How did you determine which player I was speaking about?

And yes; I did watch The Last Dance.

Right. It's nothing new, but it is still bullshit. It is the biggest reason I lost interest in the NBA many years ago.

Personally i never lost interest because of the foul stuff most likely because the league as a whole was pretty well balanced in terms of teams the superstars on them. But once Jordan was gone some of the luster faded and eventually by the early 2000's i had pretty much lost interest only occasionally looking at articles, scores, etc on the league. I used to watch guys like Barkley and Malone bully their way inside the paint getting calls after calls, same with Shaq, Kobe, Duncan, etc. I just think at that time the NBA was still an very competitive and interesting product for me. I guess now i just dont see many superstars that i find interesting or rivalries that match the ones way back.

LBJ just got elbowed in the head on a shot. We didn't even get the and one, let alone the flagrant one.

This will be ignored.

Howard you know what you did. Milsap is just mad that he's getting punk'd, though. Don't be tough with Dwight, Paul. You'll get slapped and it'll feel like a punch.

Glad they didn't give Milsap a foul, though.

Murray whines as much as LBJ. I have no issue with it. Stars have the right to talk to refs.

Milsap should be shooting three foul shots.

Congratulations on choosing an NBA Championship, Lakers fans.

I literally called it the day Kobe died.

Nuggets living off of calls at this point.

We'll see. But making it to the finals and having an offseason to improve the team for another run, presuming A.d. stays of course, that feels good.

Adding a great, although slightly injury prone AD while giving up a young core (not even counting the picks) no way should make them anywhere close to the favorites. Now, if they add a premium PG to play the Wade/Kyrie role and get some shooters, then maybe. Right now? Lol.

To be fair to Timmy!, we did need playoff Rondo!
