LeBron Asks for Fair Reffing After Last Night's Loss

[dunksby]

[QUOTE] These Bulls had come hard for James, come with blunt force, and James' message was unmistakable on Wednesday night: From the Bulls and beyond, why has it become open season on him?

"I know that a lot of my fouls are not basketball plays," James said late Wednesday inside the United Center. "[B]First of all, Kirk Hinrich basically grabbed me with two hands and brought me to the ground. Taj Gibson was able to collar me around my shoulder and bring me to the ground. Those are not basketball plays

[Graviton]

He doesn't need to worry about it in the playoffs, Heat will have homecourt vs any team and refs won't be calling things against them that much, if at all.

[willds09]

thats why he has, is and will always be queen james, he want tha officiating crew to respect his queen wishes, damn bron stern gave your ass a ring last year, let it go just like u need to let go of your hairline:facepalm

Dude you are relentless though at least try to be consistent.

Lebron is probably the least whiniest superstar in the league.Compared to other superstars who constantly get techs because of this like durant,RWB,wade,kobe,howard all of these players are superstars and whines more than james.

I have watched the game.It kind of reminded me of 90s games with hard fouls.Refs really swallowed the whistles in this one.

I love it

[Mr. Jabbar]

This guy has crab-dribbled 10 straight years in impunity and got away with thousands of non-called offensive fouls while bullying people yet he dares address the referees in a disrespectful manner? :no:

LBJ just got a hint of what MJ went through and he didn't like it one bit:oldlol:

Today's players have become pusssies because the NBA has gotten soft over the years...Jordan would've raped this league if you couldn't touch him without it being a foul

Its not like Lebron didnt face that physical play before many times.... i think you are talking about two eras like you were talking about two different sports or something...

Neither did that physical defense affect Lebrons performance before or tonight, he did his thing and thats all you can ask for....... i couldnt say that for the rest of his teammates

That elbow to Boozer was out of frustration, and that's exactly what late 80s/90s rough defensive tactics tried to do; smack you around a bit to get you flustered and out of your game, not to hurt you. It worked, LBJ even tweeted afterwards complaining about the refs.

[Shepseskaf]

The refs actually did a good job. I'm amazed, given the circumstances.

I guess Stern didn't feel like pulling out all the stops to keep the streak going.

[CHi1PriDe]

Gtfo lebron, this dude cared so much about the win streak and he clearly stuck that elbow out right before the contact. And taj actually tried to block the ball without any bad intentions. Makes me appreciate MJ even more, he had it 10x worse :facepalm

Lebron just like Jordan did not care about the physical play, it didnt affect that them at all as long as the opposing teams got punished for it... i would go even as far as to say it did affect Jordan more than it affected Lebron, Jordan started many fights with opposing players because of it and got himself out of the game..... Lebron would never do that... generally they both didnt care as long as the opposing players got punished for it.... What Lebron did was a simple pushof with the shoulder, a message to only the reffs, a test.... as they did NOT do their job on those multiple flagrants (that were not called flagrants).... certainly that was called a flagrant which in comparasant to what happened just before that play was not called a flagrant (and was MUCH worse)... Lebron kept nodding afterwards, he made his point to what was going on that night with the officials... He doesnt care at all, as long as the officials do their job... and they didnt...

[Glide2keva]

Kirk stood his ground while LeBron tried to plow through him. I guess he forgot that he lowered his shoulder into him which caused Kirk to wrap him up.

Taj made a play on the ball. He didn't just whack him across the face or chest he was reaching for the ball. His flagrant was deserved because he drove his shoulder and elbow into Carlos. Much like he did against Lucas last year and got a no call for it.

Or, how about all the flopping he did against the Bulls in the ecf two years ago?

He needs to shut up and man up.

[tontoz]

That flagrant Lebron got against Boozer was the only foul called on him in 40 minutes of play and he complains about the refs?

:lol Imagine if Bird ever said this.

[STATUTORY]

Lebron going down a precarious route, biting the hands that feeds him. Without ref support Lebron is just a bald Josh Smith

[Nash]

They need to protect the players more. Everytime you see people trying to stop him from going up to the rim they forget all about basketball and try to grab whatever they can get their hands on while he's in the air. And whenever he gets down he you can clearly see that he always lands very awkwardly and one of those days his knees will take a bad hit.

