I retract me quoting a compliment to Larry Hughes. He sucks hard. What a complete waste. 4pts tonight.

i would fire my head coach for that.

*oh, and lebron was def fouled.

[/ QUOTE ]

when he reaches MJ status, yeah, he'll call that.

Otherwise, great no call. Rip had position, didn't move his arms. Lebron made the contact.

Nice shot Larry.

[/ QUOTE ]

you can not be serious, he was fouled multiple times in the deciding play of the game and you think that was a good no call?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm rooting for the Cavs, no way you call a foul on that last play. If there is a foul to be called there, then you can call a foul on just about every play in the NBA. Incidental contact between two guys, Rip extends his arms and although not perfectly vertical, there is no effect on the shot whatsoever. Maybe MJ gets that call, but he shouldn't.

I hate this [censored].

It's probably a foul at other stages of the game, and probably never gets called at the end of a game. Maybe it should be, but if the NBA is going to "let things go" at the end of a game, there's no point in changing it right now, and this fits the bill of things they let go.

As a Pistons fan, not very pleased with the performance so far, and quite impressed with the Cavs' D.

Maybe you can not call the shooting foul, but that wasn't some ticky-tack handcheck early in the drive. That was a no doubter that gets called if A) It wasn't the end of a game or B) The game is in Cleveland.

Uh, what? I'm not saying it was definitely NOT a goal tend, but it was really close. I don't think it reached its peak yet (though it might have been in the cylinder). However, I think refs often call goaltending when the ball has been off the hand for a bit. It's a really hard call and I don't hate it there.

And a finger roll isn't necessarily just a drop into the basket dude. You can flip it up off your fingers. I don't need a physics lesson. I don't even think his hand was above the rim when he released, though I'd have to see a replay (none online yet, cuz that play will definitely be in the highlights).

[Spellmen]

Only Wade gets that call on the last play (and I like Wade). Good no call

[Fallen Hero]

if that's not a foul then we don't need referees in the nba, everything over that is pretty [censored] blantant. BTW, I'm not a Cavs fan, I'm just pissed off.

the first arm extension by rip was a foul (on the floor at the beginning of drive) no doubt. the rest was fine for the situation. regardless, and especially given the way the series has gone, lbj cannot expect to get calls. even if he is too dumb to realize this mb needs to set him straight. it should not take too much pattern recognition.

wow that was too long for something that i dont care about. the point of my post should only include one point. when sheed drove on the breakaway and lbj was the only one left. he needs to clean sheeds clock there. im fairly sure they win the series if he just clobbers him. all series the nickel and dime lbj and sometimes outright mug him and he gets a free shot at their real leader and just falls back. cavs are soft and will lost for that reason.
