Anybody else laugh at that "tough" jumpshot that Lebron hit towards the end of the game? The announcers were praising him for making such a tough shot and I was sitting there wondering if anybody would point out that he made it tough on himself by trying act like he got fouled. I didn't think that was a charge at the end, either. But its hard to blame the game on anything towards the end when the C's only started running their offense properly for the last minute or so. There was barely any ball movement for most of the game. I know people have bashed this series, but I love watching the defense. Its been entertaining.

LeBron had no position and was running alongside Pierce, reaching for the ball. The Celtics still deserved to lose, but that call was crap.

Does anybody else wonder why the Cavs start their offensive sets with Lebron handling the ball? It never seemed to lead to any quality looks and almost always took him out of the game as a scoring threat.

Which team you want to win game 7 cpawfan? I know you're not a fan of either team but as a fan of the nba, which team you like more?

This series has been ugly. There's been no offense at all and it's just been a defensive struggle every night. I'll be happy when this series is over, and I hope I won't have to watch this kind of basketball in the East finals. As for LeBron James, I'm not gonna lie, I hate him. I think he's terribly overrated and I really hate watching him play sometimes. He's an enormous crybaby. One example is in the 4th when the officials didn't call a foul on one of his jumpers that he made. You could read his lips after he made the shot when he mouthed the words "and one" because he felt he should have gotten a call. There were other times in the game where he cried like a girl because he didn't get the call or his team didn't get a call. Aside from his whining, I HATE how commentators, as Thrilla said, verbally jack him off all game. I've never seen a player get the kind of media treatment he does. The media acts like he can do no harm at all. It's pathetic. As it is, I'm done ranting now, I just can't stand that piece of garbage.

The more media attention they get, the more leniency they get from the referees, the more they seem to have this whiny, arrogant attitude about them.

You told me I was wrong when clearly the video doesn't support your claim. Go back to what I first said, it was a 50/50 call. I see both sides of it and would rather it had been a no call, but the acting from both sides led to the ball being disrupted.