[Nash]

:lol Imagine if Bird ever said this.
Bird never exactly as powerful and attacked the rim the way Lebron does. Players know that when Lebron attacks the rim he's hard to stop and they end up hitting him while he's in the air.

[BlackVVaves]

:rolleyes:

This. You can't have it both ways. Bron, like many superstars, gets away with all types of calls. Countless travels, fouls never called when he's playing defense. Things as a fan I never cite because, sadly, that's just how it is. But when I see a player start complaining about NOT getting calls? That's when that shit gets brought up.

Lebron gets away with more calls going his way than not going his way. So fanboys upset over the lost and are trying to channel their frustration on referee play need to take a seat. And this goes for many superstars - the KDs, the Kobes, the Wades.

how about he stop bulldozing into players like a bowling ball into pins?

if it was off the court, lebron be charged with manslaughter for the reckless shit he be doing

[Dragonyeuw]

Looked like a typical 90's game involving the Bulls, Pacers, Heat or Knicks :confusedshrug:

[niko]

When Lebron goes up to dunk, he goes up to do the biggest most ridiculous dunk to completely crap on you. Which is 100% fine - that's how you are supposed to play it. But if you do that (ala Blake Griffin) people are going to foul you on purpose to knock you down. That's how it works. I remember the heat being aghast JR Smith knocked Lebron out of the air before a dunk. Why wouldn't he?

[Nash]

how about he stop bulldozing into players like a bowling ball into pins?

Why should he stop doing what he's doing as long as its within the rules? He attacks the rim, its not like he's running into people. Players could take a charge if they want and Lebron would get a foul. It's not Lebron fault if he's too good, fast and strong. But wrestling him down or hitting him while he's in the air is dangerous play and could end up with Lebron landing awkwardly and getting injured and nobody wants that.

Anyway back to the game.I love these kind of games 90s physicality and kind of reminded me of shaq in his prime hold onto the guy see if he is strong enough to muscle his way through you.

[Blue&Orange]

Hey Lebron you know what isn't a basketball play either? You, using your off-arm to blatantly push people away every single time you try to beat them, because you lack the basketball skill to do it otherwise.


People talk about Durant, the league went on their way to CHANGE a rule to deal with something Durant was doing, when is the league going to enforce their CURRENT rules on Lebron?

This X100. It's one thing to be subtle about using your off-arm to separate, but Lebron stiff arms his man in the chest regularly without penalty.

All the contact that Lebron initiates and he's complaining about physical play? child please.

This is why no one respects Lebron except for his dick riders. He stands for everything that true basketball fans root against. Teams up with superstars, wins a ring with a ton of ref help, travels and fouls constantly without being penalized, and when guys half his size foul him gets mad, commits a flagrant foul and then bitches about in the locker room to media and even hours later via twitter.:facepalm

Point out one dumb thing I said in my previous post.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Lebron definitely initiates a TON of contact when he drives by using his arm to ward guys off and also bumping them off by lowering his shoulder. he does it all the time and I'm always perplexed why he's not called for it.

[scott0326]

This. He shot more free throws than the whole Bulls team at one point in the game.
So? All of those fouls were legit fouls, obviously if he is going in the paint and being fouled hard all game he'll shoot a lot of free throws.

[longtime lurker]

Lol sounds like Lebron is as big a bitch as his fans. I need to see video of these fouls he's complaining about.

[guy]

This is a joke, right? He's easily one of the BIGGEST prima donnas in the game. Get real.

Honestly, he's kinda right. Lebron rarely ever complains during the game like Westbrook, Howard, Kobe, and Wade. Those dudes almost after every play regardless of if they were actually fouled or not, bitch and complain if they don't get a call. I don't really see Lebron do that. However, at least they keep it within the game for the most part. I think bitching about it after the game especially when he's usually the one that benefits from refs not calling shit on his teams as opposed to his opponents is much worse.

but hes not right according to what i was tryng to say, lebron iz a bish for complaining about refs when david stern kissed his ass, granted his whishes and handed him a ring last year, and having tha most stacked team in NBA history with tha most no calls, thats why i cant respect queen james:no:

My bad. I shouldn't have said he doesn't complain. He does. But like you said, he does it with that sourpuss face. But he's not shouting, throwing his hands up, snapping his arms at them, and is overall not nearly as theatrical about it like those guys are. At least thats what it seems like to me.

