the playoffs are full of this crap and its annoying seeing Rasheed comment on every call and Lebron say he gets pushed every time he shoots.

crack down on it again please, i cant stand this mess it takes away from the game. you dont see this crap in college and the playoffs are finally starting to kind of be entertaining...well the east at least.

nah, they're more concerned with making sure (injured player x) wears Gucci.

yep all college players agree with all fouls

yeah, it does happen in college ball, but not to the extent that it does in the pros.

5/31/2007 11:24:31 PM

i dont think theres much of a difference...i mean maybe rasheed argued less in college cause the refs favor UNC

5/31/2007 11:28:13 PM

oh yeah, he's always been a whiny bitch, no doubt about it. All players bitch, but what gets me about the NBA's supposed cutback on letting players bitch is that the refs apparently have no understanding of emotion. Lebron gets a T for coming his his players side, the same way Amare and Diaw get a game for reacting as teammates SHOULD!? Bullshit. Now bitch at a ref every fucking time about the same thing does deserve a T, but showing heart should NEVER warrant that.

i agree...i think unfortunately thats a little bit of overpoliceing (sp?) by David Stern to attempt to improve the league's image

6/1/2007 1:02:47 AM

I liked how Anderson Varejao is so used to flopping that he attempted to draw a charge/flop when his own teammate ran into him one time.

6/1/2007 1:05:25 AM

there is no reason for lebron james to get every fucking call at age 22

the league hands the "chosen" players greatness with non-calls and overall lax officiating

6/1/2007 1:05:42 AM

he didnt really get any calls in games 1 or 2

and tonight he was making crazy shots, not relying on free throws

i think its been pretty clear throughout the series that players like (specifically) wade, kobe and billups get more calls than lebron BECAUSE he's only 22

tonight he was just in the zone

6/1/2007 1:06:46 AM

the play that changed everything was the "foul" where he picked up his dribble and tried to jump around a piston and fell to the floor whining about his back


that should have been a no call and gave the cavs the game

6/1/2007 1:08:24 AM

he subconsciously morphed into wise Lebron

"OH! I done hurt my back again!"

Um, college basketball did exist in the fall of 93 through the spring of 95, where were you. Cantread Wallace was one of the only players in UNC history Dean was glad to see get out of town early.

^i'm just saying whining happens in all sports on all levels

lebron scores 29 of the cavs' last 30 points yet one call "gave the cavs the game"?

6/1/2007 1:16:19 AM

Lebron = Crosby

6/1/2007 1:16:59 AM

^^ you did watch the game right?

if that is a no call like it should have been. DET has the ball and is up by 2 with 30secs left

6/1/2007 1:17:57 AM

i cant think of the exact play you're referring to...but you cant just blame one call for a whole game...especially with 30 seconds left...not like it was on a buzzer shot...but still, every single game of the series has been close and i expect game 6 and 7 (if necessary) to also come down to the wire

6/1/2007 1:20:39 AM

any team that calls Cantread Wallace one of their own deserves to be hosed in a deciding game of a 7 game series, too bad Detroit wasn't hosed tonight, maybe in game 6 in Cleveland it will happen

6/1/2007 1:22:39 AM

Lebron gets hacked a lot around the basket. That one foul at the end of the 4th might not have been the best call, but it's not like DWade last year. Earlier in the 4th, he got hacked by Sheed and they called it a block.

Bitching about 1 call is petty when there were several questionable no-calls in this game and previous games.

6/1/2007 1:29:27 AM

especially since lebron was pretty much UNCONSCIOUS during the 4th quarter and the overtimes

6/1/2007 1:30:05 AM

Lebron deserved every call he got this game. Especially after the game 2 horse shit. Rasheed throws Varejao to the ground then Hamilton essentially achieves "full guard" on Lebron on the drive.

Go Cavs!!!
