LeBron's block of Rose is so [expletive] epic. He's basically stalking him like a shark the whole time.

I know he got Gibson in the first half, was there another one? Those chase down blocks may be my favorite thing to see LeBron do.

Yeah, basically a chase down of Rose. He's just locked on Rose down the length of the court and then he just pounces.

I'm tired of "waiting for Bulls players to earn their foul calls". Hinrich has been in the league for 5 or 6 years and can still get completely mugged in the lane with no foul called on him

 

Does Hinrich really deserve foul calls? All he does is whine and complain. If I were a ref, I wouldn't give him any call just because of that.

 

when he drives the lane and gets thrown to the floor without a call, he has every right to whine and complain

 

The problem is he complains about every little thing. I guarantee you that he'd get the benefit of the doubt if he knew how to quiet his mouth.

 

By that logic LeBron, Wade and every other superstar should never get calls either. Rasheed Wallace would go years in between shooting FTs.

 

Yeah cause Kirk Hinrich sure is comparable to LeBron, Wade, and Rasheed.

Rose shooting 2 FTs was a tragedy.

 

Refs need to blow the whistle in game 2.

Then VDN needs to pull a Phil Jackson and criticize the refs publically. IMO, that's the only way you are going to get the refs to give Rose some calls.

Del Negro will get fined and they'll swallow the whistle even more.

[SpongeWorthy]

Del Negro should've been whining about the refs for months now. Noah spoke up yesterday, justifiably, but every crowd already hates him and they'll be able to sway the refs even more. It's the coach that needs to be out there in the media. Pax should say something too.

 

And of course Reinsdorf would never say anything either.

I would love to hear with VDN or John Paxson say something along the lines of "maybe that referee was right about league wanting certain teams to win, so they control the refs." I know it won't happen, but watching Stern have to answer more questions about his questionable referees would be such a delight.

[Magnetic Curses]

fixing games is against the law. maybe the fcc needs to get involved?

 

but in all seriousness, the games are pretty transparent, the refs don't even try to disguise their actions. and if they don't give him a call or they (gasp) call a foul on him, lebron will just make faces and gesticulate until his clown-ass gets the call.

That's not what he said and you know it. We know you hate Hinrich but that doesn't mean he doesn't get calls that he should and doesn't mean he's the only player to whine about a lack of calls.

The STARS get calls. They should. Jordan got them for years. Rose will in time.

The SHOULD get calls, not GIVEN phantom calls.

I'm enjoying Joakim Noah trolling the NBA: http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/2010/04/chicagos_joakim_noah_spends_a.html

 

Shots at the city of Cleveland and KG. Now play better in game 2 plz.

Can somebody explain the logic that the stars deserve to be officiated differently than everyone else?

That way madness lies.

If you are going to market a star driven entertainment, the stars must prevail.

If you are going to market a star driven entertainment, the stars must prevail.

 

Wouldn't the fact that they are more talented than the rest of the league allow them to prevail without the benefit of biased officiating?

A lot of the time, but not all.

An article describing what the Bulls can do on offense to take advantage of Shaq being on the floor:

[Derwood]

It's amazing how bad the Bulls are at shooting the ball

[Andy]

Rose got crunched by Ilgauskas, no call. Rose in the same bubble as LeBron, foul. I'm wondering how many All-Star teams Rose will have to make before he gets some benefit of the doubt.

The rebounding is there tonight. If we can keep that up and shoot a bit better they could sneak out with a win. Cleveland is making jumpers and the Bulls aren't.

[Andy]

The Bulls really aren't playing that great (apart from Flip, who had a great half), the Cavs are shooting the lights out from 3 and we're only down a pair. I like this.
