Tyson Chandler put up a tough back screen at mid-court and clearly fouled LeBron. After about a 2 count LeBron flopped like he was shot by a sniper.
The initial call was a flagrant -2 that was reduced to a 1.
The NBA does nothing to curb or penalize flopping. It's turned into soccer. Disgusting.

Not that I'm watching, but if the Heat don't win it all this year they never will. It's all lined up for them.
Anyone but them!

Rumor is if they don't win it this year Riley is gonna move Wade, and the players are well aware of it. That would be so damned entertaining. I hope he goes to Milwaukee.

Ha, that would be funny.
Can anyone realistically knock them off in the East or should we just pencil them into the Finals? Bulls minus Rose? Old Celtics?
Out West, obviously any of the Spurs, Thunder or Lakers COULD beat them but I assume the Heat would be the favorites?

I just started reading "The Whore of Akron" by Scott Raab. Has anyone else read this? Fucking hilarious book, and really great writing. Lots of interesting stories about the Cavs teams that were making all the playoff runs. According to Raab the DeLonte/Gloria story is bs. LeBron and Delonte did have a big locker room fight before one of the games in the Boston series, and Delonte said something along the lines of "I'm gonna fuck yo momma" which is where the rumor started. The real story, according to Raab is that after the Cavs destroyed the Celts in game one and they had the MVP award ceremony, LeBron took everyone out to celebrate and the entire squad was hung over for the next game.
Other tidbits - that was the same year LeBron got his mysterious "elbow injury" which no one could diagnose, but Lebron kept talking about after every loss. Even took that free throw lefty against Chicago. That mystery injury was apparently par for the course with him when the pressure kicked in. The elbow was just the first instance where it made it to the media. The year before that against the Magic it was "chronic indigestion." The year before that it was "back spasms." The year before that it was fucking shingles. Every year when they got to a playoff round against a real opponent he came down with something weird, and usually unverifiable.
I know it breaks the word limit, but I'll just quote the author's take on LeBron: "James is a fraud. No guts. No heart. No soul... a feckless child stunted by a narcissism so ingrained that he's devoid of the capacity to respond to failure with even a semblance of manhood."
Yep.
Oh - and the Cavs make an effort to replace 30% of the dance team/cheerleaders every season "to keep Andy Varejao fed." Hilarious.

Good stuff flats. Might have to look into that book, although it will just fuel my anger towards the prick. One question:
What did they do, drink through the following day? They had a day off in between games. I guess I've felt it a couple days later but that's usually due to lack of sleep, which I can't imagine they couldn't have gotten.

The party was on the day off in between games, at LeBron's "personal MVP ceremony" at the University of Akron.

Anybody that followed him in high school should not be surprised by his lack of performance when all the chips are on the table. The guy was so a man amongst boys, could do whatever he wanted in high school. He played for a DIII school, so when it got to tourney time he faced no other D1 prospects. His frosh year they won because Dru Joyce hit something like 8 3's. His soph year Sian Cotton thought he was Charles Barkley and dominated the boards. His senior year Romeo Travis showed why he was considered a D1 recruit and carried the team.
Lebrons junior year they lost the state finals to Roger Bacon. I remember first play of the game a Bacon kid hit James in the chest with a forearm, got in his head. He was invisible the entire first half and by the time the second half came and he started to score the game was already over. In this game Joyce struggled, Cotton was hurt, and Romeo lost his cool. Lebron should've been able to take this game over himself, but didn't. Par for the course.
