I mean I know the guy gets into the lane and gets fouled a lot but more free throw attempts than an entire team. I guess if Iverson were playing he might be challenging Lebron for the free throw attempt title. LOL!

Ha! I’m watching the Detroit/Cleveland game and they showed the stat that so far during the series, Lebron has taken more free throws than the entire Detroit team. Lebron, 24-31. Detroit 23-28.

Haha. Weird. Even more conspiracy, or Stern’s got a crush on the Heat (cause I think Miami’s won that dance team bracket the last 40 years?)

Paul Shirley’s ramblings of Miami are hilarious. Excerpts:
“I am not going to suggest that the Miami Heat just went to some local [gentleman's] club and hired the whole roster as their dance team. Instead, I will simply say that I was impressed with their dancing abilities.”

“Based on the crowd at the game, the use of silicone per capita in Miami has got to be the highest in the US. All in all, a good night for testing one’s ability to focus through distraction.”

@Mark, I think the entire Heat team’s profile pics are that way.

@ticktock6, don’t forget that Blazer game where the Hornets were winning the entire time until CP’s groin got injured and the Hornets fell completely apart and went on to lose the game.

@$nave, I agree. I can’t say it enough but that is my main problem with officiating…….. “inconsistency”.

Great point $nave. That whole post about the foul situation on Lebron is way dodgy. Incredible read.

My biggest problem with NBA officials is that they are very inconsistent. I’m not even talking about from preseason to postseason. I’m talking about possession to possession, 1st quarter to 4th. The superstars get calls whilst the journeyman or rookie gets 3 fouls in 4 minutes and a seat on the bench. You cannot tell me that LRJ has only committed 3 or 4 fouls (whatever the his ridiculous low number is) in the three playoff games he has played. No way.

I have no idea if it is just simply human nature or the Stern Button being pressed, but I think it is a very real and obvious problem, and league officials seem not to care.

By the way, why is D-still-can’t-spell-his-name-right-Wayne Wade’s NBA player profile a glamour shot? I find that rather peculiar. Conspiracy, even.

I know, Caleb. Just restating the obvious!
