There was obvious contact on 3 of PP's drives, 2 of Allen's drives, all of Big Baby's inside shot attempts and no calls.....mean while the C's get called for contact initiated by the Cavs defenders.
Besides the occasional drive to the basket by Pierce, no one else is attacking the basket. Pierce has a hard time getting by Lebron because for a change the other guy is stronger than Pierce.
As far a Ray Allen, Ray doesn't drive to the basket. I don't know what you are talking about when you refer to "2 of Allen's drives." Ray Allen didn't drive to the basket, it was more like a slow walk.
I agree that Baby got fouled. But Baby wasn't driving to the basket. He was being hand fed around the basket and putting up weak stuff. The refs aren't going to call does kind of fouls on the road, especially in a playoff game. But had those game been in Boston, Baby would have gone to the line about 6 times.
Pierce was the only one attacking the rim but one he got there is was weak at finishing. That is why he had 13 FT attempts and 69 points.
Also think about this. We missed 15 straight shots at one point in the game. The 16th attempt that went in was a shot by Allen on a putback 2 feet away from the basket.
