LeBron James dominated, but also flopped a bit in Heat-Knicks Game 1. Discuss

Thats why Knicks should've tanked for the 8th spot to go up against the bulls.

LeFraud the Bitch James. I hope he gets injured flopping.

[stallionaire]

Knicks fans... get real.

The heat are destroying your team.

This will be a sweep. ... I'm sick of people calling LeBron a flopper when he's absolutely abusing teams.

Why did J.R. smith grab lebron's arm? he got mad that LeBron got that amazing rebound so he reached. :coleman:

we are witnessing a future HoFers first finals campaign. Stop hating.

[kurt_rambis]

blaming the refs for being down 34

oh lawd lol

[pauk]

lets all just... bowdown... :bowdown:

[stallionaire]

Look at all of these mad people.. they wanted a compelling Knicks Heat series... then LeBron goes god mode and says "no."

:ROLL:

[RazorBaLade]

could have used this in the finals !

[pauk]

unfreakinbeliavable... the way he SHUT DOWN Carmelo and then torched everybody offensively.... beautiful...

[pauk]

could have used this in the finals !

feel veeeeeeeeeeery bad for whoever will face this behemoth in the Finals....

[LBJMVP]

they really did though...

they game was 30-29 and the refs pulled a string off straight up terrible calls that led to a tons of miami points.... by the time the momentum was all for miami and the knicks were done.

knicks would have lost regardless, but they did change the tide.

[RazorBaLade]

if he is like this in the finals its over lol but i doubt it..... gonna choke

1 flop led to a 40 pt blowout

you know nothing.

[Draz]

Man. I didn't think he would of went off like this. A few flops here and there, but I can't deny his athletic ability to score and drive to the basket. Good game by him, disliked a few shit here and there but it's the playoffs everything goes I guess you can say that.

[LoneyROY7]

OP is a *******.

[Celtics4ever]

LeBron just lost more respect from me. Stern gave him all these free throws and the lil bitch still flops all over.

P.S. Let me slap Pauk's Momma

This is the important part. If these calls would change the outcome of the game than it's a good argument but the fact that the Knicks and Melo in particular didn't show up doesn't help. It's a 15+ point victory either way.

[Sarcastic]

Refs...:bowdown:

Stern....:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[k0kakw0rld]

flopping like blake griffin out there
1 flop that's all really saw. I also saw him shutting down Melo all night. He brought his A game and played like the MVP defensively and offensively. :applause:

[DTreats]

Typical LeBron.

In the first round of the playoffs he averages: 33/7/9

Second round: 29/8/6

Conference finals: 28/7/5

Finals: 19/6/5

[kurt_rambis]

he not only mind****ed the knicks today, he pen1s****ed them as well

can't wait for the rest of the playoffs

[truhooper]

:eek: :bowdown:

OP probably thinks the Kings/Lakers game in 2002 was fairly reffed.

[LBJMVP]

i saw three pretty blatant ones.

for god's sake, he told the interviewer at half time he got whiplash from the tyson chandler foul...

the first flop was the one were he fell outta of bounds of the steal.
second was the chandler screen
third was when carmello barely touching him and him falling.

[Chrono90]

Even if he wins, he didn't do it in style.

1) Teamed with two other franchise players Wade and Bosh

2) Flops too often

[BallsOut]

Let's be real. Lebron flopped 3 times and got away with it, and then I turned the game off in disgust.

Haha nope. I watched that series back in the day and it was a big deal. Kings were clearly robbed.

To compare this series to that is hilarious. Knicks fans are the best trolls. Literally know nothign about basketball.

[Mr. Jabbar]

what a joke of a thread, refs gave this sh1t to the heat

[stallionaire]

My boy Rubio went down and we went 5-21.

It's okay though, #TEAMHEAT

[kurt_rambis]

he flopped 3 times, 2 of which were actual fouls

[NumberSix]

Seriously, the technical on Melo was absurd.

[RoseCity07]

Get him a bed to nap on during the second half of these games vs the Knicks. He is so good he beats this team in the first half.

Yes, Lebron flops twice and causes a 30 point blow out.

LMAO that is gold.

[pauk]

What was the other flop anyways? I saw only one which he acted out a bit, the one where he went out of bounds....

The one where he got whiplashed from behind was a FOUL... it was a FOUL.... maybe not an Flagrant 1, but still.... the reff called Flagrant 1 immediately, even before Lebron started holding his head...

Still dont understand how any of it mattered?? Lebron would have still RAPED you offensively and defensively..... NOTHING would have changed if those 2 fouls were not called...

[04mzwach]

Lebron's flops were only part of the problem. There were several bad calls.

[iDunk]

You obviously don't understand basketball & momentum.

