    Blatt should've gotten a T for calling a timeout with none left, right?

    So, did Jimmy Butler play much better defense on LeBron there than Parsons did on Lillard?

    If dunleavy was elbowed in the neck he ewould be chocking for air and still on the locker room with a doctor. It's a clear flop.

    Can't believe Blatt wasted three timeouts and almost got a technical for calling a timeout without one left.

    This guy was one of the most hyped coaches in recent memory and he does stupid **** like this. And wastes three timeouts because he couldn't draw up an inbound play lol.

    Refs didn't decide this game. No game is perfect regardless of sports. Nitpicking one or 2 plays is stupid.

    Cavs won b/c they made one more shot.

    Anyone got a video of that rose cross and layup right before Lebron won the game? Was a nice move.

    In europe players can't call timeouts only coaches. Probably why he was confused and old habits came back. Never liked his Maccabis or his coaching styles anyway. Messina much better euro coach, he's the real deal. Ofc the real good euro coaches like Ivkovic and Obradovic won't come over. Can't deal with primadonna players.

    What people should appreciate is Lebron admits he's sucking, even after hitting that game winner. Hopefully that shot gets him going b/c he's been shooting horrendous.

    Blatt almost pulled a Chris Webber

    Luckily Lue pulled his butt over before the refs could tech him up

    Blatt was like "huh, we have enough time, let's call time-out, I draw a play, we win and I'm a hero"...assistant was like "not in my house!"

    Yikes that was a crazy ending. Blatt blowing through all the remaining timeouts, and I was yelling at my TV when Lebron held the ball in the corner of the half court line, which I knew was perfect for a double team to trap him.

    I don't typically complain about refs because stuff usually cancels out. I thought the Dunleavy foul was iffy but I'm ok with it. There definitely should have been a foul called on Noah on the 2nd to last play. You might say the refs giving time for the Cavs to draw up a play helped cancel that out, although I'd rather take the FTs which would have been easier than that crazy shot by Lebron.

    Overall I didn't think we had a chance at half time, especially with Irving being relegated as a decoy due to his injury. Either way I don't have much hope for the rest of the playoffs whether the Cavs win this series or not if Irving can't get back to 100% soon. Also Lebron's jumper is the worst I've seen in recent memory.
