GMAB Joe Johnson had a chance to win it at the end of the game and missed the shot. The fouls were actually fairly even 23 to 21. LeBron got a cheapie at the end of the first half but he missed both free throws.

Still completely annoying. Nothing worse than complaining about referees.

Everyone gets it. No one likes NBA referees. Move on.

Yep, that game was a travesty. No consistency. The last whistle for Lebron did come before the contact...and it wasn't even foul-worthy contact. I just can't wait to see what kind of crap they come up with to bail out Cleveland on Friday.

How about that "foul" that ended the first half-----nobody within 2 feet of LeBron---Whistle as the clock expires----Terrible reffing there---he just happened to miss both free throws though

I see how you didn't mention Al Horford blatantly pushing LBJ with no call, or Pachulia blatantly pushing Ilgaulskus....or Z getting robbed of an and-1 on a clear continuation..

Bad calls go both ways, and you have Paul Pierce on your team...how can you honestly complain about officiating? I've watched that guy get ridiculous FT's in the 4th quarter multiple times this year

Wanna see the difference between a million dollar buisness and a thousand dollar one? Just watch the difference between a pro offitiated game and a college officiated game. I don't really think any kind of million dollar buisness can be run honestly, this is the US way.

I saw Mike Bibby swipe at LeBron at the end of the first half. Probably not a foul, but not a travesty either.

You don't think the entire NBA referee system/regulation needs to be revamped?? It is giving me a sour taste in half of the games that I have watched lately.

I agree with Bill Simmons on this issue. They have done absolutely nothing that I have seen since the Donaghy issue. The guy obviously wasn't a rogue official.

I also agree with the guy above me that said you won't see million dollar businesses that aren't corrupt in some way.

Call me a loony for saying this, but it looks to me like they have been trying to get the Cavs and Lakers all the breaks in the world this year to give them HCA for the playoffs so they don't have to go hardcore on the rigging in those series. They want Kobe and Lebron and it makes sense, marketing wise, because they get more money, but they aren't taking into account the complete loss of faith by the fans in the NBA management. This issue really gets to me. It's gross.

Thank You!!!! We hear so much about ratings every year, revenues, it makes me sick to think it is more a buisness than a sport anymore. The integrity of the sport is hurting with all this nonsense!!!!

Well....I HATE the Lakers---and I've seen many of their games---I don't think they've been getting the calls---BECAUSE they don't NEED them to get HCA-----They're going to win the WEST easily

Cleveland has been getting calls ALL YEAR---and Boston has been Screwed out of at least 4 wins by the refs---BECAUSE the league wants Cleveland to have HCA against Boston-----so we ultimately get KOBE vs. LeBron----This IS what has been going on ALL YEAR LONG---!!

and it's OBVIOUS if you've been paying attention all year.......

Oh please, I've watched Boston play in the 4th quarter a lot this year...Pierce gets to the line off of garbage all the time.

True, the Lakers are pretty much going to make it to the Finals as long as they have no more injuries to main guys so there's no need to help them out, unless it's fouling KG out of the game.

That was done for 2 reasons---to help Cleveland gain HCA and give the tiebreaker to the Lakers in case we manage to derail their plans and ACTUALLY get to the Finals.

Remember these games:

1-both LA Games(Christmas game-where we couldn't buy a call) +KG's 6th foul-after nearly getting his forearm hacked off TWICE by Gasol in Boston.
2-last UTAH game
3:Portland 6 guys on court game
4:Golden State Belinelli Flopping all the way to the hall of fame game.

Your conspiracy theory is crazy, and if you really believe it...then you should stick an asterisk next to your title last year, because it was all the league's doing.

Funny, the guy working with Snow on NBA TV just questioned that last drive by LeBron too.
