He should be embarrassed.

Like it's not going to be shown on national TV a ton of times?

They need to make the punishment much more substantial.
Not only does a flop foul call help the flopper, it often puts the innocent opponent on the bench because of foul trouble.

James said he wasn't trying to sell a call

 

[bksballer89]

The bad thing about Lebron flopping is he's so bad at it. I feel like I'm watching the WWF with his flopping

Riiiiiiiight

This.

It's like those fagbird soccer players.

It's a sad state of affairs when one's dignity has become an acceptable cost for winning.

Accordingto Windhorst there's a good chance JV returns tomorrow

If you really think about it, he got a lot of rebounds because they have nobody else to rebound on that team...If they had a big man his rebounds get cut in half, and he score 2-3 ppg...i am sure someone will max him tho

I'm not saying this guy is the new Dennis Rodman.

He's never gonna be a scorer either.

But, he has produced this year when given the chance.

Last night's game was not a 1 off....


Biyombo started in 18 straight games between mid-November and late December while Jonas Valančiūnas was recovering from a fractured hand. On December 17, he recorded 8 points, a then career-high 18 rebounds and a career-high tying 7 blocks in a loss to the Charlotte Hornets.[13] Five days later, he recorded 9 points and a then career-high 20 rebounds in a 103–99 win over the Dallas Mavericks.[14] Biyombo returned to a bench role on December 30.[15] He returned to the starting line-up in mid-March with Valančiūnas out injured again. On March 17, 2016, Biyombo scored a career-high 16 points and set a franchise record with 25 rebounds in guiding the Raptors to a 101–94 overtime win over the Indiana Pacers.[16] On March 30, he recorded seven points and six rebounds in a 105–97 win over the Atlanta Hawks, helping the Raptors record a 50-win season for the first time in franchise history.[17]

The Raptors finished the regular season as the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 56–26 record. In the first round of the playoffs, the Raptors faced the seventh-seeded Indiana Pacers, and in a Game 5 win on April 26, Biyombo recorded 10 points and 16 rebounds off the bench to help the Raptors take a 3–2 series lead.[18] The Raptors went on to win the series 4–3, moving on to the second round where they faced the Miami Heat. In Game 7 of the Raptors' series with the Heat, Biyombo recorded 17 points and 16 rebounds as a starter in a 116–89 win, helping the Raptors advance to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history.[

“Biyombo has got to slow down," said one Cavs player, referring to the big man's antics. "It's good for TV, but it's not going to be good for them."

what are you talking about?

the next time Delly does something for the cameras will be his first.

“He plays hard. He’s a player that plays hard. He’s a competitor, we’re out there competing, but he has to learn at the end of the day, it’s a big brotherhood here. Guys look out for each other. I don’t think it was malicious, but he’s got to learn,” Horford said of Dellavedova after the game.

The next time Biyombo puts a player on a stretcher will be the first.

It's cool for Lebron, Smith to flex and mug...Delly to hustle and injure guys..

But, Biyombo can't waive his finger when he whores Tristan on the boards?

Really?

Jim Harbaugh invented basketball. Shit...wrong thread!

Hey Wiggy...

does Cleveland still smell funny?

hey he can do whatever he wants to do. but their will be repercussions. I would think you wouldnt want to poke the bear....

Doesnt change the fact hes going home- and will probably not even be a Raptor next year.

you cant pay both biyombo and valunciunas- 2 guys who cant shoot- all though- considering JV is on a very very reasonable contract - maybe it is possible unless someone really overspends- with 17 teams with max cap space and 2 teams wit enough room for TWO maxes...hmmm...

and maybe thats what i missed- even with JV, you cant really use both him and biyombo together...especially against the CAvs....

 

[Wamu]

The only way the Raptors win game 4 is if the Cavs are deported.





I'm also stoned right now so I'm not sure I believe what I just said. I need some iced tea.

Agree

He won't be there next Season.

We all know they aren't beating the Cavs.

But, this kid didn't even get his rookie deal extended, lost his playing time with the bees to Jason Maxiel for God's sake and plays in Toronto.

How much exposure do you think he gets?

This is a contract year and his chance to cash in...

Let the guy have his moment..
