Game Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: Miami Heat VS Indiana Pacers

[bksballer89]

That's like blowing up a bridge and saying ok, here's a car, if you can cross the river you win. Sure it is possible but realistic?

Foul trouble forces a player to change the way they play, the bridge is LBJs aggression, the car are his shoes, and the river is IND and the refs.

I agree about the aggression part which is why spo refused to put him on George until the final minute or 2 but we were right there but just couldn't get a stop when we needed. One thing I always say about refs is that they're not the one missing/making shots.

I do think it's funny though that ed Malloy was the one who called all the bogus calls on Lebron. That's a bad look for him. If all 3 called one bs foul on lebron it wouldn't look as bad but to have the 3 bad calls all come from one official doesn't look good for that ref

LMAO Gordon, thats my favorite one yet

Sad thing is Miami will likely see Malloy in the Finals during a game

Refs should be fined.

A guy made a great point, do you think the game would of been called the same way if it was Game 7??

Hell no!

Lebron would of had 2 fouls in the 3rd quarter, not 5.

and to anyone who looks at lebron's statline and says "he didn't play good anyway"

You can't take risks and be aggressive offensive and defensively when you are that close to fouling out. The foul problems clearly caused him to be tentative and EVEN with that, theh heat went on a big run once he came into the game. Also, that is why i have no problem with him passing to bosh for the win. he would've fouled out in the first 10 seconds of OT anyway. their best shot was to win it there.

And the Stephenson foul where they were chasing the ball. Lance grabbed him around the waist and shoved him, then Lebron kind of put his arms back after being pushed.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It remids me of.

Lance might as well go ahead and fill out a check to the NBA for $10k. 2nd time flopping offense in playoffs = $10k. (Then $15k, then $30k, then suspension).

Lebron said, "I blew in my wifes' ear before, that wasn't a defensive tactic."

That looks very deserving of a fine to me.

The Haslem stat vs the Pacers remains true once again. Just 7 minutes for UD last night.

What is it now... something like 9-0 when UD plays 18+ min, 1-8 when he plays less.

 

[avalon2423]

Does Spo not see the Haslem stat. id have him in just to test the theory

[gordontrue]

Wow the Hibbert flop is pretty funny, I didn't even it notice it during the game.

The Pacers are far and away the most fined team for flopping.

[Flauge]

seriously I've been wanting to blow in LeBron's ear for 3 years. Lance getting to do it seems unfair. #nohomo

 

[avalon2423]

I never saw the Hibbert flop. LOl what a bunch of clowns on that team. How does anyone give them the benefit of the calls?

 

[bksballer89]

Sad thing is 2 yrs ago before they played Miami, Vogel was bitching about miami flopping and now he has the team who hands down does the most flopping
