The Cavs biggest problem is that nobody is knocking down shots but Lebron. It's like the 2005-2007 Cavs all over again. Lebron has to go back into video
game mode and hold onto the ball for 18 seconds before making a move. That was never a healthy offense. Not sure why Williams and West are having so much
trouble shooting but the Cavs aren't going to beat Orlando if those two can fix whatever is wrong.

I should also add that it sucks because when those two can actually hit shots, Orlando can't touch Cleveland. See the lead they built in game 2 for proof
of that.

that 6th tech was a bullshit tech. these refs are so goddamn abysmal its hards to watch a game. you can't celebrate a tough and 1 anymore? the nba has
gotten so soft its ridiculous. big east games are more manly than this bullshit. talking shit and flexing on dudes is part of the game so long as its not over
the top.
and goddamn do i hate the fucking the between quarter interviews - does the league require the coaches to do these or something? if i was a player or a coach i would tell craig sager to fuck the fuck off. in other news, its refreshing to be watching some solid basketball in both of these series. |

the NBA is a JOKE, they'd be better off with no officials and just calling fouls themselves

no kidding. the cavs got the worst of it just now. Varejao got called for his sixth foul when he was watching the play. should've been a foul on lebron or
a jump ball.

i thought both those calls (the 3 and the jump ball) were alright. officiating is / was awful though.
i just can't believe how awful the cavs are shooting the ball. mo and delonte were 0-6 on threes. if either of them shot like they have all year, the cavs would be up 3-1 instead of down. the looks are there, they just can't buy a shot. |

The most glaringly obvious non call was the illegal screen Dwight Howard threw to free up Lewis for that last three in regulation. Howard gets away with as many blatant fouls as anyone in the league. That being said, why the fuck would Mike Brown not tell Lebron to take it straight at Howard to get him fouled out? Coach of the Year my ass.

there is no way they would even call the illegal screen but it definitely happened. not running lebron at howard as soon as he got his 5th was pretty stupid.
the cavs have crumbled against their first challenge in the playoffs. what else should i have expected as a cleveland fan though? standing tall against
adversity is definitely not a cleveland sports trait.
congrats to the magic for being a tougher and more mentally prepared team in this series...yes i am conceding defeat in the series. hopefully the cavs dont just lie down thursday but we havent been able to win in orlando all year, therefore, series over

Yeah I definitely meant to preface that post by saying no way can you call that screen, but it was so blatant it was ridiculous. It wasn't just that
though, the guy gets away with murder underneath. Can't say the Cavs really deserved that one though, with the tactical decisions they made.

Good non-call at the end of regulation. Varejao just stood there once the ball was up, Howard tried to jump around him and then pulled him down. Bad non-call
on Howard throwing Delonte West down at the end of regulation.
Wallace has to run through that screen as hard as he can. it looked like he half assed it. Magic can't stop Dwight Howard inside. and LeBron shouldnt have need Mike Brown to tell him to go at Howard. LBJ is the MVP of the league and he should have known what to do. I cant believe Lewis hit that fucking shot. horrendous call on Varejao for his 6th foul. Ref was standing right in front of the play and made the 100% wrong call. Varejao wasn't even involved. And LeBron played sloppy as shit in the 4th quarter, almost like he tried too hard to create plays, when he should have just kept the ball to himself. For some reason, i just dont like the Magic. I'm actually starting to dislike Dwight Howard. |

Can't say it enough. All the Cavs need to do to win is actually make shots. Their complete and inexplicable missed shots are ridiculous. If they hit shots
like they have ALL YEAR, they are winning these games by 10 points. It's absolutely retarded. Mo Williams all of a sudden can't make a 3. Delonte
isn't hitting his 3's but at least he's driving and making things happen.
