Yeah, and it led to 8 turnovers last night when the officials actually called it or made it a no call.

Many of those turnovers were bad passes, not the initiation of contact. He got the benefit of a lot of those calls.

Dwight Howard doesnt get so lucky

No doubt. Lebron certainly gets all the calls, not sure where you thought I wasn't saying that was the case.

It was a horribly reffed game tonight and sadly it was predictable. Wait til tomorrow night if you think this is bad. I wonder how many crab dribbles we will see.

Denver had to play a perfect game tonight regardless of how bad the lakers pplayed. They didnt.

Just like the Lakers had to play a perfect game on Monday night.

The refs have always been horrendous in the NBA. Lets not forget that one of them was busted for fixing games.

True. Sad though. The product has evolved so that it doesnt need to ride one or two stars anymore.

Any series with any of these four teams would make for a great final.

It's all about the dolla dolla bill yall. An Orlando-Denver series would be a ratings disaster.

I still think David Stern would rather walk on the court and shoot Dwight Howard in game 5 than have him play in the finals.

Denver didn't have to play a perfect game, they just had to play a very good one. Unfortunately they showed up and played a really poor one which made things impossible with the officiating. JR Smith had plenty of good looks down the stretch that he choked on like Scuds with Kobe's cock in his mouth. Giving up the 3 point plays when they did and had to know the officials were going to call it was just stupid and then throwing technicals on it was even stupider. I have faith that they'll get it together and win easy in Game 6 and then make it a Game 7 for the ages.

Nuggets will win game 6 (course I thought sure the Celts would win at home, and they didn't.) They need to stop being undisciplined. When thugs act like children, it's just throwing fat in the fire. You saw how Odom seemed to relax when he saw them losing their minds. This has always been a problem for this coach. He lets his players get too much into "them" (instead on concentrating on what they can control.) He needs to be telling everyone to be smarter(not complaining about refs...when you lose by this much..it is more than the refs.)

With Turkoglu playing, you'll see a near infinite amount of crab dribbles. If we're lucky, they'll call one of them, I'm not holding my breath though.

Howard will commit his standard 15 to 20 fouls and everyone will cry like a baby when he actually gets called for his 6th!!

It's all in the eye of the beholder baby on where the conspiracy lies. I know where it lies. Not where everyone thinks it lies. 45 years running??

I find what I read here to be comedy in the highest form. It is beyond comical for me to sit here and read that the league is mandating a Cleveland championship.

I know just like Tuesday night as well. That clear foul by Howard on Varejao with 0.5 second left when he hooked Varejao's arm and pulled him down flopping, begging for the foul. Like when with 6 seconds left after Pietrus bricked the 3 pointer and West had a clear path to the ball and Howard slammed him to the floor denying him, and Orlando got the ball setting up Lewis' three?? Like the clear offensive goaltending call on Howard in the overtime that wasn't called?? You mean horribly reffed games like that??

Yeah, I agree. Bad reffing is in the eye of the viewer. People see what they want to see. You have an agenda watching these games as do I.

What games do you watch dala?? Is my first paragraph really what happened, or am I making stuff up?? You make the call. There are two sides to every story. My side is every bit as legitimate as your made up stuff. There is no league conspiracy, and it galls me to see my team down 3-1 and people still insisting on how one sided the refs call their games because of one player they were fortunate enough to get. It's complete insanity.

You have 7 foot people moving at the speed of light, the refs do the best they can for the most part. I would have huge problems calling an NBA game.

The agenda of many on this thread is to make LeBron James an overrated, league created non-entity not worthy of anything. A horrendous shooting, selfish, moronic un-intelligent basketball player who is handed gifts by the referees every game. The most overrated athlete ever to walk the planet. That is fine. Just realize what it is. Taken at face value it seems pretty silly to me, what is written here. He may be that. For me, he is the best athlete in my lifetime to play for a Cleveland professional team and he pretty much saved the franchise. They were a 17 win team when he got there. Morty would say it is Ilgauskas and Eric Snow and Drew Gooden and Varijao who saved the franchise, I would have to disagree. The team has their best season ever, and I read how it was only because of the referees. It's stupendously insane in my opinion to reason that with any logic or common sense. He gets a call now and then...wow. I mean wow. Never happened before I guess. He's the first one in league history?? OK. There is no league agenda to put Cleveland in the finals. None. If they got there it would be because they got there. Nothing more, nothing less.

Y'all enjoy yourselves. I'm having a great time watching the melt down again. It's lots of fun. And I know if by some incredible happening the Cavs come back and win the series, it won't be because Mo Williams started shooting like Mo Williams or LeBron doing something great, it will be because the refs simply handed it to them. The script is set. They lose, LeBron is a loser, moron who can't play in the clutch or they win and the refs handed it to him. Fun stuff. Can't beat it.

Whine whine whine.

He was handed the chance to force overtime on a very suspect call with 0.5 seconds remaining, when he tripped and charged head first into Mickael Pietrus, who tried everything in his power to back out of his way. After James made the free throws to tie the game, I got several text messages from friends who thought the fix was in. I was scratching my head, too. The call was terrible, but I understand superstars get borderline calls in the final seconds. My first thought, however, was: When was James going to shoot the ball, actually? He fell down with less than a second left and had yet to look at the rim. If Cleveland won the game after that call, you would have seen conspiracy theorists going berserk for a long time.

I know. I'm still waiting for Dwight to attempt his first free throw this series. It's incredible that a guy that size hasnt' attempted a single free throw in a 7 game series. Simply amazing.
