SPURS V HEAT *SPOILERS*
- Thread starter spurlec
- Start date
I totally agree, that hurt.
In saying that, the referee on the baseline called that and the angle was not the best. He just saw T.D dig his butt in a little (just a typical seal really) and then Bosh go flying. It looked like something must of happened.
The other referees saw that it was a flop and never re-acted.
That sort of thing is unfair to refs and I think flops like that should cop a suspension.

At this point 2-2 I have no idea who will win the Finals. Something totally new happens each game. Lebron WON'T drop 50 because he just doesn't want to. Not a punch at Lebron, he simply does EVERYTHING on the court. He gets LOTS of stats. He wants him AND his team to get going. (You'd just expect Kobe & Jordan to have a few games of dropping 40 or 50) I still think Lebron Is on that level now. Beside these legends. The Spurs look old to me. (And I love the entire Spurs organization) Tim Duncan Is the best PF In NBA history, the ball needs to be In his hands more. Ginobili wants to pass too much, and he's finally looking old. TP Is amazing ! But now with that hamstring injury 
Danny Green & Kawhi Leonard are great though. Just how consistant can they keep that going. Spurs GOTTA win this next game, If they don't I think Miami will win the series. Big awesome games coming up !

Many times this Playoffs/final series, the Heat NEEDED LEBRON to drop 40+ points, if you think he actually has the ability to do it when its NEEDED and at will, your watching a different player then I am....
He is MR Triple Double, but he IS NOT a scoring machine like MJ/Kobe, he does not have the skill and craft to take over games and drop 40+ points at will!!!
That does not make him a lesser player then the scoring greats, just I different one...
Don't mistake Size and speed = Athletic ability.
For...
Skill and craft = Skilled athlete.

Try forgetting the stigma attached to Manu's game and just watch the recent games. Lebron, Wade, Battier and now Bosh are falling with no contact. It is ridiculous to watch. And it's not because if who they are playing, see Pacers series!
I know the Spurs guys flail their arms or over accentuate contact the get on screens and drives, but the suspensions need to be brought in ASAP! I don't care if Manu or Parker miss a game here and there, they deserve to, but I guarantee the Heat will be copping more suspensions than any other team (possibly excepting Clippers)!
Seriously?? The Spurs drop a game at home and all that is being talked about is a flop that didnt change the game apart from wiping 2 points off. Bosh got out played by Timmy on the play and tried to make it not look so bad... instead he ended up looking like a dick out of the play.
As Matt said it was laughable. Made me laugh when I watched it too. MOVE ON.
This is a great series so far from G1 being sealed by Parkers crazy shot, the shooting display in G3 (I couldnt watch it all but gotta appreciate that sniping from the 3 ball line) and now the big 3 coming up big in G4. There is so much more to discuss like can the Heat Big 3 show up again / What is going up with Manu / What can be expected from Parker with that hamstring.
For me I think Parker is worse than they are letting on which is normally the case and will mean he will be a bit hot and cold. Manu isnt going to do anything but Green is going to keep lighting it up and keep the games tight. I am enjoying watching two teams that really know how to play the game and move the ball. Heat take 5 with spurs coming back strong and taking 6! Love this game!

Agreed! Good points in there...
I yell "FLOP" and "TRAVEL" at the TV at least 5 times per game when watching most of the past Playoff/finals games this year!
Its NOT all one sided and every team has been doing both...
I think Spurs will bounce back in game 5 but if the Heat play like they did in game 4, its all over....
When the HEAT "click" they are unstoppable, The Spurs must slow them down!
These stats are so flawed. Someone put up the one where after 1-1 the winner of game 3 wins 92% of the time. That's why I've been drinking champagne celebrating a Spurs victory since then. They can't lose right?
This has been a great series of adjustments so far. Can Pop do it again?

OF COURSE LEBRON HAS THE ABILITY TO DROP 40 POINTS AT WILL. OF COURSE HE DOES. (You made my point saying he's a walking triple double, but that's because he WANTS to do everything else. Not JUST score. But you REALLY do not think Lebron could drop 40 If he wanted to ?)
I don't even care about the flopping. It's a different game today. And these refs aren't calling every little flop. ... Play on
Lebron seemed to do ok dropping 45 on the Celtics last year when he NEEDED to in game 6.
I think he can do it if he wants.
The Heat were very smart in having D. Wade attack and be aggressive when Lebron was off the court at times.
I think the flopping fines need to go to $50k and that will go a long way to sorting things out.
There is a place for flopping, no doubt (most charges involve a flop), but there has to be some kind of contact, not just air between guys. That goes for every team.
But right now, the Heat are the Kings of flopping. There really is no argument.
