Anything he’s reporting when it comes to Lebron is 100% from Lebron and/or his team. |

So not that this is necessarily better, but he said it came directly from Kyrie's team. That was the reasoning Kyrie gave for wanting to leave Cleveland.

Lots of blame to go around. JR Smith obviously. I just don't know what coach in their right mind doesn't make sure before the free throw to prepare for that scenario. He should have pulled someone aside and told them. Then he should have been sprinting and screaming to get that timeout. Lue is so utterly worthless.

Bron acted like a whiny bitch at the press conference.

Understandably. He had maybe the greatest game ever played in the NBA Finals and it was all for not because of the abysmal refereeing and the stunning incompetency of his scrub teammates. If I was him, I'd have been a little miffed too.

I doubt you'd be saying this if Patrick Mahomes decided to bolt when his contract is up so don't give me that 'LeBron has no reason to make long-term commitment' bullshit. Cavs drafted and did everything he wanted when he returned. If he decides to leave again fine but loyalty is great. It's one reason I respect Westbrook more than Momma's boy Durant. |

Cowherd nails it. This is seriously a really bad NBA policy. I don't know of any other sport that allows review of a judgment call. Has this ever happened in a playoff game? (let alone in the finals, let alone in the last 30 seconds of regulation). Closest I can think of is a tuck rule, but that's not a penalty call.
Imagine if this was the NFL and a team gets a game-sealing defensive stop. The refs review if a receiver (who was clearly out of bounds) was in bounds for the catch, then decide to call pass interference. Or decides to call roughing the passer. That's what happened last night. And it's pretty messed up.

Jeff Van Gundy just on ESPN. Said the refs scammed the system. They knew they couldn't review the charge. They knew damn well Lebron was outside the restricted area, but used it an excuse to review the charge call. Bad, bad optics on this.
