@Higher Tech there are some gifs of the fouls but I watched this game, a shyt load of other Pacer games, and saw the fukking Pacers play LIVE and this nikka Roy Hibbert is 7'2 getting off the ground at every paint shot in his radius.
People are acting like a foul is his signature move or something. This is literally the consequence of him jumping up in the air... there are some blown calls but not even hyperbole, 99% of the time he jumps up straight and it's 100% legal.
Bunch of cry baby fakkits. The Heat fans complaining are absolutely disgusting. EVERYONE on this forum remembers how they robbed the Celtics a couple years ago. Lets get some gifs of that Rondo foul in overtime where Wade ripped his skull off.
No team in NBA HISTORY to my knowledge has been so protected by the refs.

No heat fan can cry about calls. Lebron hit the hole like jim brown running nikkas over and still don't get charged with offensive fouls.
The plane of verticality rule has been in the league for years.
(I use it to harass refs in my Y/men's leagues when they're fukking up
)
But hibbert brings his arms down, and still gets the call, which - given his length - makes it almost impossible to finish around him.
That being said, is it all that different from elite wing players and guards (from mj to kobe to bron to paul) getting phantom foul calls when they go to the hoop, or getting credit for flopping?

Exactly, I see people saying Tim Duncan in this thread, when he keeps his arms straight up the majority of the time, where as Hibbert's arms are horizontal on a lot of these plays. Sure, he went up straight but he brings his arms down, another guy that was pretty good at verticallity was Varejao but he never brought his arms down and he wasn't the shotblocker Hibbert is.
People don't even want to admit that he's getting some level of benefit of doubt here, even though the league clearly has history of it with wing players as well.

Looking like folks are getting scared
They're terrified. I've been
reading through the fear in this thread
last time I checked lebron was 6;9 260 its a big mans game down there so when he dunked on jason terry thats fine but he get some contact from hibbert and the whistle needs to be blown. 
If lebron running in there expect some contact he kicked him and hibbert brought his arms down to block the shot move along nothing to see here. 
No touch fouls in the paint half the time the offensive player is the one who should be called for a foul by using there off arm or kicking the defender.

This thread is hilarious. Half of you don't know the rules of basketball apparently because you would have known the rule of verticality has always been there. And for every handful of examples you find of Roy not being 100% straight up, there are 5 of him doing it perfectly. He has worked on this for years and honed his technique to the point he gets respect from the refs. Hell some people are calling this "Hibberting" now he made it that much his signature.

point blank if Hibbert is going to be allowed to foul my team & teammates over and over doing that crap I'm going to make sure he pays for it. I'd purposely have my knees out every time I went in there. He's going to have to sacrifice his rib cage for the refs not calling blatant fouls on shot attempts. Dude is clearly hitting people all in the face with his arms & its no foul being called. He'd get the knee every time. I'd even sacrifice a game for it...but he'd think twice about standing down there and fouling my team over and over or he'd just have to come out the game injured. 
this is not legal...that dude is fouling. I've never seen Duncan do mess like this over and over and over again without getting 'SOME' fouls called on him. If the refs called it right dude would be in foul trouble every game.
