Stern has briefed the refs

[NineOhTheRino]

James had 23 points, nine boards and seven assists, but he missed 10 of 17 shots (taking, and missing, just one 3-pointer), and he coughed up four turnovers.

Also, highlight this:

Antawn Jamison is now, after a 1-for-3 night on Wednesday, 28-of-62 from the free throw line as a Cavalier. That's 45 percent. Something weird is up.

The Cavs hit 21 more free throws than the Bucks, and I'm sorry, but they earned those 45 attempts. And the Bucks earned those nine free throw attempts. Spun away from context, sure, it appears as if the Bucks got a raw deal. But that isn't the case. The Cavaliers drive and get hit. The Bucks work the drive and kick game. Not the drive and get-slapped game.

Which shouldn't take away from a brilliant game. Loved this one, and would dearly appreciate it if it showed up in the Eastern Conference semifinals about five weeks from now.

that's 45 to 9..... :help wanted3:

Hawks are in for a uphill battle this time

That should be "the Cavs drive with their heads down and initiate all contact with zero intention of actually making baskets."

The Cavs get to play by a different set of rules. This isn't news anymore.
