Am I the only one who finds it completely ludicrous that people are actually criticizing LeBron for passing up the shot and dishing to Marshall at the end of that game yesterday? I mean, no matter what LeBron did at the end of the game, as long as the Cavs lost, he was going to be criticized. If he takes the shot and misses, it means he should have passed. If he passes and his teammate misses, he should have shot. Let's not forget that LeBron was an assist shy of a triple double yesterday and though he only had 10 points, he helped his team in other ways.

It was a great pass and he was open, that said. They pay LeBron that huge contract to take and make that shot.

That's why LeBron passed the other night. And again they have a wide open look for the win and they can't convert.

 

Hughes is bunk. But hell, if that's not a foul then we may as well call it Lions vs. Browns and collect for PSLs.

NBA officiating is a travesty to the sporting world.

 

I don't think anything can be worse than the shaft that the Mavs got last year, but yeah, apparently Lebron wasn't going to draw a foul on that play unless someone actually stabbed or sodomized him. The NBA sucks.

I couldn't help myself... I stayed up all night pretty much making this video about Lebron's decision to pass...

the shaft the Kings got vs the Lakers a few years back is probably only matched by the 1972 Olympics fiasco.

 

and it wasn't just the non call on Detroit hacking Lebron, it was the blatant push off on the other end by Wallace that allowed the Pistons to take the lead. the Cavs should have been shooting lead extending free throws, not watching the Pistons hackathon on Labron continue.

The Kings still had Game 7 though in which they weren't screwed in the least. I'll give you the questionable calls in Game 6 that helped the Lakers win that game, but the Kings came back in Game 7 in Arco and flat out choked, namely 16-30 on free throws. That was nowhere near as bad as what happened to the Mavs last year. The Kings got screwed out of one game whereas the Mavs got screwed out of at least two.

As if the officiating isn't bad enough, the resulting flood of ridiculous excuses the commentators and analysts make for it afterwards magnifies the horror by like 10 times.

I guarantee that the Cavs will win tonight. It's virtually a sure thing just like Utah winning last night was.

 

Agreed. Game 4 will be extremely important in both series, but the home teams are/were going to win game 3.

Varajeo got mugged, cut up, and hit in the head all in one play there. Ridiculous.

 

And it was a shot clock violation. Hilarious.

Is there any doubt LeBron's the best player in the NBA? Jeez, he hit about 8 shots that had no business going in in the 4th quarter/OTs alone.

 

That was an "I'm Keith Hernandez" moment. LeBron was just throwing whatever up and it was going in. I couldn't believe some of the shots he got to go down. There were a couple in there that when he let them go, I just shook my head but then they went in.

 

I still don't think this series is over because those shots aren't going to continue falling. The Pistons did hold him to 19 points through three quarters.

They are at the same point they were in last year. The next win they get is the toughest. I hope LeBron can do it. Oh and Cleveland might want to think about getting some kind of post player.
