 For the first time since April of 2008.  For a guy that big and physical, that is absolutely ridiculous.

His 4th and 5th fouls were pretty ticky-tack and I didn’t like the 6th foul.  Livingston definitely flopped.

All in all, it’s pretty crazy how he fouls once every 25 minutes.  Parker is 2nd with a foul every 26 or 27 minutes and Prince fouls once every 33 minutes.  (Per Mike Breen)

 Didn’t Lebron foul out in a playoff game last year?

[GrandmamaParticipant]

 Yeah I think he fouled out against Indiana.  This was first regular season foul out.

 How did Livingston flop when Lebron ran into him and pushed off with his hand too.

Give me a break how are you supposed to play defense than just let the guy get to the basket.

I’m sorry but there is no way a grown man’s feet are completely swept out from underneath him. I mean, if he was falling backwards then fell, it’s not so bad but his feet literally came up. There’s no way a slight 3-5 inch push should drop a man dead in his tracks. You’re supposed to play defense by moving your feet.   This foul was more so a case of LeBron weighing 265 and Livingston weighing literally 175.  That should be a simple, "hit the weight room and play on".  Atleast, that’s how it is where I come from.

And I’m not defending LeBron here, I’m making a general statement, what is the point of lifting weights and getting strong when other players are just going to flop when you touch them. I watch Dwight Howard play, he gets in the weight room and does his reps, clearly, yet when he touches another center that doesn’t have meat on his bones, the dude flops and Dwight is penalized for being too strong. The same thing goes for guys like Harden, LeBron, and other huge/strong players in the league. What is the point of hitting the weight room, when scrawny guys like Livingston or small guys like Barea are just going to flop?  What’s the point of getting cross match-ups off screens when the smaller player is just going to flop.  It’s so frustrating to see J.R. Smith get stuck on the wrong side of a matchup, and flops away because he’s being guarded by someone like Serge Ibaka.  Either hit the weight room or don’t put yourself in those situations.

Your f***ing joking me right? Lebron is the biggest flopper in the league, if he get hit in the shoulder he is on the ground holding his face acting like hes holding back tears.

Don’t even start that "hit the weight room" crap
