    I'll add that after the game ended, Marv started up again with Kerr on-air. Very surreal.

    I actually found it better basketball that he was called for those fouls.
    fouls he commits on a consistent biases but he doesn't get called for. yet he should....
    might not be good for business to have the best player in todays NBA off the court for a casual fan...
    But I find it more watchable to see those fouls get called, and personally I'd love to see it happen more often.
    Superstar players get called for fouls the average or rookie player would get called for.
    No Biases to the players that bring in more revenue.
    However I'm forced to watch while saying "wow" on every missed call, or call that goes for the superstar/NBA poster child(aka blake griffin).

    Can't tell you how many times watching a game I see hand checking just ignored by the refs. or the other form of hand checking a defenders elbow on a guard above the free throw line. It's just bad for basketball imo to see things like that.
    And personally that's where the people who claim "fixes/conspiracy" comes from.
    It's not a foul one game, but then it's a foul on a player going for or against a player.
    call things that are fouls, or take them out as rules. pretty simple I believe.
    Yes I want Stevenson called for that. Yes I want Wesley called for it... Yes I want Lebron called for it. Yes I want Ginobli called for it... But I just don't think it will ever happen.

    How many times did I hear growing up listening to NBA announcers
    "oh X player will have to get a knife out to get his 3rd/6th foul"
    And it be true...

    Notice how Stephenson notes that James can't do anything to retaliate, and how he'd have been in a brawl back in the 80s pulling his little stunts.

    Lance Stephenson hitting people in the face and gets the Flagrant One. What a fucking idiot.

    Stephenson pissed off the wrong team lol why would you try to get into the heads of such a veteran team with such silly tactics?

    Even worse is that Stephenson said that he knows the Heat can't retaliate. With his flopping, slapping, and general grab-assing, he comes across as a gigantic pussy who needs the NBA to protect him from getting his ass kicked.

    60-34 at the half.

    Is Indiana still a contender?

    Stephenson has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen. I can't believe he is still doing all this shit even after Larry told him to cut it out. Slapping Cole, Putting his hand by LeBron's mouth, Standing over LeBron so he couldn't get up, etc... that's all in game 6...

    Dang, it'll be nice to find out what happened to the Pacers. They really collapsed, and are doing so on a huge stage too.

    We already know though... Paul George and Hibbert crossed swords and Stephenson tried fighting half the team... oh and they signed Bynum.

    Stephenson also started playing for a contract, and George isn't an MVP-level player.

    crossing swords? Is that like crossing streams in Ghostbusters, or crossing streams when you're peeing with someone else?

    It's kinda like crossing swords during a double penetration of a loose woman.
