    It was goaltending

    f*** Lebron

    2018 NBA Playoffs: April 25: Cavaliers 98, Pacers 95

    Q4 - 00:05.1 - Violation: Defensive Goaltending - LATR shows that James (CLE) blocks Oladipo’s (IND) shot attempt after it makes contact with the backboard

    Still doesn't change that he hit a 3. Cavs woulda won by 1.

    Also the refs review pointed out that the turnover on Lebron before the goaltending play was actually last touched by Thaddeus Young on the baseline. Shoulda been Cavs ball instead of Indy with 18 seconds on the shot clock in a 95 all game with 28 seconds left in the game.

    Aww s***, I broke my loop again....

    Bron is wack.

    No ,it all changes completely.If Indiana up by 2 points and LEbron misses ,it is completely different ,at this time he has nothing to lose ,worst case scenario is OT

    Alright fine...but then before Oladipo even has a chance at the layup, Bron and the Cavs would get the ball back with roughly 28 seconds left in the game and 18 seconds remaining on the shot clock. The game at the time was 95-95 and if they score and take the clock down to about 10 seconds in the process, doesn't that change the game completely?

    The refs missed the goaltend...but they also missed the turnover on the baseline, which led to a change in possession and for Olidapo and the Pacers getting the ball for that layup opportunity.

    What the flip are you talking about "anymore"? I barely been on here lately. I don't remember engaging with you much on here about LeBron to begin with, but whatever...

    I honestly don’t blame the refs for missing that goaltending call. Even in slow-motion it’s like a fraction of a second from being clean, at real speed it looks like a clean block. It wasn’t a reviewable play either. Them not reviewing the out of bounds play that should have given Cleveland the ball was worse, and I say all this as a known hater. It all balanced out in the end, the Pacers played horrific defense on the final possession, the defender didn’t even get a fingernail on LeBron and he buried the shot and made them pay. That was a legit clutch shot.

    Now the scorers table celebration after was a bit much, but I can see how LeBron is pumped up winning the game when he’s carrying this team as hard as he’s having to, freaking Korver is their 2nd best player lately and Clarkson has been god-awful. Plus if I complain too much about the celebration of a first round buzzer beater game winner you just know someone is gonna post Kobe celebrating after his vs the Suns. Of course that’s was a 2-7 matchup and an upset, not a 4-5 matchup where the home team is supposed to win, but I gotta cover all my bases here. All that said, I’ll repeat what I said before in here, if they keep using LeBron like this, he’s going to break. 40+ minutes per game in his 15th season after 7 straight Finals trips, if they get there again I don’t see how he’ll have anything left to give. The complaints of him not having enough help are usually silly, but this year it’s pretty accurate, his team just isn’t very good, but fortunately for them he is.

    Weezy, don’t you know Lebron is never going to break. He’s made out of some titanium, kevlar, crazy glue and magic 8 ball plastic. If you think he will get injured you are just a hater, like me.

    :Kobepuking:

    Notice that the only shots that were actually a "shot" that required skill and not a layup, he goes berzerk and runs all over the place. Yes, he's as shocked as everyone else lol

    I’m not much of a Lebron fan but good for him. Every great player deserves a few clutch shots over their career! He seemed genuinely happy like a kid.

    The goaltend stinks. The fact that they have no way to review it is what's wrong with the situation.

    The shot is still nice. 1st round? I can find a way to hate but the Kobe' clutch shots in '06 against the Suns are among my favorite Laker moments. If LeBron's goaltend was called the shot would have been more dramatic! Missed opportunity.

    I didn't mean any offense or anything, sorry if it came off that way. Honestly, I always perk up when you post. We miss your insight around here.

    I truly don't remember what your feelings are towards LeBron, so I didn't want to lump you in with others if you didn't agree with their LeBron opinions.
