I've watched nearly every Cav's game and the amount of contact they are letting go is insane. I get it, it's nearly impossible to officiate a player like Lebron and Shaq, they initiate much of the contact and rarely experience the force that comes with it. Lebron this season is attacking the basket relentlessly, in fact this is the highest amount of shots he has attempted at the rim in his career. There were countless occasions where the refs had an opportunity to call a foul but didn't last night.
Don't get me wrong Lebron still get's superstar call's particularly on what he is allowed to do on defense, but "superstars" like James Harden and others are getting to the line more frequently with less contact.
I'm also going to add another player who is also in his 30s who doesn't seem to get the benefit of the calls and that is Carmelo. What do you think is the reason for the lack of calls and do you think it will continue as the season continues?
Some points to note: (Trying to make this as factual as possible so I don't get called a Lebron stan)

James is averaging 7.5 free-throw attempts per game this season, tied for fifth in the league with DeAndre Jordan and Andrew Wiggins. He's trailing only James Harden (10.9), DeMarcus Cousins (10.0), DeMar DeRozan (8.3) and Russell Westbrook (7.6) in receiving the most calls in his favor.
One argument in James
