    Nba needs to be more consistent with these flopping fines

    As much as I like Bird & the Pacers, their flopping and Stephenson's childishness are really getting on my nerves.

    Lebron is not even my favorite player in the league try again.

    You said this is the first time Indiana got calls this series when they shot more than 20 fts more than Miami in game 1.

    Yeah that is common sense

    Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade are the most shameless floppers in the league.

    I'm pretty sure the crown has passed to Born Floppy

    I love Stephenson. His antics are so entertaining. Could do without the flopping.

    Let's stop blaming the refs.

    If you're the better team, refs won't affect the outcome over a 7 game series.

    I agree. I think overall, the net effect of the ref's in the past 5 games has been 0. Current 3-2 lead for Miami and the 6th game going back to HC in Miami is a pretty accurate reflection of how the teams have played.

    Lebron played a full game in game 5 and this series would have been over.

    But the Heat will still win the series so it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

    amazing that after game 5, people are discussing


    1) Lebron getting fouls
    2) Lebron passing up on the last shot
    3) Lance being weird and blowing on Lebron
    4) Lance being an unskilled flopper and getting caught, unlike more prolific but polished floppers like Wade, Bosh, and Lebron

    Nobody seems to have noticed that a guy scored 21 points in the 4th quarter of an elimination game, scored 31 in the second half, and was just a stone cold sniper. If LeFraud did that, half of America would be swinging from his nutsack.

    That's because the Pacers are, in all likelihood, going to lose again and this series will be a footnote, as they should be. And Paul George is a nice player but not even remotely anywhere close to LeFraud's class.

    For all the talk, the Pacers have never really been close to the Heat. The closest the game was staving off elimination and forcing a game 7 last year and then getting blown away 15 minutes in.

    Frankly they'd be more noteworthy this year if they had dropped the series to the Hawks like they should have.

    Anytime either team has a previous great game, the star players are in foul trouble the next game. Expect Paul George to pick up 2 or 3 terrible fouls in the 1st half.



    NBA needs to stop fixing these series

    yeah, that's why their last 18 games have been split 9 games apiece.

    It's a total lopsided rout.

    :rolleyes:

    Yeah, I really hate it when my team..

    scores 60 points in the second half of an elimination game,
    shoots 47% from the floor for the game,
    wins the turnover battle 12-17,
    racks up 12 steals,
    rips down 16 offensive rebounds,
    wins the boards 45-38,
    has their best player score 31 in a half and 21 in the 4th quarter.

    totally butt-ugly win, there.

    LOL

    Pacers statistical probabilities of winning the game tonight, based only upon historical data, according to whowins.com

    In the conference finals round, with the higher seed, with a 2-2-1-1-1 format, trailing 3-2 with game 6 on the road... the visiting team has won this game about 32 percent of the time (15-7 overall record).

    Have to agree with pacertom on game 5. George was amazing in the 4th quarter. Just lights out incredible and fun to watch.

    I got to side with pacertom and everyone else. Lebron fouls were rubbish, but PG went into beast mode 4th quarter
