That hit glass.

Feel like that needed to be a jumper, so if you miss at least there’s less time after the time in the air and bounce off the rim.

Jesus - can't they just have an official in NY call down and tell them to hold on a sec so they can get these end of the game calls correct?

The no goaltend call made up for the screw up at the other end with the ball knocked on to the end line by Indiana that they called out on Lebron.

And why the hell didn't CLE bench, or IND bench go nuts and demand a replay? I mean, even if you can't specifically call for one, any close play and I am bitching to the refs telling them to take a second look

All-time classic post by Johnny.

Love LeBron. What a transcendent player.
I'm chortling at it all, myself. Really.

The NBA cares way more about favoring stars, myth-making, and weaving narratives than actual sporting integrity. I don't like it, but it is what it is, and what it is... is funny.

It was Cavs’ ball, then goaltend, then LeBron won it. No one is going to argue against that.

Just have to appreciate how great he is because no one else can do what he does. And he epically transcends a world sport like basketball like few others transcend their sport (Federer, Tiger and a few more).

My understanding is that had they called goaltending, then it would've been reviewable.

I assume it's this way in order to cut down on the number of stoppages and reviews.

Yup. Appreciate him, even with all his warts. He is the best of all-time.

I find it disheartening that people are so quick to crown LeBron over Jordan.

OKC should see if they can fire Donovan at half time. That team is going to have a rough offseason.
