    I think they should have called that even though Richardson was showboating.. I mean its a crucial point in the game...

    Didn't see the play till now. Pretty much got none of the ball there, though JRich probably shouldn't have shown off.

    It was a foul technically but that was a boneheaded play by J-Rich. You don't showboat when you're trailing in the 4th quarter of a close game. Oh....and great play by LeBron.

    yeah but I think its impossible to see the foul in norml speed. The speed + the 360 + angle= no call.

    No, not a great play.

    That was a foul, and the refs ignored it.

    Clearly a foul, There are not many players that can block a 360 dunk especially coming down from a fast break.

    LeBron is a walking hype machine.

    There was no foul called.

    Great play.

    That was obviously a foul. The showboating should not have affected the outcome of the call. Lebron clearly got J-Rich's wrist.

    When you pull a boneheaded play like that you don't deserve to be bailed out. Regardless of the "bloul", it was still a great play by LeBron to chase him down from halfcourt the way he did. LeBron has a ridiculous block or pin-block like that nearly every game. I've never seen a wing player make it look that easy. He got enough ball for me to overlook the no-call.

    At full speed, you could tell Lebron's hand wasn't high enough to touch the ball.

    Man, how many transition blocks does LeBron James have this year? Every week, he seems to have at least one. I think on the Cleveland telecast a week or two ago they said he had 18 or 19 of them. If they kept a stat for that historically, he may have broken the record.

    And now he's getting the rules changed so he can crab dribble.

    Funny how that works huh?

    Lebron gets the rules changed for him.

    They ignore the rules for Yao.

    Great play but it should have been a foul. The clean block from behind on Barbosa was even better.

    I know he has pin-blocks, but for sure, not every game.

    And whether or not you make a boneheaded play, a foul is a foul.

    As a fellow Rockets fan, I'd expect you to know that. *Cough* Yao *Cough*

    Ok, so he got a superstar call. How is this any different than the refs letting Kobe run over two of our guys last night....with fouls called on them?

    Just because our star doesn't get superstar treatement doesn't mean others don't... :)

    Man, great block on the wrist. Wrist is part of the ball right? Oh wait.......

    The way that Richardson fell should have given them some indication that there was some contact in some way. The worst thing about it was that he got none of the ball whatsoever.

    Just because he's Espn's money machine doesn't make that right.
