    Haters, Jordan whined the few times he didn't get calls. I wont bring up Kobe he's the poster child.

    i don't know if it was blatt or lebron but either or both cost the cavs backers the cover.

    the cavs panicked and didn't know what to do. i would think a professional team would practice the last 30 second possessions for close games.

    they had trouble inbounding the ball, just expected bulls to foul, and burned all their timeouts.

    also j.r. smith was on fire in the 4th quarter, why not keep feeding him?

    Just the idea that a coach would not run the final play through the best player in nba is puzzling. James did the right thing for the team.

    Blatt needs fired. So shocked he didn't get the technical foul at the end there for trying to call a timeout with none left. LeBron deserved that last shot, and executed perfectly. Top 10 best nba player of all time deserves that shot every. Single. time.

    for people blaming blatt, i don't blame the guy for running a play of j.r.

    1.3 seconds left, the last three possession with lebron turned to shit, j.r. smith was on fire, who would be a better catch and shooter?

    The refs did screw them over. Blatt called time when he had no time. That's a tech and lost poss. The refs missed it. It changed the result. I call that screwing over.

    you said the nba refs are abysmal.
    the bulls lost game 4 in a heartbreaker that could have went either way
    you are a big bulls fan.

    after putting those facts together, it seems obvious you think the refs bad officiating affected the winner of game 4

    lmao. another guy who got screwed over. bulls ml game 4 eh?

    shoulda took the +2.5 spread at plus money pal

    but first before you complain, go refund the books for every bet you won, where the refs made bad call(s) that worked in your favor.

    if not, then just suck it up and move on, bc complaining is worthless

    I'm not complaining zeta. The refs did screw the bulls over. That's a fact. Btw I had cavs ml live +245 end of 3. I made around 700 on the game. I'm not complaining.

    Not a big deal. Guy would be hovering out in corner to shoot some spot up 3s and getting torched on d. Smith's suspension and hobbled Irving and Shumpert are bigger issues for this team.

    Keep asking the same question and you'll get the same answer from me. Continue elaborating on your profound basketball knowledge guy.

    well then this doesnt apply to you then. seems like whenever a guy loses a bet, or their fav team loses bc of a controversial call, they whine and bytch about it

    yet if those calls benefit their fav team or the team they bet on, they claim, "go bulls, yeah im sharp!" etc

    guys are fake as shyt lmao

    lol keep thinking you know basketball. do you even watch the games? you're the same clown that would rag on lebron for taking that fadeaway instead of driving to the hoop. luckily he made that shot yesterday.

    Lebron isn't a good enough coach to win it all. This cavs team just isn't good. The east is weak. I think the hawks can spank them.

    Why would any coach ask LBJ to inbound the ball with so little time left? Tell that to Kobe and he may even smack the coach. You always want your best player to take the last shot even if he is shooting 0-30.

    one thing is for sure though, lebron doesn't get the calls like jordan or kobe. both of his offensive fouls at the end would've resulted in 4 fts for either of the two. and no call on the last drive? refs would've blew the whistle before the contact for jordan and kobe.

    No... actually they were bad both ways.
    I said that statemwnt because all anyone is talking about it the charges, the missed TO call that shoulda been a tech, the "free timeout", the missed foul on noah etc.

    Wasn't Scottie Pippen the Bulls best player in 1994? Remember Game 4 with 1.8 seconds? Scottie wanted the ball. Instead he got a seat on the bench. No such thing as always.

    LBJ is the best player(or at least the top 3 if you dislike him ) in NBA now. Even the players do have their doubts on their coach last play as well, probably thinking why wouldn't the last shot be taken by LBJ? Or using the league best player to inbound the ball? No matter what, LBJ shouldn't be the player to inbound the ball. If he is not shooting, then he should at least be a decoy on the court.

    With regards to 1994, was Pippen a top 3 NBA player that time? Or if Jordan was still around, will PJ still draw up a play for Kukoc?

    Nice audible by LeBron, the only one on team who knows what it takes to win championship.
