wow that lebron flop

would the NBA even exist without Joey Crawford

this game has been so weird

Wow Heat should've gone at Lance there.

ruh roh

oh shit 6 on bron

omg

does the inevitable upcoming wade double-pump 3 even catch rim? quick poll

erase this game from the earth's memory

None of these refs should work another playoff game.

Nope but he gets fouled -> nails all fts.

one more call for the refs to blow!

heh

and they did blow it.

ugh

LOL wade

hahahaha "is that a walk, it's difficult to tell"

what is this nonsense

Batman!

I can't believe they were doubting the travel call.

wade has become maybe my least favorite baller

Imagine how tough this series would be for the heat if they had trouble with big guys!

matt, do you think the pacers are going to win the series?

not really but great question jord

Heat outrebounded 49-30 (not why they lost tho)

not really but great question jord

refs should just call technicals for shit like that

the flopping aspect of this series is so hilarious

cute move coming on the heels of those flopping comments. xp

i hope someone puts together a top 10 flops from this series compilation

They'd be much more legit if they had Granger as 6th man right now. Curious to see how they handle it next year.

J0rdan I know you think playing the Heat by pounding inside / relying on inside-outside game is actually the right strategy rather than pounding it inside, but please take into account 1) Pacers have plenty of bruisers who are great in the post, and 2) Ps might be the worst collection of passers/ballhandlers to ever make it this deep. Against a Heat team w/ two of the best passing-lane defenders / freelance defenders in the NBA. And barely any low-post presence. This really isn't a difficult call.

xps the double-flop in that gif is mesmerizing.

this series is really high stakes because if the Pacers win we'll see a resurrection of the "big men win championships" mentality that has ruined so many franchise (RIP Kevin Pritchard)

seriously how is there not a gif or video of the wade travel anywhere on the internet

hibbert should be on dwight spot @ all nba team

ok it's at 1:30 here

oh i don't think the pacers should do anything but what they're built to do

but i also don't think pound-it-inside teams will beat the heat in 7

imo it's a walk, he basically established his right foot as his pivot

the officiating ruined that game from the jump

Watching that replay Lebron steps on Stephenson's foot for that sixth foul. I missed that and thought they were calling a weakass "extended leg" trip.

Lol Indy crowd booing lebron's press conference for half a second before sound guy switches them out

Ethan J. Skolnick ‏@EthanJSkolnick 26s
LeBron on Stephenson: "He played really well. But if you sit here and talk about an individual 1-on-1 matchup b/w me & Lance Stephenson..."

just realized tracy mcgrady is going to be in the finals.

Just finished this and came to smash the refs but see that you guys already put in some good work. Sad to see the Pacers have to stoop to flopping just to match the Heat. With the new revelation that if there was no flopping there would be no NBA, Indy saw the writing on the wall. Flopping = effort now apparently. It's sad and disheartening that refereeing is such a major part of the game.

btw was that Lebruh's first foul out of all time?

/but i also don't think pound-it-inside teams will beat the heat in 7/

lol srs this series is tied two two and the pacers arent even that good of a team, you are watching proof of the effectiveness if this approach, in realtime bro