[lilgodfather1]

The foul by Gibson was not a dirty play, but it could have severely injured LeBron. The way he landed was very dangerous. Should have been a flag 1. Any time you hit someone above the shoulder it's a flagrent, unless you hit the ball first.

It's not a basketball play to collar someone.

Shocker that trolls on ISH don't understand the point. Its not about getting the fouls, he GOT the fouls. Its about the dangerous plays and risking injuring Lebron when the only way to stop him is to push him or drag him down while he's in the air. That's just an injury waiting to happen.

[jimmy77x]

NB4 Miami 40 free throws vs New Orleans and hornets 10 ft's.

[Nash]

Kirk has no business grabbing another player with two hands and dragging him down to the floor. That's not basketball, maybe football but not basketball.

And I'm not only talking about the Kirk incident, there were many times the defender had no chance of stopping Lebron and the only thing he ended up doing to avoid Lebron getting the and 1 is to hit him in the air and many times Lebron ended up landing very awkwardly risking an injury.

Yeah, you are right, he should have just let Lebron bulldoze him to the ground instead. Lebron lowered his shoulder and charged into Kirk, and Kirk did the sensible thing by holding onto the nearest and heaviest object.

No no I don't like Kobe at all. I'm a LeBron fan.

Anyways like I said I don't really like Kobe, but I respect him. You know that he's going to give it his all, and he has been a great player his entire career. I may not think he is GOAT or anything like that, but i'm far from a hater.

My relationship to Kobe is almost like with Pierce. I hate Pierce, but you have to respect a guy like that. They just go out there and play their hearts out. I just don't hate Kobe, i'm more or less indifferent to him. When he does something spectacular I can say wow, when he does something boneheaded I can say what an idiot.

I'm not sure if you can see my avi well enough, but it says 30,000 due to him hitting 30k points. Just respect, no love.

[ProfessorMurder]

Kirk has no business grabbing another player with two hands and dragging him down to the floor. That's not basketball, maybe football but not basketball.

But LeBron can just barrel into guys that are 7 inches shorter and 100 pounds lighter, at full speed? He does that 20 times a game and never gets called for an offensive foul.

[ProfessorMurder]

LeBron is acting like a bitch. He's gotten superstar calls his entire career. Man up and take a loss.

What? Kirk grabbed his both hands and pulled Lebron down the floor with him. It's not like he made a play at the ball or anything. If you're not up for taking the charge, don't stand in the way.

[Mr Exlax]

Man it's been a rivalry for the past two seasons with these teams lol.

[Kingwillball]

Lebron gets fouled more than Any player in the league and it has been long known especially past couple years doesnt get as many calls as he should.
Lebron is also getting tired of taking shots to head and cheap shotted in general like last time they played Bulls Robinson also Blew out Lebrons Knee by undercutting him going to basket.

[Nash]

But LeBron can just barrel into guys that are 7 inches shorter and 100 pounds lighter, at full speed? He does that 20 times a game and never gets called for an offensive foul.
Maybe if Kirk stood firm and took the charge it would be ok, but he couldn't. Is it Lebron's fault that a much smaller guy is failing to take the charge? Lebron has been called on offensive foul plenty of times so let's not act like he's been exempt from them.

[ripthekik]

:roll: :roll: :roll:
the guy who benefits the most from the refs has the audacity to say this :facepalm

what kirk hinrich did was right. Bron was the one that charged into him with no regard for safety.

Had Kirk just stood there, it would have been an offensive foul on Lebron, which everyone knows cannot be called against him even in the most meaningless game of the season, let alone in a streak-threatening game played in a playoff-type atmosphere. Again, Kirk did the right thing, and it was definitely not a flagrant foul.

the guy who benefits the most from the refs has the audacity to say this :facepalm

what kirk hinrich did was right. Bron was the one that charged into him with no regard for safety.

