    LeBron James and Erik Spoelstra addressed their now-famous bump heading into a timeout in Dallas on Saturday. Both said the bump was unintentional and not an attempt to send a message.

    "I didn't realize. I don't think Coach realized it either, until it was brought up to our attention," James said. "Really, nothing, honestly, incidental contact I guess. It wasn't intentional or anything."

    Spoelstra gave a similar account.

    "I didn't even notice it until people mentioned it after the game," Spoelstra said. "Often, coming out of the timeout, it's a pinball game. I'm colliding into a lot of people. So it's probably a perfect case of over-speculation from this team."

    Actually the facts show that coach Spo did turn around and looked at Lebron when he was bumped.

    <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cNgf6fd88g8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cNgf6fd88g8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

    Watch it at the 0:05-0:06. Unless Spoelstra has amnesia and totally forgot what happened I find it hard to believe he wasn't going to realize a 6'8 dude just bumped him so hard his jacket almost got removed.

    what an amazing detective you are, because to me it doesn't appear as though he looks at lebron at all. he's looking further left..

    LOL he freakin' turned around. What further left are you talking about? Again he got bumped so hard his jacket got ruffled. It doesn't take detective skills, just common sense.

    If you did that to a person you cared about, hell if you did that to a person you never even knew would you just go about your way? Or would at the very least stop and apologize? :rolleyes:

    So I read the Rockets Summary in today's Houston Chronicle - re and re-read the "Taking charge" bit and had no idea what Feigen was talking about.

    http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/7316672.html

    Now I get it. Our guys being funny. I did not watch that game, but just watched the vid - looks intentional to me.. Bad, bad LeBron Brown. (as sung by.....??)
