Also gotta love Brooklyn is trying to seduce Lionel Hollins while he is in the middle of a playoff series. Brooklyn trying snag him while hes trying to get to the finals. <3Brooklyn
Don't worry, he'll see the free throw line at least ten times in the next game. He has been throwing elbows and shoulder since the whistle first blew on Sunday. How many fouls does he have?
Haven't seen any mentions of Tony Allen. Guy gets his arm grabbed going top shelf, Manu lets go quickly and the guy executes a perfect landing and acts like his brain is leaking out of his ears. That is the absolute worst case of flopping that I have ever seen, even counting the numerous obvious Heat flops. Anyone have an opinion?
Obvious flop but the fact that Ginobili not only grabbed his arm, but hung on to drag him to the ground (he didn't really let go quickly), could be what the refs called as flagrant no one will argue he didn't flop, but the refs did review the replay, so I don't think they were calling it based on his reaction.
You are wrong. The flagrant foul was reviewed for several minutes. The game was stopped. They review every flagrant this year's playoffs. Then they came back and said flagrant 1, Allen took 2 shots, and the Grizzlies inbounded. Duncan's comments: https://twitter.com/blazersedge/status/337065690806755328
Didn;t get a chance to watch either SA/MEM game. Finally getting to watch some conference finals basketball. Uh Lebron hitting long 2s is not good for IND. Also David West tried to so much to beat Melo in the paint, he rarely took those midrange 2s and became a less efficient offensive player because of it. Funny how Melo guarding him changed his offensive approach so much that he actually struggled
So maybe I'm not used to Miami being called for fouls/violations like every other team or maybe I'm still bitter about IND, but these refs seem to be favoring IND in MIA against MIA. Crazy
Show me proof other than Tim Duncan's semi-related comments. I saw the foul, I saw Pop arguing with refs, and I saw Tony Allen taking shots. Maybe I was a little in the tank, but I'm pretty sure that I didn't sit there for a lengthy review. Edit: ah fuck it. Apparently you're right and they did review it. Maybe I was more in the tank than I thought. But you also may be exaggerating about the length of the review. You win.
The announcers seem to be missing obvious stuff. The game is being played the Pacers style because Lebron and Bosh were on the bench, so they can't play their usually unit. Also, Norris Cole and Mario Chalmers believe they are the best players on the court and more and more it's becoming a positive trait for Miami they think that
Duncan's comments weren't proof. The proof was watching the game. But even if you didn't watch it, it is a fact that every flagrant gets reviewed. Every one. I was not exaggerating about the length of the review. It was several minutes long. The reviews are almost always at least 2 minutes. This one was 3+. Hell, it took Allen like a minute just to get up after laying there grabbing his head. LeBron at the line, Marv says Wade shooting the free throw. Then he starts talking about how Allen is helping Wade with his free throws. A)This obviously was all about LeBron. B)I didn't need to hear that for the 30th time this playoffs. Every Miami game on TNT they talk about it.
Lebron might guard David West late if this keeps on happening. Battier, Birdman, Bosh look lost doing it.
