I mean I overlook minor traveling and most carrying because seriously. Hoiberg was an idiot for complaining about it.


But that double dribble clearly is the only reason Lebron was beat like that. as the second the other hand touched the ball he changed how he was guarding him.


They didn't call it so it is what it is, but yeah.

man LeBron's D is perfect on that. He went for the block the instant Curry put the ball in both hands and was therefore not allowed to put it on the floor again.

At the time I thought the help D was real lacking

Same. I don't blame the refs for missing that though, it was probably in both hands for barely the blink of an eye.

I think LeBron might have been the only person on the planet who saw it at the moment it happened

nobody would've complained about it in the GDT Curry had his back turned to the camera nobody could have seen it in the original broadcast

Lets say that these jumpers were taken off the between-the-legs dribble, would that help things?

Is KD really that good that's he is just exhausting Lebron on both ends or is more about a lack of production from the Cavs, forcing Lebron to expend precious life force on the court?