[bmulls]

Lebron's flops were only part of the problem. There were several bad calls.

The other "problems" were Melo scoring 11 points on 3-15 shooting, Amare on 2-7 and "amazing perimeter defender Iman Shumpert" with a -28 +/-.

The Knicks would have lost no matter who the refs helped.

[NumberSix]

LeFraud the Bitch James. I hope he gets injured flopping.
I enjoy your anger.

one on the baseline, pretty blatant flop

one where melo pushed him a little, probably a foul but lebron definitely exaggerated it

the chandler screen was obviously a hard foul, and lebron made an initial, REAL reaction....then he did a ridiculous fresh prince style move that was totally unnecessary

only one of them do knicks fans have a reason to bitch about

and they still would have got their asses kicked

[DetroitPistonFan]

LeBron learn the art of flopping from his best friend, Chris Paul.

[Dizzle-2k7]

Im thinking of all the top 20-25 players in nba history... bird shaq duncan barkley etc... lebron is the only flopper on that list

:biggums:

[Stern]

People get really mad seeing lebron succeed. :lol

[pauk]

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[EoJ]

Lebron is pretty sly. He doesn't flop all season and only during playoffs so he gets most of the calls because he's not known as a flopper like paul and griffin.

[NumberSix]

Yup. 33 points worth of flops. Cool story angry haters.

[bdreason]

A couple flops doesn't lead to a 40 point win. The Knicks just aren't that good.

[bsyde82]

I don't think anyone is seriously arguing those obvious flops led to the heat win. But one, it's just pathetic for a player of Bron's caliber to be blatantly flopping like that. Two, it was on top of one-sided officiating. Again, not saying this cost the Knicks the game, but it's still worth mentioning.

[Extempo]

He's an embarrassment to the game...the league should be embarrassed to promote him as "the best player." Puts up meaningless stats in blowout games, when his team is already leading. But if its a close game or his team is behind, he disappears completely. He's a scrub. I'v never seen other NBA players making fun of the so-called "best player in the league"...none of them respect him, see the tweets, it is awesome his flopping got exposed today.

[BallsOut]

Lebron is 6'8 260lbs, but falls out of bounds when he gets touched by JR Smith, falls 3 ft to the floor when he gets bumped by Melo, and flails his arms like Blake Griffin 3 seconds after he runs into a Chandler screen. :biggums:

[Trentknicks]

Let's be real here, Knicks were garbage.

Even though everyone can agree the officiating was a joke, would have still been a 10-15 point win by the Heat had Shump not been injured and fair calls were made.

I always laugh at the OP, always has an agenda against Knicks fan, still mad from when we beat you in Minny I see. Good to see your claiming a healthy Wolves would beat the Knicks in 5. How did a healthy wolves team go against the Knicks without Stat & Melo IN MINNY *******!

[irondarts]

I've never seen people have such hatred and venom over someone they've never met in their entire life and who plays a game...it's actually very sad.

[gilalizard]

It is shameful, for a player with his generational talent, to flop so blatantly.

I've got nothing but respect for his talent. I've got zero respect for him as a player of the game.

[zizozain]

fcuking filthy flopper .. what a *****

he really made himself look like a fool doing all that acting like he was really hurt.

to call one a flagrant 1 and the other a non-call is A F*CKING JOKE AND YOU KNOW IT.... they are BOTH NON-CALLS


it was 30-29 when refs took over tons of blatantly awful calls all led to heat points

obvious flops by your superstar Lebron James

[Mr. Jabbar]

true.

As much as i hate Lebron this gave me a good chuckle.

[pauk]

haha... unbelievable... these haters... even on a night like this... with a massive blowout...

lebron plays bad = he choked
lebron dominates = fukkin flopper, if he didnt flop Knicks would have won! wouldnt be a 40 point blowout! true!

[Flagrant 2]

He's challenging Blake Griffin that's for sure

No, Seriously, can people please calm the **** down? Watching the game there were only really two bad calls. Other than that there were just loads of fouls by the Knicks. The Knicks are getting rightfully blown out, they shot 33% vs. Miamis 50%.

"flopped a bit" lol

LeBron flopped like an Italian footballer.

Rolling around on the floor clutching the back of his head after he got hit in the shoulders. Cringing and grimacing for 5 minutes afterward to make sure the cameras caught how "hurt" he was.

Yet wow, there's no lasting affect whatsoever, after he acted like someone took a baseball bat to the back of his head. On the very same type of play he instigated against the Bulls a few games back (and got nothing called against him for).

Shameful coming from a player with his incredible talent.

[PJR]

you fakkits mad.

15 more wins until Miami hoist that Larry O'Brien.
