Capo d'Orlando 85 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 That flagrant foul on Fisher last night was one of the worst calls I've ever seen.. Completely turned the momentum and the lead shot from 10 to 25 I really don't think it was a bad call at all. Fisher was trying to do the same thing he did to Luis Scola a few years ago, it's just that Lebron is a tank so it didn't knock him over. Fisher purposely lunged forward and tried to extend his arms, James just had too much momentum. I can't believe I'm sticking up for Lebron, but Fisher is an extremely cheap player, always has been, and I'm glad he got caught last night because his only objective was to launch himself at Lebron. Also, the lead was like 16 when that happened. Heat already had the momentum. I thought it was a terrible decision to put Fisher in. He's had some clutch shots in his career, but when you're down by double digits, he's useless. Also, I blame Fisher for the Game 4 loss. It was tied I think when James fell down with his cramps, Thunder have a fast break opportunity and Fisher tries to take it to the rim and gets rejected. It leads to Lebron getting an easy layup, and the Heat never looked back. I hate Fisher. /rant 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drain-O 369 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 I'm pretty sure Mike Miller hitting 7 of 8 3's was more of a back breaker than any one call. The Heat won. Lebron was freaking amazing. Move on and start the offseason already. Goodbye Dwight, Ryan, Jameer, Duhon, Turk, Richardson. Hello lottery! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NittanyBuc 757 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 Fisher was standing still while LeBron had a running start and he lowered his shoulder like he always does, not to mention James has at least a 50 pound advantage. Either Fisher raises up and delivers a blow or he gets knocked on his ass and ends up in the fourth row with the fans. Hate him if you want, but that's exactly how certain guys used to play the game ie. Barkley, Malone, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Refs got the call right. And just so this post is relevant to this thread, let's not go after Fisher this offseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you're doing it to protect yourself, I don't see it as flagrant. It's a natural reaction to try and fend off someone or something coming at you at full speed.

Maybe that's an unnatural reaction though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're going to compare a 100 ton train to a 275 pound human being, let's just stop this conversation now before it gets any more ridiculous. Common sense should tell you that is a completely different situation for multiple reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magic04life 9 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 @MagicalNBAThe deal : D12 alienated ownership by staying in LA. This was not needed, he left the team in the playoffs. This is why they dont call him.. @MagicalNBA That being said, they want D12 back if he buys in and becomes a leader. He has no respect currently in the magic org. He can change that @MagicalNBA Rob could meet w/ dwight and decide HE does not want D12 on this team, not vice versa. @MagicalNBA If D12 buys in, the Magic could build a team that contends with heat in 1-2 years. D12 is the guy who makes LBJ and Wade shoot Jumpers. @MagicalNBA The Magic could become the most athletic team in the NBA w/in 2 years if Dwight stays. No one can run w/ him at C.

Skywise316 211 Report post Posted June 22, 2012 All I have to say about the Heat is that I'm very happy for Mike Miller (Magic as a rookie) and Shane Battier (Duke). Eh, the rest can suck it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
