Sure, Lebron deserves a lot of calls because he is aggressive. But when you are getting that many calls, how can the fans differentiate between a good call and a bad call anymore? Any time he doesn't get a whistle and scowls, the fans (half of which have been rooting for the Cavs for about 5 years now) think they got ripped off. |
Believe me, I wasn't trying to say their feelings were rational or legit.
As a fan I try very, very hard to not whine about officiating because (a) if I use it as an excuse when the Pistons lose then do I take away credit when it helps them win and (b) a good team wins no matter what, and should never allow the outcome of a game to hinge on a single call.
Frankly I thought the comments by the Suns players were about as crybaby as you can get and I hope they get fined. STFU and play the game!
