nice no call on Westbrook mauling James at half court....then instant karma hits and Battier drains a 3 instead.

Again, Lebron does not get star calls.

The NBA invites flopping and complaining. They reward it.

Exactly what I was thinking BM. I knew Battier's three was going in after that horrible no call.

OKC is their own worst enemy... So many careless plays when they are turning a corner.

No clue what the heck the refs were thinking in that no call on Westbrook. Maybe chuckling at how little Westbrook can affect the balance of James

Heat shooting a better % with 3s than FGs

56.3% vs 55.6%

They might as well take dribbling out of the nba

If Westbrook did that to Wade, Wade would have flown into the scorer's table

How many dynasties or championship teams have been "organically built"?
The Spurs and maybe some early Celtics or Lakers teams.

Early 2000's Lakers were built around free agent Shaq
90's Bulls had Pippen and Rodman who both came from trades
Late 2000's Lakers with a Pau trade.
2008 Celtics Garnett & Allen brought in.
2004 Pistons brought Rip Hamilton and Billups as free agents

Could go on for a while. Very few teams are built organically, let's stop pretending this is the first team built from free agents.

I think the issue is that none of those teams had the same type of hubris the Heat did when their teams were "assembled"

Sonics drafted Pippen for the Bulls. It isn't like he was playing a few years then traded for.

That's like saying the Lakers traded for Kobe. They traded for that pick, but they chose Kobe, which is why they traded for the pick. Neither was a known quantity in the way Bron/Bosh were when they signed with Miami.

I wouldn't argue with that, I was talking about Pascals saying that if they win this championship it doesn't matter because they are "inorganically built".

Rip was acquired in a trade for Jerry Stackhouse.

You guys had Lebron?

Don't need Lebron to hit 3s.

that's a flagrant. For all the "JVG is a heat homer" folks on here...he doesn't agree. Fisher went right into him.

so LeBron lowers his shoulder on a smaller dude and it's a flagrant?

Hard foul. Not a flagrant. Garbage call.

there is no "protection" clause if you are half the size of the guy attacking the rim on a flagrant. Fisher clearly initiated unnecessary contact.

Classy Fisher

That's flagrant if you're a vag.

If anything, Bron lowered his shoulder into Fisher's chest, which is unnecessary from a basketball standpoint.
