Bleacher Report has an uncut video of the full time from the Cavs getting to the bench until the time they had to go back out on the court for OT after Smith botched the final play

Atta boy, Lue.

what kind of a person says "heartbreaking" for crap like this?

Lue as a coach is a joke.

His dejection when he found it they did have a timeout, he was just done with it, done with everything.

Sry for the down vote. Thanks for posting. Interesting reaction by Lebron. I was wondering why a time out wasn’t called. I guess that was the point he was trying to make.

And that's just not good because the reality is.........when your mind is like that, your game follows.

And the damned game was still in the balance.

well, lebron did try calling timeout as well, so if he didn't know they had one left, then he was risking a technical foul

Lebron tried but I think it was with about .8 seconds left.

The NBA rule as I understand it is different than college in that you wouldn't get a technical, but the refs would just ignore it. So it was the right play by Lebron to try and get the timeout there, it was just too late even though he technically asked in time, but you can't expect the ref there to catch it that late.

Pretty sure there's no technical, the ref just ignores the call in the NBA.

Lebron knows his coach is worse than his opponents. Has been for every round of the playoffs.

Lebron knows his supporting cast is worse than his opponents. Has been for every round of the playoffs.

If you make Lebron equal to the best two players on Boston and the best two players on Golden State then Cleveland still is less talented.

Take out Horford and Tatum and Boston still has Brown, Rozier, and Smart.

Take out Curry and Durant and Golden State still has Thompson and Green.

Time to go to a team that can help him out. If Houston can resign Capela and Paul along with sign Lebron then the 73 wins record is in jeopardy. With Harden and Paul to help with the scoring I can see Lebron averaging a triple double.

1. LeBron should know if they had a timeout, just like jr should have known the score.

2. LeBron should have been on the line to rebound and not at midcourt (arguing with refs still?).

3. LeBron started to try to call a timeout and then appeared to stop short of actually calling it and then pointed for Jr to pass the ball. I suspect LeBron wasn't sure if that had a TO and was utterly confused by wtf Jr was doing.

that was definitely a cluster.. but it wasnt as bad as its made out to be. No guarantees you make the shot, plus hill shoulda made his FT. The worst part of the game that should be focused on is the review that changed the game. This incident with JR has saved the refs, and the league with its coverage. The cavs would have had the ball, up 2, with 30seconds. Instead the refs changed a call, which made it a tie game. Thats possibility of a 4pt swing with 30seconds to go. Thats 100000x worse than the JR mishap.

Where they got the call right after looking at it? Now tell me how Lebron was 10’ outside the restricted area.

did they replay all other 50 fouls/non fouls that game go make sure they get them right? They used the replay system to change a judgement call in a way they are not supposed to do. They can review if he was inside the restricted area or not, thats it. Once that is determined they are not supposed to completely change a call. end of story

Well you once again don’t know shite. They specifically explained it during the game that while looking at the replay they CAN change a block/charge call.

yea they have their language covered in rule book. Just weird they didnt review any other fouls while under the 2 min mark.. even more weird they have never done that before in history. But hey, what do i know. Go sit down with the other children kid
