LeBron never pre-meditated a shot the way the Wizards seemed to do all series long. The trash talk? Yup. All coming out of the Wizards locker room. You can claim that LeBron gets every call, it you want. The stats don't really back it up and he takes a lot of contact that doesn't get called. He goes to the line a lot because he has the ball a lot. He gets fouled a lot because he gets double and triple teamed a lot. And of course he gets hammered taking the ball to the hole. But I guess they should just let them play so as not to appear to favor LeBron James. 716053@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 May 2008 08:11:12 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/05/140709.php#comment-716036 Songaila should be given the benefit of the doubt, because LeBron always is. LeBron elbows a Wizards in the face and is given a retroactive flagrant, that the NBA tries to cover up. After Stevenson elbows LeBron in the face the NBA warns the Wizards that any Wizards to make contact with LeBron's face or head would be automatically suspended. The league's mollycoddling of James is sickening. He gets every ticky-tack foul and hardly ever gets called for his constant charges and carries. I wish the league would just be up front with it. Spot the Cavs 10 points at the beginning of each game and have each members of the opposing team start with a technical. 716036@blogcritics.org Wed, 7 May 2008 03:49:10 EDT
