Varejao was riding under Howard. If Lebron trips then makes contact with Pietrus and a foul is called then what Varejao did is a flagrant.
watch the replay: howard FOULED him. he dragged varejao's arms the entire way. refs actually let that go.
That last play was a good no call. If anything, it could have been called on Howard. I just watched it again on my DVR. Very good no call. These refs are doing a great job. Kudos.
Where did howard think he was going? he runs past the backboard?? His positioning the last quarter has been horrendous!! He has no idea where he is when he's going for the ball.
Good call on Pietrus on the trip. LeBron with clutch FTs. Good non-call on the alley-oop. BB, it sure looked like Varajao was there for the tip.
absolute good no-call on the last play. On Lebron's drive...questionable. And I think you don't call it at the end of the game. It was either a block or a no-call...and I'd say it shoulda been a no-call given that he was out of control and leaning to create the contact. Not a huge problem with the call and non-call
Those were incredibly bad. But I was born in Cleveland and witnessed The Drive and The Shot live as a child. It has scarred me ever since. I never thought I'd see Cleveland win a championship in my lifetime, and now the gods are toying with me.
I think he had a good chance to do so. But the Lebron haters would have yelled for a lane violation and blamed david stern for the lane violation and tip in.
I hate it when Clutchfans is filled with Kobe/Lebron apologists that who justify all the bad calls if it's in Kobe's/Lebron's favor. It's ok to be a Kobe/Lebron fan but at least be fair.
I agree, you can't just back up into him like that and then undercut him when he's trying to go for the ball.
