Terrible officiating in Cavs 86-85 loss to Bulls


The Cavs lost their second home game last night to Chicago 86-85, mainly because of a terrible no-call on the final drive of the game by LeBron James. It wasn't a pretty game, and the truth of the matter is that the Cavs shouldn't have played down to the Bulls level. In addition Derrick Rose only had 14 points. Regardless, LeBron had the ball in his hands at the end of the game, and drove left towards the basket. What happened next was the worst no-call in the history of Cleveland sports. The referee failed to see the clear assault by Joakim Noah on LeBron's elbow. It was so obvious that he didn't block the ball cleanly, and also ran into James' body, while he was busy smacking LBJ's arm. Even though the Cavs allowed them to hang around, the game should have been won on the two free throws that LeBron would have made if the proper foul was called. I hate poor officiating and I hate to see it affect the end result of a game. How do you not make that call? We should have won if not for the blind man wearing a black and white jersey. LeBron James is underrated
