Regular shooting? At this point I would take a 40% game. He took 30 shots, a good chunk of those layups, and only had 4 fts.All we need is TWO regular shooting/less turnover games from LeBron and we take this series.
He's gotta be due right? Right?
That's like saying that you respect a judge for over-ruling the jury on an obvious verdict and it's ok because his former Assistant DA is the DA on the case.
It's inexcusable. OBVIOUSLY, there's a lot less at stake here. But it doesn't make it any less embarrassing. Van Gundy sucks. Jackson sucks too, but he's too dull to know he sucks.

GD footage. Gotta love those 3 Cavs fans jumping after down (@4:40) after the cash shot was made. So boss.
Kendrick Perkins was like "Man fuck you Bulls!"
LeBron hit the best buzzer beater ever by a player wearing #23 at the United Center.
You know that those 3 fans are Dan Gilbert, his son and someone else from the Cleveland FO do you?
Your analogy doesn't make sense because JVG can't affect the outcome of the game. The most appropriate analogy would be I respect a newspaper reporter for writing an opinion piece contrary to an obvious jury outcome because he's had a long standing relationship to the DA and he gets unnamed sources that way.
It works.
He definitely doesn't affect the outcome of the game. He affects the outcome of the broadcast.
And he does it in a negative way, whether because of bias or because he's just an attention whore.
And in this case, I don't think loyalty to a coach involved in the game is an excuse to suck and subject a captive audience to shitty broadcasting.
Charles I love, Hubie was unbearable during the Boston series... All sorts of Celtics favoritism.
Kevin Harlan not MarvThat's just the way Hubie announces, he tells you what the losing team needs to do.
JVG is the absolute worst announcer. It's not just yesterday, he's constantly whining about the rules and other things that detract from the game he's announcing. Yesterday was great drama. The video of plays like that live on. Normally the call lives on with the play. Such as Marv Albert's "LeBron James with no regard for human life" quote. Van Gundy ensured that the live play call will have to be replaced with the radio call.
ESPN should be furious with him for detracting from the moment like that.
