Maybe all of the above are true?

Yeah, good point. For some reason I was thinking of LeBron’s shot as game-tying, rather than Game-winning.

I was flipping between this game and the Houston one up until half-time when I tuned out on the Thunder game. Then I saw on the TNT ticker that the game was tied and I went back to watching both. This is the version of Westbrook that OKC needs to advance in the playoffs, not the one that was mindlessly chasing Rubio…

If only Westbrook and George had played like this for the last 3 games, they wouldn’t even be in such a dire situation to begin with.

At least there’s next year. Everyone else is getting older and slower and Toronto is lurking behind them with an axe to grind.

Is it, though?

Being a Leafs fan(s) sucks.

He might hit more shots than Love has been.

One of the missed calls would have put 2 guaranteed points on the board for the Pacers and made it a 2 possession game, so it isn’t exactly a wash. I think it needs to be understood that refs are going to occasionally miss some close calls though so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. 

The elevated rebounds would have a lot to do with him essentially being Cleveland’s big man and playing as a ‘5' defensively when Love was out and having to guard the rim. As for the assists? Weird things happen sometimes.

It’s clear on the replay, but not a tall in real-time. None of the Pacers even argued that it was a goaltend.

Umm... his teammate?

Hockey too! Why change something that people like? GFY Bettman!

Turrible!

If the ball hit’s the backboard before the blocker touches it, it’s goaltending. This was probably goaltending by LeBron, based on the replay, but in real-time it was incredibly close so the no-call is reasonable.

That argument still puts him behind AD, who carried New Orleans to the post season despite all odds against them with less depth in a stronger conference.

Calling a keyboard key a button seems weird to me despite the fact that that’s exactly what a keyboard key is. I don’t think I’ve even seen one referred to as a button before.

England’s better in the mid-table than Spain, Germany or Italy, but Spain is stronger at the top by some measure and Bayern or Juve would probably win the EPL more often than not.

I agree that Ronaldo is a better candidate this season than Salah, but...

Messi has been great, sure, but his team got bounced from the CL by Roma ( a team Liverpool just lit up for 5 goals ). The CL usually counts for more in the Ballon d’Or race than league accomplishments do. Messi wasn’t the best player in the Champions league this season ( Ronaldo has been ) and the World Cup still…
