June 15, 201511 yr I loved when LeBron called himself the best player on the planet in the after game press conference. Announcers were right again last night, LeBron doesn't get calls that other guys get because he's so big and strong. Same complaint coaches used to have about Shaq. He got mugged every time he drove and didn't shoot half the free throws he should have. While I'm on a rant, why did the Cavs get called for fouls nearly every Warrior possession in the 4th quarter? I know everyone fouls in the NBA but atleast keep it even.
June 15, 201511 yr This series is over IMO. Warriors are just too good and too deep. LeBron should be Finals MVP regardless of the fact that they're most likely going to lose. This GS team would have been swept by last years Spurs or Heat. They are good, but not nearly great.

The Cavs were only called for three more fouls than the Warriors. Not sure that's anything to get worked up over. If it was as bad as you say, the calls must have been heavily in favor of the Cavs prior to the 4th...

Considering they went to the "Hack an Iggy" by the middle of the 4th and fouling down the stretch the numbers were definitely in the Cavs' favor.
June 15, 201511 yr Two things with respect to LBJ not getting star like calls. 1) He is roughed up, but he is able to reciprocate. Let's not act like he is not able to be physical with the opposition. Shaq it seemed would get in foul trouble from it. James is seldom in foul trouble. 2) I really think the flopping antics and showing up the refs gives defensive players more of a leash.
June 15, 201511 yr What's interesting is that Golden State has made LeBron James the biggest player on the court, almost forcing him down in the post on many possessions.
June 16, 201511 yr Just had a bad night and couldn't shake it mentally I guess. He was around a 70% FT shooter on the season. His FT % has plummeted during the past four seasons. He's shooting 41% during the playoffs.
June 16, 201511 yr Cavs had their chances and then panicked when GS went up 5. Had a possession that ended with Moz facing up from ten feet. Needed to continue posting LBJ and staying with it.
