Lol would you like me to keep a journal tonight of all the times LBJ fouls without being called for it? But I dont expect them to call it, if you dont call 2 fouls during the final 4 seconds of a close game on a potential game tying shot...theyre not going to call them period

Anyways, I think RW goes off tonight and is in attack mode from the get go and powers them to a win. Then Miami will take game 5

probably has to do with his high basketball IQ and knowing when not to reach and when to back off. give it up man.

Lmao I dont disagree with his high Bball IQ at all. But playing 40 plus minutes a night and averaging like 1 foul a game is ridiculous

Then don't make the claim that he should have more fouls called on him when he isn't fouling. He can defend without fouling at a high rate, a tribute to his basketball IQ.

Not if you aren't committing fouls, I'm pretty sure the number of fouls you commit isn't automatically pre-determined by the number of minutes you play.

Lol I give up. LBJ , plays tough physical defense on the leagues best scorer and doesnt commit more than 1 foul a game. His vastly superior bball IQ has allowed him to probably set records for the lowest amoutn of fouls as compared to minutes played in playoff history. I take my hat off to him

I'm sure you saw the SC segment when Javie said the ref was out of position and blocked by Durant from seeing the fouls? Is he supposed to guess? Durant should have been fouled out at the 3 minute mark but no one on here complains about that missed call.

The refs have missed calls both ways, they aren't fixing games, the league isn't fixing games.

Point out fouls from last game then, your argument is flawed because you are looking at it as a predetermined set of fouls someone should receive for playing x amount of minutes. If Durant wants to get him in foul trouble he should actually attempt to drive to the basket, not shoot jumpers 90% of the time.

Aka convincing you LBJ has ever done anything wrong in his career is about as likely as me being invited to join the KKK

Another deterrent from the argument at hand, still waiting for those supposed calls that should have been made last game.

Then you shouldn't have even brought up the topic, you are making a general assumption that because he played 40 minutes he should have had x amount of fouls, which is just ignorant and you know it.

Law of common sense says playing multiple multiple multiple playoff games 40 or more minutes you should average more than like 1 foul a game. Im not saying theres a predetermined amount of fouls he should have. But his ratio of fouls to minutes played is off the charts probably in the history of the playoffs.

That is a complete assumption, and unless you can back it up with specific examples then it holds no weight.

You're the same person complaining that LeBron guards Fisher and other non offensive threats and now are outraged he doesn't foul more? Let it go.

Saying he plays good defense and should be called for a foul is just as dumb...when Durant played good defense and was called for fouls.

For fuck sake why don't you cry some more or write a letter to Stern!

He's a star in the league and gets preferential treatment. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.
