^ Dude, justify all you want. It's still a flop.
By turning into the collision and extending his arm?
Don't people usually turn AWAY from impact if they're trying to avoid it?
I mean, it was a foul without a doubt, and it was a deserved flagrant because he was very obviously trying to stop the break.
At the same time, Lebron is a flopper, and he proved it yet again.

Yea, and I'm sure Dale Earnhardt flopped when he hit the wall, too. You can't slam two masses together and call it a flop
Keep on drinking the Kool Aid. Draymond is dirty, and it's kind of sad you all still support him as much as you do. Were it any team other than your own, you'd be annoyed by his bullshit, too.
Regardless of all of the excuses for his behavior, do try to keep in mind that there was one more little record that was broken last year.... Golden State had a 3-1 lead in the finals on what was the best season in the NBA ever...
... and lost...
... which is something that hadn't happened in 32 previous iterations of the finals.
Maybe if Draymond hadn't spend his playoffs kicking different teams/people in the balls and complaining to the refs, you all would have won.
He's a liability. It may take some time, but you all will come to see that, too.

Well by the time he sees Draymond coming across, there's no stopping that collision. He's running full speed, and it's just a matter of time. If you watch his feet, Lebron begins to make a motion to step left around Green. Still, you can't change direction fast enough to prevent it.
Why extend the arm? Impulse. By increasing the time over which the force is delivered, the impulse is reduced. Same reason cars have a crumple zone. Spread out the impact.
Same reason we all try to extend our arms before we hit the ground.

Rolls with it...
The next play the refs called lebron for an offensive foul. They knew they got suckered.
Warriors dominated, Cleveland lost it in the first few minutes, and bull shit if they say it wasn't important, especially after the way they crowed on Christmas.

They have JR Smith....
But he extended his opposite arm, not the one that was closer to impact.

Step around Green? Really? Only Cavs fans saw it that way. Even Webber on TV was giving him shit.
Lebron gets up holding his jaw. Only way he hurt that was from throwing himself on the floor like a tantruming child.
Since Lebron is a 'football player' it clearly looks like be went in for contact on purpose with his forearm. If he didn't, Dramond would have flown by grabbing his arm and stoping a fastbreak like all players do when a player gets a free lane to the hoop.
He flopped. He exaggerated the contact there and on the block from KD.
They can't beat the warriors with scoring or defense alone. They have to dennis rodman head game them.
Good luck with Korver playing defense
Looks like KD's length and Javale will help clog the middle and disrupt Lebron and Tristan.

C'mon man. NASCAR? Really? NASCAR? Earnhardt broke his skull. How was bron-bron's X ray? C'mon. It was a foul. Drayond is dirty, Lebron flops, and its all part of the show. I can accept it. Dig deep man I know you can too.

Steee-riiike!
armchair physics with removing intent, for both players.
should have been a simple foul on draymond.
once again, lebron sold it to make it a bigger deal than it was. perhaps the complaining to the refs just one or two games ago made a difference? does physics take that into account?
it was a heads-up play by lebron to sell the foul, which ended up being a flagrant. he did well. now we'll see how many draymond accumulates before the finals.

Man, he's gonna actually hurt himself one of these days doing the mime bit...The physics thing is funny and here's why: nobody questions that Lebron was hit in the foul. The question was whether he was hit in the mouth or face by Draymond to account for his head jerk and afterwards rubbing himself with his poor hurt-lookin face.
PS. FWIW, The Cavs were obviously tuckered out from their road games. I know they are better than what we saw but I still think LeFLop's arrogance is annoying at large to the sport. That the refs "fall for it" is not a happy situation either. At least we didn't have to watch him do pull-ups on the rim like on xmas. it seemed like he was daring on the refs to call him for it as they had Draymond a few days before. If the two meet in June, it will be in Oracle at first. So we'll see....

^ And that shits a heads up play to attempt to sell Draymond's bullshit.
A simple foul is grabbing somebody around the waist... Not body checking them. If I wanted to see that shit, I'd watch football.
Why needlessly shoulder charge somebody while planting your foot to reinforce the blow? Watch the fucking video, man. It's right there.

I want to make inflatable Lebron arms to flail around when they shoot free throws. Kickstarter?

You must really be dismayed at the way Curry gets knocked around exactly in that fashion. Those of us who watch the bigger guys, including Lebron, knock him around are quite familiar with those shoulder checks. Picking on littler guys is okay in the manly NBA, but taking on a bigger guy is not, I guess?????

Meh, apples to oranges. Physical basketball is one thing, but blatantly shoulder charging is entirely another.
Conversely, I could argue that being huge is a disadvantage because fouls often go uncalled against guys who can take the hit that would send a smaller player flying. Doesn't necessarily mean a foul wasn't committed if you don't hit the deck.