Gibson had a clean playoff foul. you don't wanna get hit, gtfo of the paint.

this guy showing his true colors as a weak ass biitch.. no wonder why he never responds to kobe's trashtalking.. he's weak :oldlol:

Oh my god, so what you're saying is that Kirk did the right thing because the refs would NEVER call an offensive foul on Lebron if Kirk took a legit charge?
:biggums:

[Derka]

My question: how big should his fine be? Criticizing officiating is verboten under Reichsfuhrer Stern when last I looked.

Or...as in all things...is Lebron also exempt from this rule?

[ProfessorMurder]

Maybe if Kirk stood firm and took the charge it would be ok, but he couldn't. Is it Lebron's fault that a much smaller guy is failing to take the charge? Lebron has been called on offensive foul plenty of times so let's not act like he's been exempt from them.

LeBron is running wildly into him whether he takes the charge or not. LeBron is unsafe.

You have never played organized basketball in your life, have you? Because sounds like you have never been told by your coach to "wrap up the offensive player before he can get an and-1". You haven't even heard it from commentators? And it was Lebron who took Kirk down after the wrap, not the other way around.

This happens to Griffin every game. Deal with it.
You expect defenders to just walk out of the way and let you score the easy point?

And Fish got a flagrant 2 and a one game suspension in the playoffs, not some random regular season game.

Still want fairness? Becuase those two calls he's bringing up are no way flagrant fouls and the Boozer hit was def a flagrant. He saw the pick, loaded up, and used a good amount of force to rock him

Wade is just as dirty as Gibson is...

[Dresta]

He is right in a way: that flagrant was an outrageous call considering the atmosphere of the game. Can't let a guy take hard hits all game and then slap him with a flagrant at the decisive moment, when all he did was run into Boozer a bit harder than usual.

Unbelievable...what a little bitch. Him and Kobe whining for more calls is the lowest the NBA's ever seen. Both can choke on Stern's dick for all I care.

[BlackVVaves]

What? Kirk grabbed his both hands and pulled Lebron down the floor with him. It's not like he made a play at the ball or anything. If you're not up for taking the charge, don't stand in the way.

Lebron put his shoulder down when Hinrich committed to fouling...like Lebron ALWAYS does...and Hinrich wrapped him up. Hinrich's backwards momentum coupled with him trying to keep Bron's arms wrapped up to inhibit him getting of a shot resulted in both of them tumbling. Hinrich did NOT just grab Lebron and throw him to the floor. If you or anyone watched the tape, you'd be able to differentiate.

This is nonsensical. The Heat got beat by the better, more tactful and aggressive team last night. The Bulls limited the Heat in 2 out of their 3 strong points - only 7 threes for the night, and only 11 fast break points (while the Bulls had 17). They made them pay for being outrebounded and played their usual rough defense. As they have been for 3 years now.

"Aint shit changed."

But instead of talking about the Bulls being able to execute a gameplan that many teams simply cannot for 48 minutes, we have thirstbuckets and fanboys whining and crying because a team decided to not let him bulldoze all over the place without consequence. STFU. Please and thank. If Bron wants to question reffing, then question all the calls you DO get on a nightly basis for 9 years now. Don't complain about it after your team is muscled around on national TV. That's petty and unbecoming.

Take the L and move on.

Lebron's check into Boozer easily was a flagrant 1, and maybe even a flagrant 2.

Couldve been either. Youre right.

Whatever the case there was malicious INTENT> It wasnt a norma foul..

Remember when Fisher laid out scola and got SUSPENDED? Only reason Boozer didnt get laid out is because hes a huge solidly built dude. If that was taj, he probably wouldve fell and the teams wouldve went off at each other. Probably wouldve seen a fight.

Lowering your shoulder and making [intentional] contact with a player in such a manner at any time during a basketball game, offensively or defensively, is an illegal play. It was clear the way he turned his head and looked at Boozer before he did it that it was an intentional, salty act. It's not like he didn't see Boozer coming and ran hard into a screen or something.

