Calls were most definitely slanted. Not taking away from LeBrons monsterous of a game and performance, but there were many calls you'd roll your eyes at for them calling in a game 7.

There were bad calls on both teams. Stop acting like the refs were one sided.

One thing to let them play, which I agree with, but Cavs were more aggresive, which makes a huge difference.

James cramping up might have been the reason they won.
Does Love get those shots if James stays in the game?

Late in the game refs certainly made some calls in favor of the Pacers, that LeBron late offensive foul call was one. But the chippy calls made against guys (Pacers) going after rebounds in a game 7 were just that, chippy. No need to call about half the calls made in this game 7.

Interesting point and I thought the same thing. LeBron going out probably solidified the win for Cleveland, it got all 5 guys involved in the offense, rather than just the offense running through LeBron. Look, Cleveland needed LeBron to win this game, but while he was in the Pacers were figuring out that the ball was running through LeBron every single possession. So him coming out allowed for all 5 guys to play without him out there.

Just stop. If the Pacers would have won you wouldn't be bitching about the refs.

Exactly. A young team just learned what playoff basketball is all about.
I got bad news for the Pacers. Young talented team, but I'd never bank on McMillan winning a game 7.

The Pacers got calls in Indiana.

Stop it.

Sure I would, it would just be different. Pacers played hard and overcame the slight slant the refs gave to Cleveland.

You're a silly goose if you don't think the NBA wants Cleveland in the Finals. You're also blind if you don't think there is a little tampering going on in situations like this, isn't an NBA ref in prison for such a thing?

Why did Pacers get late game calls that they weren't getting earlier in the game? Check the spread, follow the money.

If Pacers get too close for comfort late in the game, well it's a competitive and physical game 7, blow the whistle there is a foul out there somewhere.

Pacers should have been hacking Tristan.
Plain and simple.

Yeah thought they were going to do that when he went to the line late in the game and went 1/2.....But then again they are probably thinking if they did that the Lue would take him out and whats the big deal if he is off the floor because he hasn't been on the floor all series. So Pacers probably thought, lets keep him out there because he may be a liability in other areas.
