Agreed

Not to beat a dead horse, but this was the kind of game we could have used a player like Lou Williams and his ability to create his own shot or draw a foul and get to the FT line...

Also, what was the point trading away Adreian mid-season in a year we're making a Finals push and not replacing him with NBA talent?

You don't expect them to call that foul on King James do you? I was complaining about it in the Conf finals last year, he gets the calls every time.

Matthew Dellavedova legs locks Gibson get''s him thrown out...He chops blocks korver, injures him for the series....then he does the same EXACT thing to Horford and gets him thrown out the game...He grabbed Teague by the foot and tries to trip him, no foul...Since when did he start getting the superstar treatment from refs? I wonder what will happen when tries to take out Steph Curry or Klay Thompson?

Coach Bud hasn't impressed me at all this playoffs. There have been times where he looks completely puzzled and on the verge of tears. Not a good sign for a leader.

You sure about that? This video shows what happened pretty clearly…

And Teague has been pulling $hit like this in the video below all series. Inexcusable.

Can't say I'm surprised to see you're a Bulls fan.

People can't lay this on Bud's door. The problems are injuries and a flat Hawks team, and Lebron is awesome.

Something to remember about signing a center to play 20mpg when the Hawks go big; if the Hawks sign someone who expects to start, they can't do it until after they re-sign Milsap (who will want to start). That makes it a tough hole to fill quickly. Might need to revisit it during the season, or next offseason.

he was flopping into horford...hand to body contract happens in basketball, you'd think you'd know that watching Lebron push people over while running through picks.. i don't believe he is that physically weak that he can be "pulled down" by horford's hand laying on his bicep...when the TNT broadcast team starts questioning whether a player is dirty because he is constantly instigating stuff you know somethings up...no stupid grainy, whinny voice videos for his leg lock on gibson and chop block on korver? I suppose all these are just coincidences...the guys dirty and gets the benefit of the doubt because he's on Lebron team....You should just be happy that Cleveland get's the benefit of calls and no call (and pretend time outs) every game, instead of making stupid videos to cover for a player who is clearly dirty...because if people made videos pointing out what was and wasn't called on the Cavs in this years play offs they'd shut down youtube's bandwidth...

Horford was grappling with Della, no question. But the idea Della was forced into Horford's legs because of Horford's grappling earlier is ridiculous. I looked at several angles, and he clearly seems to propel his body towards Horford's legs. Not necessarily to hurt him, but certainly to try and take him out of the play.

So I just saw that Teague elbowed Deli during the game, and I have to say, that was a dirty play.

Anyways, who do you think Dellelledova will go after next? If he goes after Carroll's injured legs, I'd love to see the Cleveland bandwagoners try to defend his honor.

Post #434 » by **dms269** » Mon May 25, 2015 1:45 pm

The churning of his legs and propulsion back into Horford's ankle is all on Delly. They were wrapped up.

Delly also had that horrible flop on a legal pick earlier by Bazemore. You also had JR elbowing Bazemore in the mouth, which was called a looseball foul. You have Lebron laying on the floor jawing at the refs which should have been a tech. You also have LeBron picking DMC up on a pick DMC was setting.

Delly has a history recently on going after people's legs. Horford got tired of it happening and it not being called so he decided to take matters into his own hands. If the refs aren't going to call the cheap shots then the game is going to get out of hand. Atlanta has nothing to loose this next game.

Windhorst is more of a LeBron stalker than that guy who says he is one who predicted Lebron would be great when he was an infant.

Teagues elbow didn't make contact with dellelledova. He just threw his head back. Come on man, you think he took a elbow to the face and didn't react more than that? He flails on the floor with legal contact.

What I've noticed on the GB is that 80% of the Dellaledova defenders are Cleveland fans (who suspiciously didn't exist between 2010 and 2014). Everyone else seems to think that he's a dirty player. And somewhat unrelated, but I wouldn't have called a foul on Lebron on that last play of regulation. The refs don't call ANYTHING on the final play (example being the final 10 seconds of game 4 between the Bulls and Cavs).

And finally, people like to say how physical and tough 80's ball is, and how Dellaledova would've fit right in. So basically, the majority of 80's ballers were cheap shot artists who tried to injure other players, according to the Cavs apologists.

There was also when Bron got a rebound and started swinging his arms around with high elbows.

Delly is also on the one who completely oversold the Bazemore pick earlier.

I honestly hope that Horford's only regret is that he didn't make better contact with the elbow. You can't let Dellevadova keep getting away with deliberately trying to injure players.
