LeBron charged.
George Hill choked. JR is a moron. Tristan Thompson is a punk. Draymond is a clown. And also, despite scoring 51 points, LeBron didn't close out. He hit 13 of his first 16 shots for 36 points through the first 2.5 quarters. Then went 6-16 for 15 points down the stretch. And why the hell was he passing it to George Hill at the end of the game anyway? Take it to the basket. He had a great game, but even he can't will such a sorry ass team to victory. |

Can anyone explain why Tristan Thompson isn't suspended for one game? His foul was downgraded to a Flagrant 1. I was slightly surprised by Kevin Love getting off the hook but I'm absolutely shocked that Thompson isn't being suspended for one game. This is kind of why I'm growing tired of the NBA. Just so many wishy-washy inconsistent rulings that are more about "let's base all of our rulings on how we can make the most money." Part of me feels like it's more NBA meddling to make sure the Cavs don't get humiliated. I just imagine if Draymond shoved a ball in Lebron's face, Draymond would instantly be suspended and it wouldn't be up for debate. So tired of this bullshit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The game was way more physical in Jordan’s day with better rim protectors; due to the style of today’s game, with the floor spread by better perimeter shooting, and the refs more aggressive to calling fouls, Lebron gets an advantage in getting to the rim and getting to the line. Lebron wouldn’t have been nearly as good in Jordan’s era, even though there is arguably more talent now in the current league. It is just a different kind of talent. Today’s league doesn’t center around guarding the paint, or getting to the paint. If Jordan had played in today’s league, with Curry and Thompson able to spread the floor for him, his stats would have been untouchable. We would be saying, “Lebron who? Better than Jordan? Bwahahaha.” Jackson always kept a knock-down three point shooter on Jordan's teams. The bulls played tons of iso with Jordan, just like the Cavs do witn LeBron. LeBron's detractors are apparently stuck with 1998's internet. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Jordan was not a "lights out shooter." Jordan's career three-point percentage is 32.7, James's is 34.4. Jordan's career two-point percentage is 51, James's is 54.7. For 2018, 32.7% on threes would rank 125th in the league. In 1998, Jordan didn't even attempt enough threes to be ranked. You Jordan guys should stop making stuff up. It detracts from his greatness. |

Quoted: Funny, the old time NBA fans tell me how that was just normal play back in the day. “Hey, that’s the letter of the rules - our hands are tied.” Unless Cleveland needs a chance to avoid humiliation, that is. Dude the NBA already admitted to a missed call that could have hanged the outcome of the game (lane violation) Not to mention the numerous other debated fouls called It didn’t affect the outcome of the play as the Cavs still got the rebound and it didn’t make George Hill miss the shot. I understand they “said” it was a lane violation but that is miscalled all the time....as in “they don’t call it”. To me that is a no harm no call type of play. Almost like in baseball if there is obstruction by a fielder. The umpire holds his arm out and if it affects the play, then they call it. If not, the play stands...only call the violation if Green gets the rebound or boxes out for another GSW to get it. The Cavs got it so no call. |

I understand the rule that GH would be a “entitled” to another shot (some people’s favorite word) but it didn’t cause him to miss and the Cavs got the rebound so play on. To me that is a no harm no call type of play. Almost like in baseball if there is obstruction by a fielder. The umpire holds his arm out and if it affects the play, then they call it. If not, the play stands...only call the violation if Green gets the rebound or boxes out for another GSW to get it. The Cavs got it so no call. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: The rules state he would have been entitled to another free throw if they called th lane violation, though, and right? But no one ever calls lane violations in the NBA. That would have been chicken shit. |
