Every one knows that the fix was in for game 3. The Cavs were supposed to win. The NBA can't have a sweep.The refs did everything in there power to give them that game, yet no dice. What gives?

Finally, someone who saw the same game I did !!! The refs continually had them at the free throw line.... but even the refs couldn't help them hit a bucket.

The Cavs right now are like the early Jordan era with the Bulls - LeBron and the Jameaires. In Game 3, the Cavs were looking pretty good until LeBron picked up No. 3 and sat down. Then Duncan picked up No. 3 as well, and you're thinking: "TV ratings are bad enough for this series, and James & Duncan are now sitting on the bench." And at that point the Spurs basically took control. The Spurs are a much better team than the Cavs; the only time the Cavs have an advantage is when LeBron, in mid-80's Jordan fashion, takes the ball with the attitude of "Get the f*** out of the way, we're gonna win this game!" Jordan couldn't carry the Bulls to the top alone, and neither can LeBron carry the Cavs.
I'm not sure the fix was in for Game 3. Game 4, on the other hand, may be heavily pro-Cavs. ABC is losing their shirt on this one, with the bad ratings and all, and needs at least one more game for the revenues. I will not be surprised if LeBron goes for 60+ tonight, with the clearout called every other time down the floor in old-time Jordan fashion. It's probably the only way the Cavs really have a chance.

I disagree. I am a Spurs Fan and I think the game was called bad on both sides and the Spurs got the better end of it. Just look at the last play of the game when Bruce Bowen intentionally fouled LJ and the refs didn't call it! If the Leage wants 3-0 series to go longer they should keep the format
2-2-1-1-1. I think a team is more likley to fluke a game to go home. Since the Spurs are up 3-0 I think they are going to come out full force and go for the sweep.

i do no longer think of its that elementary, as merely identifying on a series # of video games that would make Kobe extra worth of the MVP than LeBron. In all honesty, the seasons that they are having, they the two are deserving and that i can make a case for the two of them getting the MVP. well-known, i could say LeBron has the part, yet i could incredibly say the Celtics overall performance over something of the season would ascertain the MVP merely as lots because of the fact the Lakers and Cavs. Its quite inevitable that the Lakers will win the West. If LeBron won't be able to lead the Cavs to the final checklist interior the east, quite with Boston taking part in devoid of KG for awhile, he loses assorted his declare to the MVP.

How can you say the refs were on the Cav's side after that last play?? I mean, come ON!
That having been said, the Cav's defense was awesome, but their shooting was terrible on Tuesday, LeBron included. It was a close game all night, however, so the refs really needed to make that foul call on the last play, especially since it would have been a tie at that point.
GO CAVS!!!

yeah cavs fans can whine all they want about the last play, but in reality it shouldn't have even come down to a final play and only the referees and some poor execution by the spurs were the only reaons they were in the game.
and how bad is Mark Jackson?! He doesn't say anything against the cavs no matter what happens.

i guess u didnt watch that last game. the refs blew it, again. they need to make calls both ways. i hate the make up calls they give out when they know they messed up. that is what they need to fix instead of the playoff system, and the draft.

Lerbron didnt go to the hole until the 4th qtr. He waited too long and thats how he fuct up. I don't think the refs had anything to do with it.

I didn't know the fix was in. But it looks like you paid off the wrong people.

Considering Bruce Bowen pushed LeBron his last three, if the refs had any bias at all, it wasn't for Cleveland.
