    If the refs acknowledged it. If they did not notice, no time out was called.

    None of that takes away from the fact that they had ZERO timeouts when he was trying to call one on the last possession of the game.

    Is there anyway someone can compile data for buzzer beater attempts for various players like LeBron, Rose, Pierce, Harden?

    I think Chicago and Butler have indeed played fantastic defense. But LeBron's jumper already looked shaky against Boston. And he even struggled to hit jumpers when Dunleavy was stuck on him.

    Some coach you got there.

    LMAO LeBron said that the play they drew up during the extra timeout was for LeBron to inbound the ball and that LeBron scratched the play and told him "Coach, have someone else inbound the ball and give it to me and everyone else get out the way".

    Is Blatt the most idiotic human being on the planet? You have the best player on the planet on your team and you want him to inbound the ball?

    It's understandable I think. They could barely inbound the ball before.

    ahaha what an idiot! wtf! I think he's gone next season, though I hope not. Cavs with a good coach that has Lebron's respect (if it's possible) will blow through the east.

    kevin mchale-esque type of idiocy there.

    naw i take that back, even kevin mchale has enough common sense to give the ball to harden and let him do whatever he wants.

    I could tell LeBron was disturbed about something in the post game interview. I just assumed it was Blatt blowing through timeouts. But this adds another layer. I already had a feeling he lost major confidence in him.

    I saw some people question why he would even make this public (which I'm partial to agree), but to be fair Rose also mentioned he skipped Thibs plan to wait in the corner to make the last game winner.

    Once again, coaching is pretty irrelevant in most cases.
