The funniest part of this game was when they reviewed the charge and made it a blocking foul on Lebron

I thought it was a block. He was still moving and sidewards....

Yup.  It was the correct call.

The league needs to take the option away for referees to review and change foul calls. Fouls should should be made in real time. You could nitpick every charge call because it's easier to notice a defender moving in slow motion. That was bush league to change that charge, and a total cowardly move.

It is fair to dislike the rule, but it is currently the rule.  The refs would not be doing their jobs if they did not review and correct it.

I thought the two refs disagreed with the call in real time and that's why they reviewed it?

Funny? That single call may have thrown the series

It was clearly the correct call. James was definitely moving.

But it is pretty ridiculous that they can change that. I thought they could only look to see if he was in the restricted area, not actually change the entire call when NOT in the restricted zone.

Yep that’s what’s funny about it. I didn’t know they could change that.

Replay Review (Callahan): if LeBron James was in the restricted area, as well as in legal guarding position, after he drew an offensive foul on Kevin Durant in Q4 of #CLEatGSW. Ruling: Overturned to blocking foul, James was not in legal guarding position.

I did know they could change that either ......i agree it was dang funny beacuse of Bron ......but Smith and the choke freethrow was super epic NBA at its finest...LOL

I didn't think the officiating was clearly slanted towards GSW. There were clear calls missed in both directions. Part of the reason why it might seem slanted is Jackson and Breen's refusal ever to say anything remotely critical of Lebron and the Cavs. They have just been awful.

Its like Jackson is rehearsing to be Lebron's next coach. VanGundy and Jackson should step aside and let Reggie Miller and Doris Burke finish it out.

Please, god, no, lol .

Gift that keeps on giving

Although I think they should have called it a block to start with

Anything and I mean anything is better than listening to Mark Jackson. I rather have a feed to a goat chewing on a tin can than listen to Jackson. How did he ever coach a team. He has the lowest BBQ IQ of any announcer I have ever heard.

Doris Burke is hardly better. I like Reggie when he's complaining about the officials calling soft fouls though.

Can Mark Jackson, Burke and Breen just please, please leave

I can't find a replay of Thompson pushing that ball into Draymond with, what looked like, a closed fist, anyone?

[KungPoweChicken]

The way Lebron carries his team only to have his coach's and teammates' ineptitude cost him the win at the end reminds me a lot of Brady and the Patriots.

[TheisTheisBaby]

Lebron James is the best basketball player I've ever seen. Amazing.

You start watching basketball in 2018?

No. He has never been as good as he is right now in my opinion.
