For **** sake, anyone saying that "it's just a hit on the head!!! Nothing serious!" Must've never played a single minute of sports in their life. An unexpected hit on your head with full force (light hit my ass, that was a full swing by DeRozan) from the back is about as bad as it can get for unintentional hits.


I have played couple decades basketball. Basketball is a contact sport you learn quite quickly to handle those hits. Sure those things sting, but that's it. LeBron fakes those injuries to get resting time, but as long rules allow players to rest during game and stall the game why shouldn't he use that advantage. It is a strange thing that once they added to international basketball a rule that if you stayed down for a certain time you were forced to swap that player out. This somehow reduced the amount of injuries by 90%.


Don't get me wrong, LeBron totally uses the max amount of time he can to rest even on the floor, but usually it's after a hit really was bad and he oversells it a bit.

But saying he flopped and that a full swing from an NBA player to the back of your head shouldn't hurt is just being stupid.


...how was it a full swing?! If a elbow hits your eyelash..you do go down like a bi***?

Clarkson airballed so bad that I think it will even count as an assist. Jesus Christ :lol:

Any possession when Jordan is the only person to touch the ball is a bad possession. WTF is this dude thinking?

No, yall complain about teh refs every team you have face this season, its ridiculous. 8vs 5 against the wizard, now its the cavs, am I right. You guys have 19 fts to the Cavs 15 fts. Go take a look at the Pelican vs Warriors series to see the disparity in fts. Now, stop complaining,.

Yeah that’s it, we complain about nothing. You’re right.

I guess you forgot to sign off from your Utah Jazz fan profile when you posted and referred to the raptors as "us" :lol:

I'm a Raptors fan the Jazz thing is just an inside joke

I hate to be that guy but this game has been officiated horrendously. Side note what is up with Lebron lying on the ground holding his head every time he gets hid in the head. Is he trying to sneak in some rest? If so that's smart as ****.

I know Lue want to get Hood and Clarkson some minutes but it's clear they are negatives.
