersen deserved to be ejected last night and because he wasn't, sitting out game 6 is the right thing. I feel like that might just fuel up LeBron for game 6.

You said Lebron sold it, I said it's hard to sell it when you don't even see the shove coming.

I don't think LeBron flopped, just embellished. There's a difference.

I meant the league office being consistent. I figured they might look other way because it's the heat

I don't buy "the fix is in" in regards to the Heat. NBA officiating is just shitty overall.

That wasn't a flop, the one with him and West sure. A grown ass man who is 260 plus pounds blindsides you at full force you are going down like that, no question. A spade is a spade.

Absolutely it has been bad overall. The way the games have been officiated actually helps the Pacers, keeps the tempo to bare minimum and disallows Miami from getting in any rhythm. It uglies the game up and that's what they want.

I didn't say it was a flop, I said he sold it. He fell back purposely to get Nazr ejected/T'd up.

If you can't see that, you're the most biased person in the world.

Oh and I don't think the NBA is "fixed" to make sure the Heat win. The officiating is just bad, and with bad officiating the team with the most stars is probably going to benefit the most.

I would agree with this if LeBron saw it coming... but he didn't. He was busy doing his shocked routine for the ref and wasn't even looking at Nazr till a split second before Nazr's hands were already full force shoving him.

That Nazr/LeBron incident just wasn't a flop.

Edit: corrected typos.

I guess I don't understand how he sold it at the end like you say. He was already half way to the ground by the time he realized what even happened and with the force he went to the ground. He didn't grab his head like Tony Allen did and fake it so I don't see a sell job, I see a guy who was caught off guard and off balance by a huge, strong man.

Of course you do.

I'm not arguing with you about Lebron James though. It's a losing battle. You're insufferable when it comes to LBJ.

Nice cop out. I admitted that the West play was a flop, the Nazr play however was not a sell job, pretty plain to see imo.
