Refs cost us this game

[capstone21]

It is amazing all these phantom calls that James is getting. Tony Brothers is terrible.

I am tired of Superstars getting calls while lesser players do not.

What a bs win for Cleveland tonight.

[DrReality]

That is the norm. I think it sucks, but that's how the treat the King. One point?

[mrhonline]

Yep, a foul called when LeBron initiates the contact.

NBA - Where Superstar Calls Happen.

(And people wonder why the U.S. team struggles vs. good teams in international competition).

[Chris18]

Ref bailed LeBron out on that shot.

[TanAdam]

Not going to say that refs coat us the win, but not calling a foul on Joes drive to the basket on the second to last possession was absurd. Especially with lebron getting the same call on the other end next trip down.

And Mo Williams is a homo.

[capstone21]

It is frustrating how bad they are.

That was definitely true. LeBron got a crazy amount of phantom calls tonight...but it's the NBA, you gotta live with it. Still lame.

[Eddielives]

Why don't they just let the guys play to decide the game. I mean unless it is obvious as hell, don't make the call. How much more fun would it be to watch these games if the players actually determined the outcome instead of ticky tack calls by refs.

why do we have to live with it?

Its wrong. Players should be on an even level if you are a rookie, a 12th man or a superstar

[DrReality]

JJ has never gotten equal calls. I bet you could go through that tape and find a dozen calls that could have made the difference.

But in the end we showed our stuff tonight on national TV. No reason to hang our heads.

[tgunzz]

Heywood Workman's payback!

Its true he didn't which sucks but still all players should be on an even level

I kinda said it with a sarcastic tone. Doesn't translate too well on the internet, lol.

But yeah, it is ridiculous. You don't call that foul at the end of a game.

[MrRyda]

The announcers were biased too. We'll never got Lebron-esque love.

[NJHAWK]

Lebron is king of espn thats about it. That dyed blonde chick calling the game sounded like she wanted to give him heead.

You get calls by attacking the rim. That's why I called out Flip's number in the chatroom on the inbound.

They should have given the ball to someone who could get in the lane and draw contact with 1.6 left.

[mrhonline]

I'm not sure that's enough time for anyone other than LeBron to get in the lane and draw a foul, gsu...

They could have decapitated Flip and he would not have gotten a call there at the end. That game was decided by a horrible foul call at the end, pretty simple. Drive or no drive it wasnt a foul and there should have been ot. Now we did blow the lead so we dug our own grave.

[tonegully]

We just got raped. That was a bullsh*t call. How can Lebron take that call he should be ashamed of himself and that win.

Unfortunately that looked like a nba special right there. I don't think anyone on our team could have gotten a foul with 1.6 seconds. JJ had more contact on his drive and he didn't initiate it.
