I'm still not sure which side of the fence you stand on because in one post, you say "you guys are bent about it and demanding flagrants and techs and %$+@", as if a flagrant wasn't deserved there. And in your very next post, you say "And I ain't backin Fish for anything, I'm laughing at all these guys still upset about that play and wanting even more blood than a flagrant".
And I'm tired of guys bringing up, "oh, if this was the old nba, blah blah blah". Fact is, thanks to Ron Artest, Ben Wallace, etc, the L no longer operates like that. The players have adjusted. Now you should too.

Pathetic coaching from OKC coaching staff. Absolutely pathetic. And even more than that, shame on Scott Brooks for not standing up for his team to the NBA and their officials. Dude ain't even get a technical the whole series as he stood on the sideline and watched his team get no calls and get disrespected as if they were a JV team, and didn't have homecourt. If I were a part of Thunder management, I'd suggest giving Phil Jackson a call.
Once they called that flagrant foul on Derek Fisher, I might have seen another 8 secs of that game, that was just the icing on the cake for a pathetic post season of officiating, the worse I've seen since the Laker-Kings series from back in the day.
I'm gonna watch closely to see what new rules the competition committee implements, because all this flopping, rogue officiating, and standing under players to draw a charge who are already in the air has to stop. If new rules that I agree with aren't implemented, I'm limiting my basketball to the Cavs, because the NBA is not basketball/sport, it's business entertainment. College and high school is the only true basketball left.

How does anyone who watches basketball on a consistent basis (have league pass... still think Kobe is on par with Lebron NOW? And in the conversation for the best player in the league? How is that even possible?Originally Posted by DipsetGeneral
He's either 1A or 1B best player in the world alongside (Kobe).

The best 2 players in the league BY FAR are Lebron and Durant. It's not even a debate.

Talk to me when you guys take the chip in a real season.

Question though, if it was OKC that wins the 'chip... would you still consider it an *? Let's say it's your team that won, would you still consider the *?They played the same season everyone else played. Went through the same playoffs everyone else did. Won the championship that every other team had the opportunity to appear in. Why doesn't that count? And all the folks saying that, would they say it if their team won? Nnnnoope. My fellow Laker brethren, would they be like 'Nah, we really only have 15 chips; '99 doesn't count'? HAYL nah.

That's what I saw too. Fisher has done something similar to that before (Lakers v Rockets) and got hit with a flagrant and ejection. He's a low key dirty player and I absolutely think he's a POS. There is ZERO place in basketball for plays like that. As the union head, it's no wonder the players were looking to remove him from that position. He's a dirty player who resorts to cheap tactics to cover up the fact that he has limited skills on the court. Even Laker fans will admit that Fisher has been washed up for several seasons now. I might actually be more happy that he did NOT get another ring than I am happy LeBron got one. ##$@ Derek Fisher.
Come the hell on.
The freight train is rollin quick at 275 full speed ahead, and little Fisher is basically standing there for the obvious block/charge call, and suddenly Lebron just STOPS.
Full speed ahead Lebron James got STUCK by D Fish, and you guys are bent about it and demanding flagrants and techs and %$+@.
If Wade tried that same exact play on Bron, Wade would have had to been airlifted out of the arena on lifeflight. Neck brace, back board, immobilized, they woulda found him in the 11th row. Fish, barely took a half step backwards.
Flagrant. Dirty.This is today's NBA I guess. Smallest dude on the court stops the biggest guy cold in his tracks without any sort of takedown, elbow, any of that, just a SOLID wall put up for the block/charge and folks want guys ejected and shot on sight.
What Fish did to Scola was a payback. Scola had scrapped Fish the play before, so before the screen, Fish looked for him first and delivered a closed in bow and Scola dropped like a sack of potatoes. Again, Scola is very much bigger than Fish, but went down like a sniper caught him.This play was Fish pullin his Shane Battier only Battier dives straight to the ground on impact, Fish stood there, and took 275 lbs at full speed and got backed up half a step.
this...i mean Fisher has to stand his ground too. But most def. not a flagrantOriginally Posted by toine2983

No one is denying it was a foul, it's the flagrant aspect that's being called into question.
I thought it was a hard foul but not a flagrant.

If OKC, LAL, or the Bucks won I would have said the same thing. It was a shortened irregular season which isn't like a team taking the Chip in a regular season, so if you think it is... Keep thinking that way but I would think you're stupid.
If you ask a player, would you rather win a lockout season or a regular season, no one would say... "You know what, I think I wanna take one in a short lockout season... that would be Rad."
Either way.... congratulations to Lebron James for getting his first championship hopefully it isn't his last.
Looooooooooooolssssssss why you watched and prayed they lost all season then. The intensity was high from day one BECAUSE they started on christmas. LEBRON GOT THE RING DUNNY!! )))))))))))

Sure, if you asked a player whether they would rather have a 'full season championship' or a 'lockout season championship', they'd say they want the full season one. But there are 2 things to that:
#1- the ONLY reason they'd want the full season ring is to shut folks like you up; it's NOT because they think it's worth less. You think the Thunder are thinking "Oh well, it was just a lockout championship anyways. Don't get too bummed, guys"?! Yeah right.
#2- What if you asked a player "Would you rather a 'lockout championship' one time in your career, or no championship ever?', the hell'd you think they'd say?
