Cleveland wins!...NBA loses

[Alleyoopster]

How are NBA fans supposed to feel that any team has a chance to beat Cleveland when the refs basically FIX the game. This no-call (see link below) on Lebron basically gave Cleveland the win has me wondering even if the Celtics did get the center they are looking for, plus select a high draft pick can they really expect to beat a team like Cleveland with extra players on the court, i.e, the refs?

Check out CBS Sports version of the dunk (second video). In this scene they cut the rim hanging event all-together. Essentially, they are complicit with the NBA in committing this fraud.

The no call on Jefferson at the end of the game also has me shaking my head as both no-calls took place in less than 30 seconds.

It's fine as long as Durant isn't going to win the NBA title this year. #StillSalty

First thing i thought when i watched the game was Lebron is getting a tech for hanging on the rim.
As far as Jefferson... I don't think it was a clear foul. only in slow-motion I can see some contact.

As a fan who grew up watching the league fix countless games for Jordan, Shaq, and Kobe, nothing would surprise me at this point.

but, yeah, that play was particularly bad.

The refs missed calls on both teams. Green got away with a clear charge and scored a layup, for instance.

If anything, I think that Lebron gets too few foul calls. Like Shaq back in the day, he gets hit on just about every possession.

true

 Just like Shaq he also gets away with plenty


Shaq camped out in the paint all the time


Lebron walks and pushes off all the time

Both Shaq and lebron are pretty hard to officiate

Lebron walks or commits an offensive foul every time he drives to the basket.
Lebron once went FIVE GAMES without being called for a foul.
The NBA's mollycoddling of Lebron is a disgrace.
And then there is this.....

NBA is fixed? Why would anyone think that?

Is it because the league does not even try to hide the fact that it is fixed?

What do you think it is when everyone that is involved or follows the league not only acknowledge but endorse the fact that veterans get calls over newbies? Stars get calls over regular players.

Back in the Magic Johnson days he would often just drive the lane flay his hands in the air and yell, it was an instant foul call whether he was touched or not. Oh, why do officials call phantom fouls on scrubs when the fouls were actually committed by superstars who were in foul trouble.

Do you think it is just a mere fortuity that stars hardly foul out of games?

Every superstar in the league just happens to be a great defender, do you know why? Well, its because they get to foul over and over again without being called.

NBA is fixed? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

No they aren't.

If the rule book were followed exactly, that would have benefitted Lebron and Shaq.

TP! I called it after the first 3 seconds of him hanging and yanking the rim
But the refs didn't. Warriors lose by 1

What about the silly tech called on Jefferson?

What about the clear Green charge that was a no call (in a game where he had 5 fouls)?

He also creates most of that contact, and has the most illegal arm bar on drives I have ever seen.

THE NBA is a non-contact sport, well except they do allow a lot of contact.
