Yes he was

The NBA handed down a flurry of discipline for flopping and flagrant fouls from Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, including a $5,000 fine to LeBron James.

The equivalent of $14 to someone making $50,000 per year based on his Heat salary alone. Although the fines may slow it down during the regular season, it is not punitive enough to outweigh the potential benefits of getting away with something during the playoffs. Up it by a significant amount and/or have in-game consequences like starting the next game with a personal foul.

You don't get ejected for intentionally knocking someone down in the backcourt and then shoving them?

Nope, but apparently you get a technical for getting knocked down intentionally in the back court and then getting shoved.

Joey Crawford would have executed Birdman on the court for that. I miss Joey.

Did they actually review the technical calls or just the upgrade from the personal to the flagrant portion? If they watched the video to review the technicals too then that's just ridiculous.

I don't think they review the techs. Should have been a flagrant 2 either way.

I don't think they even called the technicals until after looking at the video, but I could be wrong.

I like how they showed the similar push to Lebron resulting in an ejection last round, but it's just a Flagrant 1 here.

You have to wonder what Hansbrough did to get birdman so pissed off. Good first half for the Pacers.

Is it time for Gaige's typical excuse for being down at half and explanation how he loves that the Heat are so great they are only down 4 at half yet?

Birdman better watch his back. Nobody fucks with Psycho T and gets away with it.

Indy missing tons of point blank layups, and still lead. No surprise that the teams that have given Miami the most problems since LBJ showed up have good, serviceable bigs. Also why Miami pounding OKC in the finals last season was no surprise - no presence. OKC would be wise to offer up RW for an average pg, and a good to great big.... not sure it'd be possible, but they'd be a better team for it.

You know just as well as I do that Gaige won't be back here until after a Heat win.
