    Whether LeBron flopped or not you can't just go around pushing people for no reason. I don't get why Nazr was so mad.

    Of course it's easy for him to push LeBron when he knows Lebron can't respond back.

    Not sure if trolling or blind hater. Something that hasn't been mentioned... when Nazr first shoves him, LeBron is already backing up and has his right foot off the ground. So a 7 footer shoved him when he wasn't looking and on one leg... right, that must have been a flop. Idiots.

    It wasn't a flop. He caught LeBron off guard. It looks awkward because LeBron is big, and strong. He gave him enough force to start falling back, but not enough to knock his back on the floor. It threw LeBron off. He is nimble, so he was able to mitigate the flop.

    A 6'10", 255 lb. center gave LeBron a push. LeBron is no paperweight either.

    Not a flop and who cares if it was. That was a shove and not a basketball play. Weak sauce. Bulls are a joke.

    ii agree the flop/non flopbis not important. it was uncalled for.

    but i really dont think u should be calling the bulls a joke. they are really playing with a lot of fire and dtermination. got to respect that, especially with so many injuries.hard to imagine any other team missing so many key players and doing so well so far in the playoffs.

    This. I don't know why people are hating on the Bulls. They are totally undermanned and undertalented. Yet they did not quit and kept fighting.

    The Heat has big advantage in both the starting lineup and the bench, and they still have to resort to flopping.

    Because they are b****ing and crying foul about Miami whilst it's clear they're the team trying to make it overly physical at every opportunity.

    It's like the bad boys b****ing about michael jordan being physical.

    Yeah there is a difference between playing hard and playing stupid/dirty.

    I give credit to the depleted bulls for competing.

    I don't give them credit for dumb actions like what Noah did to Birdman and what Nazr did to Lebron.

    It wasn't a flop, but I do think he embellished the contact but seriously, who cares?

    Exactly, Bulls were the one who made it explicitly known that they were going to turn the series into a physical one and pull out the dirty tactics to make up for lack of personnel. Unfortunately for them the Heat is made up of veterans who are no saints either. The Bulls have no ground to b**** about the physicality of the game and some BS conspiracy theory about refs, Lebron and Stern. This and the DRose BS makes the Bulls look extremely weak sauce and they now deserve to have their collective ass handed to them as competing against the odds does not mean that you are entitled to win.

    How serious is Wade's injury?

    Is he physically limited or is he taking it easy right now and cruising?

    Westbrook probably actually dresses himself. Wade most likely pays someone to pick and buy his clothing,
