This I agree is a flagrant 1 in the sense of "old school ball" and I dont see a problem with it because he went at one of your stars. But in the sense that Tyler got the same exact penalty not even 30 seconds before when Haslem's was clearly worse and not even a basketball move that "happened to catch him in the face" he should have been thrown out. And then it is absolutely laughable that Pitman didnt get thrown out of the game we dont even have to speak on that.Originally Posted by YoungTriz

I can't stand some of you. All we hear is you guys complain about the NBA being soft and there not being any goons to punish people. Things start getting physical and you guys are crying in here calling them classless
Then you guys wanna go back and talk about how much you loved Oakley and Maxwell.
The league isn't soft; the fans are.
Basically what I am trying to say is that I would love to see the NBA go back to the way it was. But at this point its not, yet some teams are allowed to play a little more "old school" and get away with it. I get that everything cant be right down the middle. But the NBA has to do a better job of being a little less biased.
The way things should have gone last night is Tyler's was a hard playoff foul. Haslem's was a flagrant 1, And Pittman should have been tossed.

I think you're misinterpreting Bird's comments.
That has always been a problem, but they were able to disguise it well earlier in the series.
you're a fool if you think Lebron intentionally put his foot under Granger. Watch the replay again and you can see that Granger's foot moves back slightly when in fact he could have came straight down and wouldn't have touched Lebron's foot.

That's why I laughed when he said he wanted to see ball movement like the Dallas Mavs. His team just isn't capable of doing that consistently against a good defense.
Well I think the 1st problem is that they have George Hill (who is a fine player) playing point. I was happy when they signed him, but I didnt envision him running the offense. Him and Collison are content running full speed from basket to basket, passing to nobody, and losing the ball out of bounds, or taking ill advised transition 3's. Idk who is available at point guard this year in free agency, but pg and backup center are our biggest problems
