i'd call it more of a "rake" than a hit, but he could have got some eye in the mix. could have...

Draymond didn't even think it was a foul

5/31/2018 10:16:58 PM

LOL much like every other NBA player, Draymond Green has never committed a foul. And remember, LeBron is a huge Coach K fan, so flopping has been in his repertoire for a long time.

That was pretty hilarious.

5/31/2018 10:21:52 PM

imagine not liking Lebron

man

5/31/2018 10:39:39 PM

Javale McGee with one of the ugliest missed layup/dunk of all time.

Quote :

"When asked for his thoughts on the flopping, LeBron essentially shrugged, per Ken Berger of CBS Sports: "It hasn't been a problem for many guys at all," James said. "I don't really pay too much attention to it. I think it's been good, I guess." "It's year one, so you're not just going to go cold turkey," James said. "Guys have been accustomed to doing it for years, and it's not even a bad thing. You're just trying to get the advantage. Any way you can get the advantage over an opponent to help your team win, then so be it.""

he clearly got hit in the eye

LeBron was far from set, but I don't know the rule.

you unable to see his head whiplash?

after a giant human threw all of his weight into it?

5/31/2018 11:24:57 PM

the Chandler one there was obviously contact, but a crazy delayed reaction

the one above that is about as textbook as a flop can be

The reason he flops though in general is because he's so strong, that he'll often take heavy contact but it won't look like a foul. It's kind of like when Shaq was playing and you could get away with fouling him a lot because it didn't look like a foul since he was so big and strong. Lebron learned from it.

5/31/2018 11:25:02 PM

Crazy. Curry got nailed in the face but TGL3 ain't in here calling it dirty and Curry ain't writhing around on the ground for 30s.

5/31/2018 11:29:41 PM

Curry just throws up shots at halfcourt after contact to claim he was shooting and then whines when they don't call it a shooting foul

5/31/2018 11:31:12 PM

GSW would probably have won in regulation if they could have secured more defensive rebounds.
CLE could have won if they made more second chance points off offensive rebounds.

5/31/2018 11:35:22 PM

LOL at JR Smith

5/31/2018 11:35:53 PM

glad to see that synapse is assuming the role of UJustWait84

5/31/2018 11:37:41 PM

Did Curry *not get nailed in the face?

GIF me bro.

5/31/2018 11:38:21 PM

That’s what LeBron is playing with. Another example of how great he is, he got that to the finals, an NBA veteran who doesn’t even know the score. To bad they steal tonight maybe a series, this is worse than losing game 1 by 20.

Fun series so far

5/31/2018 11:43:12 PM

definitely

5/31/2018 11:43:31 PM

not sure why Thompson was ejected for the foul

5/31/2018 11:44:55 PM

for shoving the ball in the troll/Green's face?

Or did the ejection happen before that?


[Edited on May 31, 2018 at 11:47 PM. Reason : haha i love james and curry talking through their shirts at each other]

5/31/2018 11:46:23 PM

LeBron hero ball is clearly the reason they lost.

5/31/2018 11:46:41 PM

Ejection happened on the shot

5/31/2018 11:47:13 PM

wild that people who don’t watch basketball regularly don’t know what a flop is

here’s a hint: a player trying to draw attention to an obvious foul isn’t a flop

5/31/2018 11:48:02 PM

^^ Bad call, but it didn't matter.

5/31/2018 11:48:25 PM

Every gif posted on this page is a flop.

5/31/2018 11:51:06 PM

Goddamnit why can’t we get Barkley and Shaq commenting on JR Smith postgame

5/31/2018 11:52:25 PM

what's he supposed to do? stagger towards the free throw line but keep his balance? a 260 lb dude slammed into him

5/31/2018 11:54:42 PM

Tyson Chandler’s feet came off of the floor for fucks sake

5/31/2018 11:59:55 PM

LeBron isn't even going for a rebound there, he's just looking to create contact and flop.

6/1/2018 12:00:43 AM

^^ It's fine dude. There's no need to get upset. You're a Lebron fan AND are incapable of being impartial when it comes to him. It's fine.

"In basketball, a flop is an intentional fall by a player after little or no physical contact by an opposing player in order to draw a personal foul call by an official against the opponent. The move is sometimes called acting, as in "acting as if he was fouled"."

you’re an adult AND you still get off on trolling over shit that you don’t know that much about

and have been for years. good for you.

6/1/2018 12:08:59 AM

Oh wow. Moving on from your favorite "sad dude" retort eh?

Good for you.

[Edited on June 1, 2018 at 12:13 AM. Reason : Would you like to contend that you're capable of being impartial about LeBron or nah?]

6/1/2018 12:11:09 AM

kudos on trying to differentiate “sad” and “troll”

and I’ve never once claimed to be a big Lebron fan. just like pointing out how stupid the hate he has gotten during his career is.

it shouldn’t be difficult to enjoy watching the second greatest basketball player of all time in his prime

6/1/2018 12:17:25 AM

It would be a lot easier if he didn't flop and also cry incessantly every time a foul is called on him (which in all honesty is a league-wide problem.)

Also Tyronn Lue is an idiot.

You don't have to. Every single one of your LeBron posts is unadulterated adulation for the dude.

But now that you mention it, there is this little guy...

Nice hedge attempt, but you've argued otherwise in the past.

6/1/2018 12:31:12 AM

you’d have a point if he was the only player I’d ever expressed admiration for

what exactly have I argued in the past?

[Edited on June 1, 2018 at 12:37 AM. Reason : .]

6/1/2018 12:36:39 AM

So Tristan Thompson is gonna get suspended for game 2, right?

6/1/2018 12:39:29 AM

Dunno. But does Draymond need 1 or 2 more techs for an automatic suspension? I think 2 more but maybe just 1.

And I highly doubt Thompson get suspended for game 2. For what? Pushing the ball at Draymond warrants a suspension?
