I remember seeing him on the ground, but they never showed a replay. That's hilarious. Wonder if he'll get fined.

that was one of the rare "double flops". Very difficult to judge who was the better flopper.

The Heat have perfected the art of flopping, and if it can give you an advantage and there are no real repercussions, of course they're gonna do it. It's just funny that a team that boasted about winning "not five. not six. not seven..." titles together has to resort to that...

I skoff at the notion they won the title last year based on flopping, and not having the best player on the planet.

it's not really a guess. the team that wins game 5 of a 2-2 series wins the series over 85% of the time. hardly a limb there.

MIAMI -- The NBA handed down a flurry of discipline for flopping and flagrant fouls from Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, including a $5,000 fine to LeBron James.
Both James and David West were fined $5,000 for flopping on the same play from the fourth quarter of the Indiana Pacers' win over the Miami Heat on Tuesday. West was fighting for position on the play, and both recoiled when there was contact in the lane.
"We accept it," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday morning. "We don't want the attention and the focus to be on the officiating. We want it to be on the competition, which is a great series. Our focus is taking business at home (in Game 5)."
Earlier this week, James said there was a strategic advantage to flopping.
"Some guys have been doing it for years, just trying to get an advantage," James said Monday. "Any way you can get an advantage over the opponent to help your team win, so be it."
It furthered a tough night for James, who was called for six fouls plus a technical. The league also handed down a $5,000 fine for flopping to the Pacers' Lance Stephenson for exaggerating contact against Ray Allen in the first quarter of Game 4.

Skoff away. I'm not talking about last year. Last year, LeBald finally realized what he had to do to win, and he did it. This year, he seems to have forgotten that during the postseason. He almost seems tentative again at times. So, the flopping has come into play. In fairness, he's not nearly as big a culprit as what's left of Diane Wade. Wade's physical skills are deteriorating rapidly, so he has to throw himself on the ground at the slightest hint of contact. It's comical to watch.WolverineMike;2342225; said:
All things (officiating) equal, I think Indiana wins this series. I doubt the nba will allow that. Darth Stern has zero interest in a "boring" San Antonio-Indiana finals. Yes, the officiating has been horrific both ways at times, but overall, it still seems to be siding with cryami.
I'm really intrigued to see what LeBald does next year. He's gotta realize that their shelf life in miami is much shorter than he thought. I'll be shocked if he doesn't bolt to a better opportunity, leaving Diane and RuPaulasaurus in the dust.
