They were not able to call the foul on KD.

Once a play is being reviewed there's no excuse for not having that ability to get it right.

IMHO better that Warriors won yesterday anyways...
Warriors beat Cavs Dec 25, 2015. Cavs won '15-'16 Championship
Cavs beat Warriors Dec 25, 2016. Warriors won title
Warriors beat Cavs Dec 25, 2017. ??

Fouls are way more arbitrary in the first place. That's the real reason they're not reviewable. OOB is cut and dry.

So you're trying to say that they should keep the rule as is and every time a similar play happens (ref got the call right (Cav's ball) but for the wrong reason (the reason it went OOB off LeBron is that he got fouled twice) so they should reverse the correct call because of a technicality that fouls are often missed...

Unless you are advocating IR for fouls you have no case. It got it 100% correct again!!!

Where did you get that from what I said?

Seems like the GOAT can’t handle jimmy butler, he’s 5-12 lifetime against him. Cavs got blown out last night!

So this so-called GOAT only tries during the playoffs? That is why he will always be MJ’s waterboy.

i never called him the goat but to judge anyone against another player in the regular season is ludicrous. I'm sure if you look good enough you can find a player that Jordan has a losing record against as well.

Can you please remind me MJ's numbers during his 15th season? He was a lightweight that couldn't take the heat of the game and left when he knew he couldn't handle it anymore. He was scared to keep playing because he knew he had his maybe 6 years of glory and stunk after that. He pales in comparison to the true GOAT who will have 20 epic seasons and honestly right now he is embarrassing MJ with the numbers he's putting up now.

Only someone with lack of knowledge about basketball would make such an idiotic statement. No need for me or anyone else to defend MJ. The true undisputed GOAT.

I wouldn't expect someone from Chicago to say anything else. To not see that players playing 20 good seasons as more impressive than a player playing half that with any success is simply turning a blind eye. History will tell, but when MJ's career looks like a short stint one time hit show compared to Lebrons don't come crying to me.

Says some frummie who probably can’t even hit a foul shot underhand. What do you know about basketball?

Unlike CLE we don’t turn on our players. CLE was the one crying IIRC.

LBJ is a Trump wannabe!!!

You claim someone is the best then prove it on the biggest stage there is. MJ is 6-0 on the biggest stage. More importantly he was the best on the floor all 6 times. LBJ has shown he didn’t even matter at times on the biggest stage.
