Wade should have gotten a flagrant 2 but we all know that's not going to happen. Also later Lebron threw a wicked elbow and for that there was a double technical foul. NBA is a joke.
Look, you won't find a bigger Pacers fan than me, but, Lebron didn't throw an elbow. Don't be such a homer.

I'm not sure I'd call it an elbow. Looked more like raising an arm up to get up off me bitch. Would've been really interesting to see what the repercussions would've been had Granger's face been a little closer ("Don't sweat it," Dwyane Wade says).

Live I thought Lebron threw an elbow too, but the replay disproved that.

I guess we will just ignore the fact that Granger hits him in the face, too.Only Lebron could spark a debate where he gets hit in the face, does not get a foul call for the obvious hit to the face, raises his arm and completely misses hitting Granger at all, and people think the refs are giving Lebron special treatment potentially. Where the hell is the "And 1" for getting hit in the face?

Got cancelled out by the initial uncalled offensive foul.

Offensive foul for what? Posting up really well and sealing him off too effectively?

A seal is when you keep the defender on your back so you can receive the pass. What Lebron did was shove Granger back to create separation so he had room to make the shot.

Larry Legend is executive of the year, which means, I think, he's the only person ever to win an MVP, coach of the year, and executive of the year. Pretty great.

I don't know if you are trolling me now. I mean, that never gets called an offensive foul.Larry Bird has done an amazing job at being a player, coach and exec which is exceedingly rare. Kudos to him, sucks he is contemplating retirement for good.

Well, it does when the guy falls down, which is why there's a problem with flopping.I agree with you that it wouldn't normally be called, but the "and 1" you're asking for is getting hit well after the shot was released anyway. And you can never be totally sure if Lebron really did get hit with his reputation for flopping.I'm like 50% trolling you.

What a horrible horrible loss. If I wasn't dealing with moving tomorrow, and fighting with my gf I would have completely lost it after that one. Which got me thinking...I don't understand how sports are supposed to be a distraction from your real life. I only really get invested as a fan and enjoy games if everything is going really well in my everyday life, and I can just relax and whatever happens is gravy. But if I'm dealing with a lot of stuff at that time I don't really care what happens. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

You'd probably care more if they won. Ugly last two minutes. Well, the whole game was ugly, but especially those last two minutes. Even though the play was run for Kobe, I think MWP made the right pass since Westbrook just left Blake wide open for the game-winning corner 3. You're not going to get a better look than that.

I hate plays where the guy you want with the ball is going away from it unless there's only like 2 secs left.
