Then Denver should have gotten two foul shots and the ball back since the foul was clearly intentional.

Serves them right. I hate when a team intentionally fouls at the end of a game because they have a foul to give.

lol why?
do you not understand why teams do it?

Lebron is abusing Mo Evans right now

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

starting to hate lebron more and more with his cocky antics after he scores.

 

[Cheeseplug]

I love LeBron. Cleveland Rocks.

Umm...to take time off the clock? It's a stupid theory. Just play good defense.

did he cause further damage by staying in the game last night?
i thought adelman should've rested him because he was obviously limping.

Why would they get the ball back? There's no rules against intentionally fouling players. They'd get the ball back if you foul away from the ball under two minutes. WTF do you think players are doing when they just hug the opposing ball handler near the end of games?

In fact that's what the Mavs should've done. Hug Melo. If the refs don't call the foul they they are just blind.

usually the player will tell the ref before the ball is even in play..but a noob like antoine wright didn't know that

At least the refs have been consistent in the playoffs...consistently terrible.

It's ludicrous. I don't even care about either of these teams, but FFS just get the calls right! Grrrr. :|

KT

I'm not a fan of other team either. It just sucks seeing a team lose a game they could have possibly won because of bad officiating. Man that was horrible.

I can't stand Mark Cuban but he has every right to be beating down Stern's door tonight.

 

[tfinch2]

Bron-bron is going nuts right now.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

41 points & 8 assists for Lebron and the Cavs have only scored 80.

Is the east that bad or is Lebron that good? It would appear if you can defensively contain him than the rest of the Cavs aren't good enough to score/create on their own.

 

[dbk]

apparently the league just admitted their mistake regarding the call at the end of the dallas/denver game

 

[zerocool84]

Yao out?!? Damn well that's it. They're done.

They are that bad. Atleast outside of top 4. and Lebron is just on fire today. Its one of those days. It doesn't help the Hawks cause when they decide to take jumpshots. Out of a time out when their coach was like don't take jump shots.

The games would be much competitive atleast if the heat make. Atleast Wade will try and willing his team to victory. the Hawks have nobody.

3 of the top 4 teams in NBA are in the east. The problem is, once you get past Cleveland, Boston, and Orland, the talent dropoff is huge.

A big reason the Cavs were so good this season is because Mo Williams and Delonte West are capable of creating shots of their own. All 3 guys share guard time running the offense. Even if you contain Lebron he's got the supporting cast to get points.

Yep. Dallas should've let the refs know that it will be their intention to foul.

Regardless, Carmelo still had to make that clutch shot.

Teams play 52 games in their own conference, and 30 games against the opposing conference teams...

 

[Queasy]

The Cavs/Hawks series is a confetti bucket away from being a recreation of the Harlem Globetrotters vs the Washington Generals....

Let's see. Here are the top 3 teams in the East records against the West in 2009:

Cavs 26-4
Boston 21-9
Orlando 22-8

By comparison, here's the top 3 teams in the West against the East:

L.A. 21-9
Denver 19-11
San Antonio 18-12

Exactly.

Imagine if Melo missed, Dallas fans would have been ecstatic with the foul not being called then.