Hes right. He gets borderline assaulted every night and still only takes like 7 free throws a game. Its funny cause Durant gets breathed on and its a foul and they review for a flagrant.

Do you know the definition of a flagrant foul?

Since a moving screen isn't legal, it's just body checking a guy from behind. What, are you gonna argue? That Chandler was making a play for the ball that LeBron didn't have? What rationale do you have for it not being a flagrant?

It certainly falls into the category of "unnecessary".

Lebron is like Shaq in the way that he gives as much as he gets and that's why he doesn't get every call. Refs constantly turn a blind eye to Lebron's stiff-arming defenders out of the way to get to the rim so it all cancels out.

- Chandler was trying to set a screen for teague or Nate? ( I can't remember who was the guard)

- Lebron did get bumped....but he flopped to all **** then paraded around the court for 5 minutes faking a neck injury....clearly he didn't get hit in the neck.

- Chandlers actions was a moving screen...that is it.....

Thats completely different cause Chandler was on offense. He wasn't intentionally doing an illegal screen with the purpose of roughing up Lebron, at least it wasn't clear enough. Not every moving screen is done with the intent to hurt the defender. Was the physicality unnecessary? Possibly, but the refs ultimately thought it wasn't or that it wasn't clear enough to tell. On the other hand, the Lebron elbow was clearly intentional and unnecessary.

WTF are you talking about? They DID rule it a flagrant. Seems to me they thought it was clear enough.

[bdreason]

Chandler wasn't setting a screen, he was looking to take a cheap shot. It's like in Football, when the QB throws a pick, and some linebacker comes along and lays out the QB pretending to make a 'block'. He's not trying to actually block the QB, he's just taking a chance to lay a hit on the QB.


That said, LeBron with the hilarious flop on that play. :oldlol:

[theBIGjabroni]

Why should he stop doing what he's doing as long as its within the rules? He attacks the rim, its not like he's running into people. Players could take a charge if they want and Lebron would get a foul. It's not Lebron fault if he's too good, fast and strong. But wrestling him down or hitting him while he's in the air is dangerous play and could end up with Lebron landing awkwardly and getting injured and nobody wants that.

Lebron is setting the table for the playoffs. The Heat are more focused than other teams. Yeah, complaining is good and fruitful if done right. Lebron leads the league in points in the paint and there are guys with 200 more FTA's or 3 more Free Throws per game. He's sixth in the league in FTA and he's quicker/faster than all of the guys ahead of him. He got hit in the face a lot in Chicago and wants the refs to key in on that. Why not complain??? Their goal this year is 4 games and done. Avoid the extras. Why not say something? You got facts on your side, a world wide audience, why not help yourself for the playoffs.

Remember the Indiana series when Indi was up 2 to 1 and decided to go the physical route. Miami can go that route, and they have more smarter players than any other team, so the smart brutal fouls get more mileage with less punishment. When things go above board, its the more focused team that wins.

Indiana and the Knicks in the second round is an MMA match if KMart and Ty Chandler are healthy. Lebron has to set the table now.

[Heavincent]

LeBron IS the most unfairly called star in the game today, at least in terms of getting calls on the offensive end. Every night refs ignore 2-3 blatant fouls against him inside, and in general he's taking more contact than any perimeter player in the NBA, but due to his size, refs ignore that. He's the Shaq of swingmen.

I'm glad he finally spoke about it. Spoelstra needs to too.

He technically didn't criticize the officials. He said that guys were making "non-basketball plays" without ever specifically saying the refs didn't call it right.

Show me a specific quote where he criticized the refs and I'll agree with you. I heard his comments, and from what I remember he intentionally walked the fine line and made sure not to directly criticize the refs.

[Just2McFly]

Because he's extremely smart. My point was if he ever got physical with the opposition the same way they do with him, he would injure/kill some of these guys.

Games 2-4 were a travesty.

It was clear starting in the second quarter of game 2 that the refs had had enough and started kneecapping the Thunder. They basically sat on OKC for the rest of that game, and the next two. Letting LeRef and the Heat do pretty much anything they wanted, while OKC had to constantly play shackled.

