    This is a joke. LeBron very clearly gets shoved in the back by David Lee while driving the baseline with no call, but they nail him on the Harrison Barnes putback.

    I'm no LeBron lover at all but he not only isn't getting superstar treatment, he is being disrespected tonight by the refs.

    Borderline disgraceful.

    Because Lebron is a leader and we do not have guys with leadership skills.

    Nobody's considering him the best player. Relax.

    Yup. This entire series LeBron has been like a second away from getting called for eight seconds every time he brought it up. Knew he was going to get called for it eventually.

    Don't understand why players walk it. It's a waste of time.

    He's doing this on purpose. He has to slow the game down to slow the Warriors down. HIs team doesn't have the offense to go toe to toe offensively with the Warriors.

    This is part of the game plan.

    It's a subtlety thing. I'm sure Howard, James and other guys have said that and it wasn't caught on camera or audio. Howard's conversation with Smith about "Gotta take it if we want it" on the sideline has me thinking differently about this team. It's just they aren't synchronized in their ways yet.

    Also, thats how he gets his break. He played basically the whole half.

    That doesn't mean he has to run full speed on offense. Just run up to the half court line and make use of 18 seconds of the shot clock to run the offense instead of 14.

    Cavs gotta weather the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter. The Warriors will want to put this on overdrive and put the game away.

    If I was Blatt, I would sit Mozgov unless you're ending quarters. Warrior's small lineup is too quick for Mozgov on both ends.

    LeBron is literally playing every role 1-5 on the court.

    Mark Jackson is right, this is Magic Johnson like.

    Cavs have no intention of shooting before they have ten seconds left, but no excusing that 8 second violation.

    They're tied 2-2 and down only 1 in game 5 v. the best team in the league. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

    I don;t like Cavs chances. Warriors are hitting their shots and no way Lebron will continue his hot shooting in the second half due to fatigue.

    Lebron has airballed 2 shots, and nearly airballed 2 other floaters. He's not hot. He's just attacking the rim. He hasn't been hot on all series. He's due for a hot shooting game.

    Only a truly despicable team could make the Cavs look like the "good guys"
