I’m convinced that genuinely was a lob attempt but he fucked up and put it so close to the basket that if Allen finished it, it would have been offensive goaltending.

He dares the other team to be less clutch and tonight Detroit won that challenge lol his missed free throws, turnovers, and easy lob to Allen that he instead missed as a floater should’ve turned this game into a loss, but thankfully Detroit is young enough to also choke slightly more lol

If you look careful the refs are holding Cade and preventing him from boxing out Harden.

If you look even closer, you might catch the lane violation on the shooter

Now, I know this isn’t called very often, but it’s just another example of James Harden getting rewarded for breaking a rule. Ideally a team would be good enough to win in spite of that– like the Pistons should have been good enough to win in spite of the obvious missed call that would have given them 2fts to win in regulation–, but it’s a little bit annoying to watch basketball games where one side is expected to win in spite of bad officiating, and the other side is allowed to win because of it

I just don’t like watching bad basketball, and James Harden is the epitome of bad basketball. I’d be happy to cheer on those lovable underachievers in Cleveland if they weren’t given the gift of James Harden flopping his way to the line all game

Last I checked LeBron is in Los Angeles, and just lost, right? I like him quite a bit, he’s the best player ever imo

It’s sad you guys still live in that past. I bet it was cool to get handed the best prospect ever, fuck it up, and then get sloppy seconds, but I would recommend moving on <3

Blame the refs all you want and there is valid reason to do so, but Bickerstaff and Duren were trash and the whole team choked.

The coaching the last 2 games has been atrocious, Duren has been atrocious, and when Duren and Auser are both on the floor they can’t score.

Bickerstaff needs to adapt and figure out how to not go on these long scoring droughts

Maybe use some words and logic to explain why Harden would be flying 5 feet forward without anyone pushing him?

Because the pistons player pushed him. Hopefully that clears things up.

Well Levert was behind him and doesnt contact Harden, Reed came from the side to attempt a steal and Harden lunges 5 foot forward and out of bounds?

Levert was behind him and attempts to walk through harden pushing him in the process.

[Highlight] James Harden makes the first free throw to put the Cavaliers up 3, misses the second one, grabs the offensive rebound, gets fouled, makes the first free throw and misses the second one again, putting the Cavs up 4. The Pistons fail to cut the lead, and the Cavaliers will win this one.
