Sorry for the lack of a .jpeg but I couldn't find anyone posting it.

I noticed no less than two times last night that Lebron would purposely high five shooters just after they shot the ball (when they pose for the follow through on their jump shot).

The big one was Terry in the corner in the 4th, but I think he did it to Dirk when he missed a 3 pointer in the first quarter.

Anyone else notice this? I found it a little goofy that he would go out of his way to do this...

Do something to throw off their followthrough or rhythm. Shane Battier always taps their nose.

Don't take this as a Mavs fan *****ing about the refs or anything, but he sure gets away with quite a bit. Look up his "crab dribble" on Youtube.

Also, he obliterated Terry in the first half. If DeShawn does that, he's gone.

And Dirk gets away with more than Joel Anthony does.

No one wants to see DeShawn or Joel Anthony. They want to see Dirk and LeBron.

On the three by Terry, he flopped like someone sniped him from the upper deck.

The rim obliterated Terry. Not so much lebron.

Terry had an embarrassing Rim check that was only topped by Haywood.

You are both sorta right. On the corner 3, James fouled Terry. He clipped him on the arm on the follow through. Very obvious and that's a foul.

There might have been slight contact with the body. Jet made a meal out of that and fell down easily.

You hate the refs dictating the game, yet you want them to call it when James barely clips Terry's arm after the ball has already been released?

Terry isn't going to get the light fouls because he fouls and whines too much.

You must have missed Game 5 of the Heat/Bulls series - Wade got the call on Rose after shooting a 3 and then flailing his arms and kicking his legs out as if Rose flattened him.

Nobody cares what you think.

When was the contact? Before or after the shooters feet touched to floor?

If after, its not a foul, unless you think any touching of any kind is a foul.

Just to play devil's advocate...how would a sort of review/challenge system impact the viral flopping epidemic?
