A hypocrite should get called on being a hypocrite every time.

Agreed. But he was probably just frustrated after a long a--- game of Big 12-esque officiating. I could see where the frustration is coming from, and I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Cant make a living on ghost calls and then get mad when things dont go your way.

He was legit throwing a fit out there two seconds before he hit the game winner. Cringeworthy stuff.

"Make a living on ghost calls"

Every NBA player benefits on ghost calls. Lebron went to the FT line 2 times the entire game.

 

May 11, 2015

Oh no was he like everyone else tonight? like a normal guy? must have been why he was throwing a b---- fit.

I didnt say he gets every single call meat head, but ive been watching him benefit from BS calls for years. So no NOBODY benefits from ghost calls like Lebron does. Saying "well everyone benefits from them" is a joke.

Hes just so used to getting his way that he cant handle it when he doesnt.

d---, hurt much? People act like Lebron is the only person to complain about calls. Jordan did it in his prime. There were plenty of times where Kobe wouldn't talk to the media after a close loss because he felt the refs missed a call. Those charges could have went either way but 2 of them were pretty questionable. I'm not saying it's right, but pretty petty to complain about.

Durant and Harden are 2 superstars that benefit from exaggerated contact or ghost calls. If anything we should be blaming the refs who can't swallow the whistle. 70% of the fouls they call nowadays are BS.

 

May 11, 2015

Hurt about what? lol.

I dont think anyone acts like Lebron is the only person to complain about calls, but for a guy who gets so many calls its embarrassing for him to be bitching like he does and calling out other ppl for flopping when he is the king of that s---. And in what universe is Lebron running over Dunleavy (when he is clearly trapped) not a blatant charge?

Was at my grandmothers for mothers day and everyone laughed out loud at the little b---- fit where he throws his hands in the air, thats his go to move and its just so cringe-worthy and over the top.

how does Dwight Howard only score 7 pts in a playoff game? He's a cornerstone for that team

I realize ppl have off games, but his offensive production just isn't consistent enough to get Houston where they wanna go

 

May 11, 2015

i agree with @redsoxx. Maybe there are a few other superstars that whine when they don't get a call but Lebron has to be the worst. It is just about everytime he drives and doesnt get a call he is throwing his hands up looking for something. As redsoxx said, he is so used to getting the calls he can't stand it when he doesnt get them.

3-1 for the Clippers. Series will end sooner than I thought

 

May 11, 2015

I mean it was a great shot by Lebron no doubt, but the refs pretty much gave them a timeout with that review, added 0.7 to the clock, and watched Blatt literally walk to the 3 point line & call a timeout?? Ridiculous. God forbid the poster boy go down 3-1 in a series. Should have been a tech, 1 free throw and possession to the Bulls.

 

May 11, 2015

See the thing about the last "timeout" that the refs gave the Cavs is that that s--- happens all of the time. Nothing is different from the past. And it's not like Blatt drew up some miraculous play. LeBron literally ran to the corner with no screens or anything and Butler was sleeping and got there late. Noah also gave Tristan Thompson a bear hug during the shot which could've been called. Refs also miss coaches calling timeouts all the time too. I haven't missed a Heat game in 5 years now and I've seen these situations numerous times.

I didn't catch the Clippers/Rockets game last night, but it sounds like the hack-a-shaq strategy isn't worth it. They're still losing by 30 points lol. Clippers are about to make their first WCF in franchise history. This would also be a good time to bring up this funny Shaq tweet:


No John Wall for the Wizards tonight, which sucks a---. I love watching him play.

 

May 11, 2015

I agree with you, but you can't miss that call in that situation, especially in the playoffs. I've never seen a coach go onto the floor and motion for a timeout, and not get it. As far as the extra timeout, I was more upset that they added time on the clock after the review. The ball bounced inbounds, and floated around before hitting the ground. Should have been about .5-.8 left.

Thibs also suggested today that if they stop play for a review, if you want to huddle you have to use a timeout. So everyone stays on the floor until the review is finished.

Anyways, the real reason the Bulls lost that game is because they struggled to score in 2 key stretches in the 1st & 2nd half. Thibs is not creative at all on offense, we always seem to be shooting contested looks with seconds remaining on the shot clock. Not to mention Noah blowing layup after layup.

For tonight, I think GS & ATL pick up W's. Warriors have been struggling but I think they can adjust and get their offense going by playing Steph off the ball and letting him work around off ball screens while Iggy runs the point.

 

May 11, 2015

I THANK YOU for being the ONLY Bulls fan I know to understand the circumstances... (Where I'm from, most of them are super biased and clueless) It's not like the refs screwing up caused Chicago the game. I agree that the rule needs to be changed. I don't think it's fair that they got to huddle up, but a rule is a rule. I think they may have given the Cavs a little bit more time because of the missed call on the Noah foul at the end. The more I look at the play, a no call may have been right anyways tho. I'm trying to put myself in a ref's shoes.

And about the timeout that wasn't called. I think the refs knew that neither team had a timeout so all of their focus/attention was dedicated to the court. Maybe they noticed that Lue was screaming NO NO NO at Blatt as he tried calling it and decided to give them a break too. IDK. What I do know is, like I said a few posts before, is that refs are humans and they will make mistakes. Unless I see Tim Donaghy out there running up and down the court, I'm gonna trust that the NBA has the best possible refs out there doing their job.

Pierce is destroying from 3 pts

 

May 11, 2015

Teague just finished off the Wizards, series tied 2-2. I wonder if Wall comes back next game even though his hand is pretty f----- and he probably shouldn't be playing. Hopefully this series goes 7.

 

May 11, 2015

Well I was wrong, it wasn't over.

Pierce missed a huge shot he'd mostly hit and Wizards got screwed on a bad call after that, could have got another chance to tie it.

 

May 12, 2015

Thanks man, I think most fans just look at the loss and need something to blame it on, so end of game drama is usually the target. Anybody watching that game saw all the chances the Bulls had to finish them. I just hope they somehow pull out the win tonight and come back home up 3-2. They are more than capable, even with Pau out, since I don't see Kyrie or Shump getting healthier anytime soon.

 

May 12, 2015

Cavs have really been in control the whole game other than the 1st quarter. Bulls are keeping it close enough to stay in it though at least for now.

 

May 12, 2015

Lol, leg lock and a kick. Gibson will probably get ejected, cavs guy might too.
