JEIII is Captain Obvious. Everyone knows the Knicks wants the Cavs. They've had the Cavs number all year and we've had the Knicks number all year. We all know it. The Knicks know it. The league knows it. I just hope the refs forgot about it for one night.

If you looked at it during the regular season, you'd think it was fine. As Del said, we had a winning record with Davis as crew chief. He also has the 6th lowest called fouls per game and 4th lowest point total per game. Sounds great, right? Nope. Davis was the Crew Chief for Game 4. Remember that one? That's the one where the Cavs shot 34 free throws to our 12 and Mitchell alone had more than our entire team. Now, maybe it was the rest of the crew (Tiven, Maddox, and Ervin) who called all those fouls in Game 4 and Davis will return to regular season form tonight. Or maybe it was just the call from the league office. Guess we'll find out later.

Our referees are: Marc Davis, Ben Taylor, Kevin Scott, Brent Barnaky

You'd need to own a liquor store to have that much booze lying around.

I feel like fans are complaining more and more about the NBA product with regard to flopping. The NBA really needs to use the tools they already have (flopping tech). They should also institute a rule change where players can get assigned techs, fined, and eventually suspended for doing it too many times. We shouldn't have to watch this trash and James Harden going horizontal to bait a foul on a three pointer. Unfortunately Adam Silver is more focused on increasing the size of the NBA empire rather than making a good product out of what they have.

That Ben Wallace stat is insane. That’s why he’s my favorite Piston of all time. Ausar is climbing the ranks though.

Jenkins hitting all the shots he couldn’t hit last game. Nice redemption arc.

So many of those Duren highlights were so close to turnovers. I’d show him that film and say don’t do it again.

Listening to Wade is terrible no matter what. He’s so bad. Not Webber bad, but still. Bad.

Watching Cade get mugged by Struss after that weak ass call on Ausar is infuriating.

That’s not a foul.

Noooooooo! Ausar fouled out.

Ooooh, double big.

Why are you bringing Duren back? Why?!?!?

Harden and Brunson in the ECF would be so unwatchable. So much flopping.

He slipped in that flopping punk’s sweat. Ball don’t lie I guess.

Wow. F u refs! That’s such crap.

Cade first free throw tonight. You’re joking right!?!

Bring Reed in now!!

And we bring in Tobias for Ausar. Dead.

And now they get Ausar out of the game. Thanks refs.

That makes one of us.

Wow. No call on that Cade drive and harden gets the call on the other end.

Damn. Duren’s back but Ausar is still sitting.

Having Reed out there when Ausar is stuck on the bench has been absolutely huge. His defense and hustle has keyed almost all of this.
