Miami Heat vs. Indiana Pacers (G5) LeBron James Plays (Video)

[Raymond]

Just so we can talk about some plays, can we get Lebron's 3rd (charging in 2nd quarter) and 5th (loose ball at division line in 3rd quarter) fouls.

I can look up the times when I get a chance if you need them.

6:03 of the 2nd quarter

8:33 of the 3rd quarter

Offensive Foul:



Loose Ball Foul:

IMHO:

First two (first quarter) were both iffy.

Offensive foul (#3) and foul on Hibbert's putback (#4) definitely good calls.

Loose ball foul (#5) could've (should've?) been a no call, but he should be smarter in that spot and not put himself in that position.

I would agree with this right up until the point where Lebron takes out Stephenson's legs. At that point I think a foul call was absolutely correct.

Play 1: Charge under NBA rules, block under NCAA/NFHS.

Play 2: Correct call. LeBron fouls Stepheson three times (right arm to the throat, both arms behind back holding, contact to hip causing Stephenson to hit the floor), whereas Stephenson "only" fouls LeBron once (grabbing around the waist).
