Cleveland had a 17 point lead 2 minutes and 30 seconds ago. It is now a 5 point game, lol.

I do not understand how anyone is surprised when they get called for a foul for not letting a shooter land. It's literally the only "area of focus" that has ever actually been focused on and is consistently called at this point.

Okay I’ll try to simplify further: if a Cavs player touches a raps player on a drive, and gets called for a foul, then if a raps player touches a Cavs player in the exact same way on the exact same drive, it should also be called a foul. Agreed or no?


Sure, but guess what? The refs call a soft foul for LeBron on one play and he gets hacked 2 other plays and there is no foul.

The idea that the inconsistency only goes against Toronto is a figment of your imagination. Stop making excuses and being emotional.


Okay, so you’re saying that if lebron was ibaka, and lebron was shooting and was hacked and it was called a shooting foul, and Derozan complained, it would also have been reversed. And that’s where you and I differ in opinions.

Lowry is the problem IMO. I honestly don't know what he does really well.


I mean he's one of the best three-point shooters in the league and is above-average at just about everything but sure.

VanVleet is quite the flipper huh? Must have picked it up from Lowry and Derozan.

I honestly don’t believe you know a thing about basketball if that’s the conclusion you’ve come up with.

I think it’s pretty obvious that until there is a leadership turnover on the Raps (Lowry/DD/Casey), they will not beat the Cavs.

The people that have watched these guys all season know this isn’t their game.

LMAO they would never make it out the first round in the West. Lebron owns them but at the same time Derozen and Lowry are not prime time players. They dont have that killer mentality. Anti clutch, give me players like Iggy, Horry, Wall, Korver, Millsap over them. DD arguably the most overrated player in the NBA.

Regardless, James always stays down for way too long when wind hits his head. More calls for James to come.

They can't call a flagrant when there is no review.
