    Lol. Yes there is. For some reason they don't enforce it well when it comes to the donkey...

    There were a lot of bad calls and honestly I thought a majority were against the Cavs.
    Somethings I don’t understand though, how come some things get techs and others don’t.
    That thing with T Thomspon at the end was a regular foul, was it a frustration foul (yes!), but it wasn’t a flagrant and definitely not a flagrant 2. But Then Draymond taunts the guy escalates the whole thing and I don’t believe he got anything.
    In terms of the block charge, live it looked like a block to me, it looked like Lebron was sliding in after KD had started to go up, but the replay made it look a lot closer and I think charge was the right call. So how they started with a charge and then REVERSED it, I don’t get that, it was close but had they called a block and said there wasn’t “evidence” to reverse it, I could have bought that. However to reverse the right call just was weird.
    I know dviss1 told me I shouldn’t watch the NBA for good officiating and I realize every game he’s right about that. It’s the finals though and this game was full of inconsistent calls, bad calls, and some strange ones.
    Anyways, even after all that how in the world does JR Smith not know what’s going on at that point in the game...?

    I watched the last 2 minutes of OT in passing at the gym. 2 more minutes than I planned on watching. And it was boring.

    Oh c'mon Bones, don't be that guy. It was a great game until OT.

    Whoa, ESPN is saying Love left the bench at the end. I haven't seen a good replay of it but they have to suspend him if he did. Talking about pouring salt in the wounds of a terribly officiated game.

    They gave up in OT...getting to OT was a really good game except for the idiotic blunder by JR Smith with a chance to win it in regulation...Lebron was furious

    Salt on the wound too, did you see the questions they asked Lebron at the end of the game? Like these journalists need checked into a padded room or something? Dude kept asking Lebron what JR smith knew, what JRs mindset was over and over... Yeah cause Lebron can now read minds. Just stupid.

    NBA clearly does not want Lebron to win this NBA finals. They want him to lose and go to LA haha.

    As stated I didn't watch 1 second of the game, but seeing the replay, it was a block, not a charge

    The call itself could be up for debate. He was definitely moving, so a block call is fine. The issue is how it was overturned. They called a charge and he was very clearly out of the restricted area. The refs can only go to review if they think he was in the restricted area, they went to review when it wasn't needed. Once you are at the review, the refs then can determine if the foul call was right and keep it or overturn it. This only applies to the 4th Quarter and last two minutes. There was no reason for them to review in the first place because he was out of the restricted area. It was just weird.

    I just watched the replay. Love was already on the court before the Livingston shot, thinking the game was coming to an end. He didn't go out on the court because of the altercation. This should be nothing, if he gets suspended, it pure BS.

    Yeah I completely disagree.

    He obtained a legal guarding position. He maintained that legal guarding position. Moving is of no circumstance as long as legal guarding position is maintained. Durant clearly went to and through the defender.
