    Lebron brings the ratings, and he gets way less foul calls than pretty much any other superstar now days. I mean near the end of MJs run you got a foul for just looking at him.

    LeBron doesn't draw fouls, like other superstars, but he is like batting ram on offense. It's hard to say.

    lebron definitely doesn't get crazy foul calls like some other superstars. early in his career he got lots of ft's but his fta/fga isn't that crazy the last few years IIRC.

    You see how Portland is about to get the gentlemen sweep while Hou vs OKC will get extended. It's all set up to crown Lebron. Portland getting flat out screwed on all the calls tonight.

    Dame just got Hardened on that foul on Caruso. Definitely should have been 3FTs

    The way Portland is playing, the Lakers won't need the refs help tonight.

    Yeah Portland is not even the same team. Lillard injury sucks but you can tell the fire Portland had is gone and it's not because the Lakers are that great of a team.

    You can tell with these comments....it's not the Lakers' fault that our coach is a one trick pony.

    Can you imagine the amount of flack Harden would get if he had Lillard's playoff record? Lillard makes a deep 3 and everyone forgets his teams have largely been terrible in the playoffs...often getting swept. The furthest he's gotten was the WCF last year only to be swept by the Warriors...with no KD

    So much for hoping the Blazers to upset the Lakers.