They had seen what happens in the Mavs/Heat Finals when they call things even close to fair. And they weren't willing to take the chance again.

It's clear if you watched objectively. Now if you're a shameless Heat stan...

The same game 2 where Durant committed about 8 fouls and got to play out the rest of the game?

Nice try. Keep it moving.

[Legends66NBA7]

He could injure somebody. That would just pile more hate on him, not like Kirk or other Bulls aren't already getting enough hate. It would smooth out later.

[Pointguard]

Is James going to get fined for talking about the refereeing of a game?

I don't think so. The words were measured too well and take the shape of Chicago's players not playing clean basketball (a hint at somebody needs to keep the integrity of the game in order). He puts it at the level of the Bulls' players intent not the ref's missing calls. Its Lebron playing Chess, not Checkers.

[Jef]

The league has created this situation by allowing obscene continuation calls. If players don't literally immobilize the guy with the ball,he can break free, regather, and go up for an uncontested And 1 layup (see bosh late last night)

Can't have it both ways, lebron. If you and wade want these continuation calls you need to prepare to get hammered so you have no chance to get the ball up.

[ConanRulesNBC]

LeBron is ****ing soft. I've come to stop hating him so much and at least respect his game. But the comments he made last night made me lose some respect for him again. This is why he would have never been able to hang with the real stars of the '80s and '90s. Crying over hard fouls from Hinrich and Taj? Try playing against Rodman and Thomas on the Bad Boy Pistons. Try playing against Oakley and Stars and Ewing on the '90s Knicks.

[BallsOut]

But LeBron can just barrel into guys that are 7 inches shorter and 100 pounds lighter, at full speed? He does that 20 times a game and never gets called for an offensive foul.

Yep, it's pathetic how a guy that gets away with more travels and offensive fouls than anyone in the league can complain about officiating not going his way. Lebron is a straight up b1tch. He's been given so many calls by the refs, especially in last years playoffs against the Celtics which is why most no one takes his championship ring from last season seriously.

[raptorfan_dr07]

What a p*ssy haha. Those weren't even hard fouls. From a guy that gets favorable officiating from the refs each night, it's pretty ridiculous to hear him cry about biased calls. What a p*ssy league the NBA has become.

They obviously cared about the win streak despite what they've been saying otherwise Lebron wouldn't be mad as hell like that hahaha :oldlol:

[longtime lurker]

Which superstar do you think gets the most no-calls?

It sure as hell isn't Lebron! I don't have time to watch every single basketball game but I think Dwight Howard would be high up on that list. Considering he's had his shoulder rotator popped out twice simply due to hard fouls.

[DatAsh]

Dwight would probably be my number one for superstars in general, but if we limit the discussion to just perimeter superstars, I can't think of any other superstar that gets as many no calls as Lebron. Look at the numbers:

Lebron and Kobe are shooting very similar fta/fga, .394 to .378, respectively, yet when watching the games it's pretty clear that Lebron gets hacked quite a bit more. Kobe's kind of a bad example though, as he's another superstar who gets a lot of no calls, in my opinion. Compare Lebron to Durant: Durant is shooting significantly more fta/fga - .394 to .528 - respectively, despite Durant seemingly being fouled less than Lebron or Kobe.

Limiting the discussion to perimeter superstars, who would you say gets the most no calls on shooting fouls?

Please tell me you're talking about no calls on Lebron. You know, his offensive push-offs and travels, etc.

[DaSeba5]

Without reading 15 pages, I can probably guess this thread was full of LeBron stans fighting with trolls who were mostly Bulls and Knick fans.

As for LeBron, there's really nothing he can do. If he plays physical he will punish these guys and get himself suspended or in foul trouble. No matter what he says he will get trashed on here. There's not even a point of coming on these threads anymore. People are so predictable.

[niko]

Right or wrong, you come off badly after you win 27 in a row to blame officiating in the one loss. Especially when you are practically never called for fouls. Lebron never fouls. He's incredibly physical and he never gets called for fouls. If we are going to look at how people hit him too hard can we look at that too?

Gibson's foul wasn't anything remotely close to these fouls. If those did those fouls today, we'd probably see 5-10 game suspensions.
