Looking at it again, is it possible that the force of the elbow nudge was amplified through Thompson's forearm, resulting in a shockwave so intense that it knocks Lebron clearly off his feet?

Shockwaves, people. Shockwaves.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.

This thread just keeps on giving. Anyone got a gif of that Biyambo block on LBJ before the half?

I mean, of course it was called a foul, even in Toronto, but we all know the truth.

Alright.

You lost a game Saturday.

You lose one tonight, that's TWO in a ROW.

You lose one Wednesday...that's called a LOSING STREAK.

It has happened before.

Let's dispel with the notion that OP doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. Bilbo Board Bagger has been a beast.

Still have cavs for the series tho.

The Cavs won 2 at home.

The Raptors won 2 at home.

The Cavs have home court advantage.

The Raptors will not win in Cleveland.

I don't think I'll ever understand why Lebron has such fierce haters. The guy is a legit top 10 NBA all timer, he's been able to bring the Cavs back from the dumpster of the NBA twice in his career, and by all indications is a nice guy that does a ton of charity work for kids from his hood.

I was in my late teens when Jordan was in his prime and can't remember the hatred for him being so strong. Maybe that has a lot to do with his career being pre-internet. I know Kobe had a large group of haters as well but they didn't seem as vocal i guess.

Lebron is the biggest beta to play in the NBA.

At best, he got body and ball at the same time.

As far as I can tell he barely even gets the ball and his arms clash with Brons, which represent most of the "block" effect: A really nice try and close,but seems like with the amount of contact and lack of really getting much of a hand on the ball by the defender you should call the foul.

The Decision and things around that time period still linger in people's memories. It petty but it's not hard to understand why some are vocal about their dislike.

I think his jumping ship and then acting holier than thou when he was in Miami (and then proceeding to lose the the Mavs) turned a lot of people off of him, regardless of his skill. Also, shit like that flop, don't help either. He and Jordan have different on-court personas and Lebron's is that of a whiny bitch. Off court is a whole other thing.

I grew up around NJ/NY, in the early 90s you better believe "fuck Jordan" was an everyday thing. There was practically a Bulls/Knicks riot in my middle school during the 93 ECF.

Yes in the last frame I posted; looks to me like both his body and arms are hitting Bron's body and arms before that.

And the ball goes "up" because the defender didn't stuff the block, he only gets his fingers on it not his palm.

Biyombo's hand is already on the ball in the second and third frame. The hand is part of the ball.

His right hand is hitting Bron's left hand, and his left hand isn't touching the ball yet.

No clue what you are seeing. "His hand is part of the ball" lol.. I can see his hand.. and.. the ball.

What on earth are you talking about?

His hands are nowhere near the ball when Lebron catches it. Even in the first frame I posted, let alone the frames before that.

You can see a fans head behind the backboard between the defender's hands and the ball lol.
