Quote:My reason for me dropping my opinion of him was due to his whining for calls in the game last night (which I didn't illustrate, but I felt as if I was tagging on to some earlier comments about such), and his propensity for using the Push Off play so much.

 

I don't like watching the Cleveland Offense because it is single-faceted even though it is effective, and I've stated as much. I guess I needed to be more explicit when I'm discussing two different topics.

 

Lebron whining for calls is nothing new, he is usually pretty animated anytime he thinks the refs have missed a call, especially if it while he's driving to the basket. That one non-call when Le Bron got raked across the arm, right in front of the ref, at the end of the game was just a horrible non call. How was that not a foul? They even showed it 4 or 5 times and you could clearly see the rake across his arm each time. You could even read LeBron's lips as he said "oh my God". I've long thought he whined too much, especially since he's the best player in the game for several years now. The refs are going to miss calls sometimes, you just have to deal with it.

 

Yes, Cleveland's offensive is awful to watch, but after losing 2 starting all-stars to injury, what you see with LeBron dominating the ball and isolated on one side is really the only chance they have to win a game or 2 and they still have to hope GS plays poorly, or at least down to the Cavs level. Plus I heard GS say that they don't mind LeBron having a big game, but they don't want anybody else to get into a rhythm and start knocking down shots and helping him out. They feel they can win the series that way.
