NBA Thread. Sensitive Reflections of 2011-2012 Season.

[GarglesCmen]

I think it's more the refs fault than the players. I ain't even just talking about flopping officiating in general needs to step it up. I know there can be hard calls to make but shit just be gettin ridiculous. For example, that "flagrant" foul by artest on sepholosha last round or that one game (and series) deciding call in the celtics/hawks series that even the NBA admitted was a mistake days after the actual game. It doesn't surprise me that so many players and coaches get fined for criticizing the refs all the time. They be gettin fined THOUSANDS of dollars for that shit too. i wonder where all the money goes? David Sterns retirement fund perhaps?

The refs do suck, and they are possibly corrupted from within, which doesn't help.

The technical called on Stephen Jackson in game 6 for staring at Mo Cheeks after he made a shot was plain retarded and unnecessary.

Although in terms of flopping, I believe that the players are responsible for the refs actions. The refs are forced to make a judgement call because they fear backlash for making the wrong call.

+I hate to make this admission, but if The Heat make the finals I'm going to be on their side. Fuck OKC.

[Strike A Pose]

Here is the flop I was referring to.


I don't understand how anyone can remain a fan of this guy/team after seeing this/

James Harden Pass and Crash

The video quality sucks, but the last angle shows a clear bobble-head demonstration from the king of flopping.

His neck is on some rockemsockem robot shit.

[Strike A Pose]

Another completely unprovoked flail from the same game

James Harden Screen Flop

Undisputed king of flopping!

[Donkey Lips]

It was a depressing game 6, but game 7 will be pretty god damn exciting. Lebron brought it last night night and Pierce looked like he spent the entire day in a walk-in freezer.

Edit - Also I might be a little delayed on noticing this, but Battier appears to be a very classy player. Never paid attention to him before these ec finals.

I don't know, bro, kind of looks like a moving screen.

[SFblah]

The flopping by Harden/Manu is lame and there really needs to be something done about it. I hope they call it the Manu Rule or something just to call him out.

However, Harden flop or not I cannot understand AT ALL how some people above can root for Miami over OKC. Lebron/Wade deserve nothing due to that whole pre-season parade shit they pulled as well as claiming multiple rings as if that shit is a cake walk which even Magic said is insulting to anyone who's won it.

[DaSk8D00D]

^word. Im not a heat hater but the thunder are wayyyyy more likeable than the heat. If anything you gotta love Durant regardless.

Regardless if it was the right call to make, you can't ignore that unnecessary flop.

id rather see celtics over heat go to the ship....dont think lebron should of gotten mvp durant all the way

^^See what I mean.

Bunch of frontrunners who know little about the sport of basketball.

James had a season for the ages. The numbers don't add up, the only reasoning behind your stupid comment is the fact that you like Durant more than LeBron. I suggest you take a look at the stats, you will realize how fucking retarded you sounded making such a statement/

[Beer Keg Peg Leg]

I honestly don't care who wins if it's between OKC and Miami. Still rooting for dem Celtics though, even though I fucking HATE a large majority of their fans, I would love to see those players get another ring to really consolidate their legacy.

So you are going to argue both sides and then tell people they don't know anything about basketball? The moving screen was what forced the turnover, the flop brought attention to it.

You want to end flopping? Write a letter to your congressman.

HAHA!



You are making an observation that has no effect on my previous points.


Plus, Harden anticipated the contact and was already flopping before Manu even got to him, Manu planted as soon as he released the ball. It wasn't a moving screen.

Fuckboy!

you niggas are taking this shit too seriously, ITS A GAME, HAVE FUN.

The flopping by Harden/Manu is lame and there really needs to be something done about it. I hope they call it the Manu Rule or something just to call him out.

However, Harden flop or not I cannot understand AT ALL how some people above can root for Miami over OKC. Lebron/Wade deserve nothing due to that whole pre-season parade shit they pulled as well as claiming multiple rings as if that shit is a cake walk which even Magic said is insulting to anyone who's won it.

above is exactly why i hate the heat

[pancake man]

don't know much about basketball, but it is disheartening to watch your team lose after being so close

Are you talking about seattle losing their team? The reason for that is because new orleans played in okc for a year or something not sure and they sold more tickets then they did in new orleans so the nba decided to steal the supersonics from seattle and put them in okc pretty much over money. I personally love okc because alot of my family is there, we dont have any other professional team and they are very young and talented. They also get better every year. Sorry if that makes you upset seattle lost their team but it's about the money.

[DaSk8D00D]

Forreal it's not like it's the actual players fault the franchise got stolen. Just chalk this one up to the NBA's illuminati along with that canceled Chris Paul trade & the hornets (who are currently owned by the nba) winning this years lottery

[Beeda Weeda]

what a great finals matchup.

[Donkey Lips]

Saturday was a sad night. Dudes played decently but Heat just came through with the win. It pains me to say, but Supersonics, get this shit done.

not calling you out but do people understand that that was a pep rally for the heat fans to build excitement about their team? i really don't see the problem with that.

all lebron said is they came together to win multiple championships (which they did) and the media blew it up beyond proportion.
