Worst Fragrant Call Ever

No, it would have still be a defensive foul on Fisher even without the arms.

Number one, Derek gave a clinic on how the rest of OKC should have been defending LaBron the whole series, instead of like a bunch of scared sissy's. Until that play, I was wondering why OKC didn't just roll out a red carpet for LaBron to roll up the lane at will.

Number two, the NBA is becoming sissyfied. I'm not being judgemental, but it's just a fact. If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, go look at some youtube footage from the great series of the 80,'s and 90's - Lakers, Detroit, Boston, New York, Indiana, Utah, Chicago. NOBODY got a free pass through the lane. If you weren't quick enough - STAY OUT. Otherwise, expect a good clean hard foul, or finding someone in your way.

Thank you Darek for reminding everyone how defense is supposed to be played. Take note for next year OKC.

No, that is a horrible game that you desire. Every fan wants their team to lay down hard, physical defenses but want the other team's player tossed when they do the same thing. If you want "professional" wresting or MMA, go watch that. A good clean hard foul was not really clean and was not really good, it was just hard and a foul. The NBA (the owners, the players, the coaches, just about everyone) wants their players to survive for another day an not fear major injuries. They want their players to be able to walk when they're 50.
