The league wants Bron to form a super-team in a big market.

This is why I hope LeBron defies them even more. For how they've screwed him.

LeBron deserves so much better than the way this league treats him

I’ll never understand why the league apparently doesn’t want him to succeed

I still don't get why Ty Lue didn't call a timeout seeing that JR was running away like he won the game... I was fucking yelping timeout from my couch.

If he cannot even keep his rotations straight over 2 HRs... how can you expect him to make an instant decision.... guy is incompetent to keep throwing clarkson out there...

Agreed, it was pretty fucking obvious he wasn't in the restricted area and then they pull that shit out of their asses to review it. The ref who called the charge even hesitated when he made the call if you all recall. At that point I knew something fishy was happening.

Like what makes this all the more atrocious is the fact you overturn it on the best player to ever grace your league. Like if anything shouldn't he get the benefit of the fucking doubt!? But no, you win. I hope you're happy after the Warriors win 7 manufactured fucking titles and ruin your league!!!

what a fucking idiot ....what a fucking idiot....why didnt anyone on the team call a fucking timeout?

Instead of a timeout, i was wanting JR to just shoot the ball or lay it in.
Also, i never thought there was a chance in hell they were gonna change Durant's charge to a foul on Lebron - but when they did i couldn't f*&king believe it.

He was a GD foot outside the restricted area...not even close. Block or no block, this play should never have been reviewed.

Key phrase here is "not reasonably certain". That should have NEVER been reviewed - an NBA officiating crew should be way more than fucking reasonably certain when it was so blatantly obvious he was outside the restricted area. Unreal.

Think I need therapy honestly have PTSD now

Now Iggy back for game two and we get swept. God damn we had this game.

It’s hilarious

I don’t even want Jordan calls for LeBron

Just can you not do the thing where you for the first time in NBA history reverse a call against him to lose a Finals game

Because that would be neat!

I have a feeling the refs are going to take a beating over the next two days and Sunday's game refs are going to be very careful to not screw over the Cavs. I've never seen national announcers so frequently questioning calls and non-calls (almost all against the Cavs) before. And the charge reversal was criminsl.

how the fuck can you overturn it based on anything but whether or not he was in the restricted area

From what i understand, they can change the call also, unfortunately.

Gained a bunch of respect for Lue. Also lol @ Kerr.

Also glad the locker room was closed. Hoping lebron laid it in to everyone and we come out and fuck these cheaters in game 2

I really struggle to put too much blame on the players in this one. They played their FUCKING HEARTS OUT, AGAIN!!! Yes, JR is a fucking retard sometimes, that's who he is as a player, he made a mistake, it happens. He also made a fucktard play to end the half that gave Steph a 3. And everyone wants to get on Ty Lue for not calling a timeout, but Bron was fucking open at the top of the key for a game winner. It's hard to immediately recognize a player doesn't know the score. Again, TLue wasn't perfect, but I thought he coached pretty well, maybe just too much Clarkson.

Every player did show up to compete tonight, so I don't want to hear none of that nonsense. Love played really fucking well and competed hard. Other guys even if they didn't shoot well, played their ASS OFF, and made big plays (even Clarkson).

At the end of the day, this was OUR GAME. We were fucking ROBBED point blank. Period. It is honestly a shame the general fan consensus is almost completely focusing on JRs mistake. Even if he knew the score, there a good chance we don't make the shot, plus he's the fucking one who made a great play to get the fucking rebound in the first place. Meanwhile, if the zebra shits didn't fuck us, we had a GREAT chance of winning. BULL FUCKING SHIT KISS MY ASS NBA.

Rockets got screwed the entire series...
