Heat-Mavs 2011 NBA Finals

i think the rule for giving guys t's for being too emotional or whining is a bad rule. i hate seeing players complain on every call but at the same time some of these refs blow the whistle if a player just looks at them funny. just play on.

but, definitely the flops are out of control. these players must be watching too many vlade highlights - dude must wish he was back in the league.

The biggest flopping doesn't occur on drives to the hoop, imo.

It's when guys hedge on screens and the offensive player will dribble right into the defender and jump back like they got shot.

It's all over the NBA. It's showing itself in college. It sucks.

Considering the worst transgressor of teaching the flop is Coach K, who now coaches our U.S. team for international competition, it probably isn't going to get better any time soon.

That's probly where Lebron learned how to flop so well

That kind of crap is what really pisses me off, and I honestly think they should start calling those offensive fouls to try and curb it (I doubt not calling them will slow them down much). Same thing goes for jumping into the defender on a shot with the shoulder when the defender is in position (moving included) and the offensive player is basically bunched up leading with the shoulder.

This crap is absolutely ridiculous and needs to be stopped.

Must win for the Mavs tonight as I don't see them winning two straight in Miami, but they could win one. :popcorn:

 

[scarletmike]

Yeah, they need to think of this as a best of 3. Make the Heat win both at home.

LeBron is going off tonight.

Mavs are in trouble.

What was that?

But damn, this is sloppy so far.

Just wait.

Actually, to be honest I'm not even watching the game. I'll tune it later.

Almost the end of 1st Quarter, LeBron has 2 points. He's on pace to tie his 8 from Game 4, way to step up so far

 

[scarletmike]

Damn, that could have easily been called intentional.

 

[scarletmike]

Wade might be out the rest of the game with a contusion. Sucks for the Heat, but could be a good thing for bitchmade if he shows up solidly tonight.

EDIT: well...I guess he's determined to get back into the game. Not that I care about him at all, but I can't think that's too good for him if they statused him as questionable.

Without Wade, I really don't think the Heat are much better than the Cavs were when LeBron was there. Will be interesting to see how Robin(LeBron) and Batwoman(Bosh) can do if Batman(Wade) doesn't return.
