<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Cavsrules @ Feb 2 2007, 06:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm not blaming the refs for this loss, but what I am trying to say is going 23-24 is seriously ridiculous. The Cavaliers should of kept LeBron and Hughes out of the game. They had a lead of 4 when the 4th started(I believe) and the bench took it up to 12. Then James came in, and the blew it. The Cavaliers problem is, they wait and see what James is going to do with the ball, and no one else does anything. Gibson should run the point, and James should move without the ball. Easy as that. But, nope. Mike Brown is the worst coach I have ever seen. I may being say that out of the fact I am pissed at him, or I might be saying it because it is so dam true.Please don't go there with James getting some calls. He got a few, true, but thats understanding. Wade on the other hand kept on getting a call 24/7, the Heat should of let the guy go to the rim every time they had the ball, Wade might of got 100 points at the end of the game. Honestly, I'm not blaming Wade, I'm not blaming the refs. But I am very pissed at Mike Brown, and the way LeBron couldn't hit 3 free bees in the clutch time of the ball game. The Cavaliers had this game, they just didn't finish it.</div>I agree with most of what you said, but Wade deserves the fouls he got. He scored 24pts in the last 10min of the game, went 6-6 in that span, hit all but one of his free throws, and all but one trip to the line he deserved. He attacked as hard as you will see him, and the only way for the Cavs to stop him was to foul. Cavs blew the game defensively, you can't let Wade score 24pts in the final 10min of the game. He not only hit free throws and layups, but also jumpers that could have been contested a lot better. He shouldn't be able to recieve the ball that much in the final quarter (Mavs did a good job of this a few weeks back). I'd be pissed as hell if I were you.
I'm very, very up set we let this game get away from us. Our back ups had this game in the bag, but for some reason Mike Brown brought back in a few starters, and we went down hill.Wade is going to get his points, he is going to get fouled a lot of the times, but so do so many other NBA Players. You can't sit there and tell me that he should of got every single one of those calls. Almost every time a player drives, there is a foul. The refs were simply being VERY nice.
Wade drove relentlessly almost everytime. Everytime a foul was called it was justified, it was not the touch fouls that he usually gets. He also hit jumpers, and went 6-6 in the 4th quarter. They gave Lebron far more leeway with those 2 fouls that should have went against Bron instead of for him.
Wade took over in the 4th, and had a hell of a game. The reason I am upset, is because people think Hughes did a bad job on Wade. Wade had 11 TO's, and Hughes striped him 3 times. The 1st Half, Hughes really made him work for his points.Anyway, I don't think no one, and I mean no one could of stopped Wade in the 4th. Even with the 23-24 from the line, he took over in the 4th.
He could have been slowed down. They could have made it tougher for him to get the ball and force him to take jumpers. And Hughes did a good job on him through the first three, but in 4th it had to be a team effort, and it just didn't happen.
