I personally thought he got fouled. I was furious, knowing I am a Cavs fan. I mean he got hit, I mean if Hughes made that shot I wouldnt be saying anything.

Maybe; Maybe not. That late in the game though, NO ONE is going to get that call. Have to be clutch and hit the shot. The only reason any Cavs fans are complaining is because the shot was missed. I've been saying for a long time that LeBron may not be everythign he's hyped to be.

Yes, the Spurs have the dirtiest player (Bowen) and shadiest team of the NBA...
Yes, Detroit has some of the dirtiest and shadiest fans...
Yes, both the Spurs and the Pistons are the two teams in the NBA that i hate the most...
But there wasn't much contact to warrant a foul on Lebron so no I dont think he got fouled...
BUT there should of been an OFFENSIVE FOUL on Rasheed Wallace when he PUSHED a Cavs defender away on the play he made the shot to take the lead within a minute left of the game...
I could understand why the refs didnt call it though... I too get distracted and break down laughing everytime i see that stupid patch on Rasheed's head...

there were 3 fouls on the last play - Hamilton swiped at Lebron as soon as he started driving, Lebron spun, Hamilton lunged into him, Lebron shot and Hamilton ran into his left arm.. The shot came off the rim and Wallace pushed Varejeo in the back going for the rebound which went long to Hughes. I don't expect any of these to be called though since its the playoffs. Lebron needs to develop a jump shot inside the paint to avoid situations like this. The refs know he is going to take it all the way to the hoop and don't want to be involved in a controversial call.

He got bumped and drew contact with his left arm while shooting with his right...technically, is that a foul? Sure...in the final seconds of the Eastern Conference Finals, is that a foul...hahahahahaha...not even close...you gotta jump over or through Rip on that play if you're Lebron, cause they wouldn't have called a charge either...
Had to edit this after reading Jay's reply...
Jay, any Spurs fan calling the Pistons "thugs" is an idiot...your team is the shadiest on the planet...you have the dirtiest player in the league (Bruce Bowen) the offensive player that most goes out of his way to barrel into people (Manu) and the most protected player in the league- Tim Duncan gets EVERY call and never has more than 4 called on him if it's a tight game...it's absurd...

LeBron was definitely fouled. MJ would have gotten that call all day. Kobe gets that call every time. Tim Duncan would have got that call.
Whats even worse is the obvious foul against the worst whiner in the league. Something is really going on when Rasheed doesn't get whistled for that push-off. CONSPIRACY??? keep in mind this is coming from an unbiased fan with no emotional ties to either team

lebron will get fouled so much in the cavs home because the cavs refs call absolutely everything FOR the cavs
since it was in det, dont cry about it they still lost n they are down 0-2
but lebron choked once again and lost the game AGAIN
he isnt clutch when it comes down to the wire, otherwise a very good strong player

When you look at the replay it did look like a foul but you cant expect to get a call like that on the road it would probably have been a foul in Cleveland but lebron tried to go for the game winner that's what messed them up

Yeah, he got fouled ,but obviously the ref didn't call it ,so what do you do??? I am a Spurs fan and I much rather the Spurs face the Cavs than the Pistons. They are thugs,they like beating up on people.
We'll see how it goes in game three.
