Bad officiating in CLE tonight

3 BS fouls on the bulls big men (2 on Miller, 1 on Noah) trying to guard Shaq. Non-calls, in my opinion. Total crap-- can't have the Cavs going to six games, I guess...

Watching as well, very poor. Bulls playing solid defense against Shaq, what they are calling are "ghost" fouls.

and what was that call? ROSE WAS IN THE ACT!!

Sad

and there ya go. Cleveland is getting them. That's such BS

The one on Miller should have been an offensive foul on Shaq.
The Noah call was the right call. You have to play smarter against Shaq. When he barrels into you the first time, you should hit the floor.
If Chicago wins today, they need to fly in Vlade Divac to show their bigs how to flop and get the call.
That should have been continuation for Rose.

An absolutely terrible call. Worst of all was tha it was initially ruled an "and 1" (as it should have been). Taking those two points (and potentially three points) away made a gigantic difference at the end. Would have been a whole different game at the end if the Bulls had those points.

And the BS +1s that LBJ wE getting made me sick. Terribly called game.


Interestingly, LBJ has no problem shaking hands when his team wins.

What a spoiled brat. I hope the Cs kick their asses into the river that burns.

bsky,

That was a real turning point in the game. Miller fouling out was another. Bulls had a real good chance of taking it. This was no doubt "a home game"

No kidding. The bulls couldn't so much as breathe too close to Lebrn and the whistle blew. Hate to see the calls go to the favorite... kind of bugs me.

Well, get used to it. Come Saturday and we'll see it in all possible forms. On top of that we'll see award winning performance of AV.

if Richardson wants to see actresses, then he ought to go to Cleveland!
Bron will fall at the slightest (if any) contact going to the hoop. And AV will plead every call on EVERY Cav with hands outstretched and palms upward!

Should be fun!

The King acted like a Drama Queen with his arm situation.
If he was hurt that bad, why keep him in the game for the last 7 seconds when they were up by 4?
I think that left handed free throw was for his legacy.
"Remember when I had to shoot that free throw left handed?".........

If Bron doesn't put up 40/12/8, they are ripe for the picking.

TJ,

That's a little like saying if Magic had never played for the Lakers, they would have lost a lot more games. lol.

Sam

As shown by last night game, Kobe doesn't have to fill up the box score for LA to win. LeBron does. His supporting cast is better but still suspect in my opinion.

Hi,
I agree with TJ. IMO, Cavs, unlike any other team, depend on their superstar. Not even LAL.

For the ones who watched the Cavs/Bulls game last night, this should make us all feel better. This is unbelievable!

Isnt Joey Crawford the guy you never ever argue with too?

Joey Crawford is a God amongst men, guys, really. I understand that the officials make mistakes, but this guy is really, really good. He's one of the most experienced, well taught NBA officials, and I'm getting really sick of all the criticism surrounding him (confusion regarding this call is especially annoying). Marcus Camby was clearly using telekinesis to remotely condition Nash's hair-- obviously a violation of recent rule changes to discourage the use of hair products during the playoffs. Anyone who can't see that obvious fact has no business commenting on the goings-on of the NBA.
