I guess I’m wired differently than NBA officials. If some cry baby coach whined to the media about the job I was doing, I would screw that guy over to the point where he’d never open his mouth about the refs again.
Instead, these guys cower and try to make it up to Eddie Jordan. Eddie Jordan?!?!
LeBron walked. Get over it. If you want the refs to go completely by the book on the little things, then they’ll have to call “carrying” on every NBA player who walks the ball up the floor.

i can’t understand why any of you would bitch about THE CAVALIER being biased towards the Cavs and LBJ. can’t you read his f*&#$ng nick!?! anyway, what can i say? it’s all a matter of perspective. the wizards fans are probably seeing the officiating much differently. one thing’s for sure, this blog is 100% hilarious!

Eddie Jordan is a baby. Look at Mike Brown taking the high road and not stooping to that baby’s level. I felt bad after someone called him a racial slur in Cleveland, but after his comments the other day I think he probably deserved it. He acts so smug and is proud of crying about the officiating. He should have been fined for his comments. So pissed.

The cavs need a new pg, they need to move Larry Hughes (good luck) and get a shooting guard that can shoot. Get a rebounder that can defend. They also need to get rid of their entire bench and get some real players. Oh and a new offense.

The flops are silly. I remember Ben Wallace flopping to draw a charge on Iverson a couple years back - as if Iverson can knock him down with a baseball bat. In this regard, basketball has become soccer.

The other thing I hate is that bitching the whole game WILL get you calls. More bitching = more calls, so long as you don’t swear. Brown calmly comes over and chats with the refs. This has absolutely zero effect on them.

LeBron will be fine. He looked whiny because there were a lot of questionable offensive fouls called (both sides). Don’t worry Marshall and Jones’s outside shooting will come around any day now.

They desperately need a legit point guard, as well.

Somehow in the postseason we’re back to LeBron bringing the ball up, when he needs to be either posted up or coming off screens on the wings.

A new offense and a PG to run it are essential.

I’m not going to talk about the officiating much, enough’s been said. I loved the D.C. crowd and their eagle eyes for traveling and the TV commentators flogging the end of the game 3 over and over. Look people, travelling is rampant in the NBA. Virtually every dunk that’s not an alley-oop and half of all lay-ups come via travels. LeBron’s travels get noticed because more attention is focused on him than any player in the game, the series, or the entire playoffs.

The problem nobody’s mentioned is LeBron trying to be a good boy and pass all the time. And how can you blame him. All your life people tell you to involve your teammates. You’ve got guys wide open for threes in the corner. So you dish it off, and they either miss or let it bounce off their hand into the crowd like an idiot. (I’m looking at you, Damon Jones.)

And on that note, what are the Cavs paying Damon Jones for and how long is his contract, anyway? Yes, he’ll hit a great shot at a key moment once every half dozen games or so. This makes us forget that the rest of the time he throws up bricks, plays no D, and is generally a useless prima donna.

Mark my words, offseason priority A-#1 for the Cavs should be securing the services of a reliable outside shooter. Jones doesn’t cut it. Murray hits one sometimes. Hughes was supposed to help with that, and he doubtless would have if injuries hadn’t destroyed his season. But something has to be done.

I digress. The next stage in LeBron’s development must be the ability to shoulder the burden of carrying the team down the stretch. I don’t mean that he isn’t physically capable of doing it now, or even that he’s not mentally able to, it’s more of an emotional thing. Sooner or later he has to realize that he is the best player on the team by miles and he can’t count on his teammates to always pick up their game if he leads them by the hand long enough. Part of being a leader is not being such a nice guy when the situation calls for it.

My only problem with lebron is that he expects ppl to move out of the way when hes heading to the basket… umm this isnt the playground. why is he always surprised when he gets called a foul? whatever, if he makes it to the second round, it will be an easier win for my pistons, otherwise we have to deal with gilbert.

Amen about the flops. Did you notice that when James Posey went all Artest on Kirk Hinrich, shoving him from behind out of nowhere, that he didn’t fall down? You know why? Because most of the time in life, no matter what happens to you, you don’t fall down. When was the last time you saw someone get punched in the face and fall down? That’s got to be worse than when someone touches Manu Ginobili’s shoulder, right?

i misread the haywood comment…my mistake. the banned comment was a joke. but taken in context with the rest of my rant i can see why you didn’t read it as such.
