if the Cavs don't figure out how to score some points, they won't be playing in the finals this year.

On the foul argument, stars get punished, no doubt about it. I get to see that everyday with Dwight Howard and the stuff opposing defenders are allowed to get away with. However, Lebron is one of the most protected players in the league. Sometimes the slightest contact is called for a foul, and he always gets the benefit of the whistle. Teams that play against the Cavs have a legit argument here. Of all the tough fouls Lebron has supposedly received, only one was a real tough one when Haywood knocked him on the floor. All the other fouls have been blown out of proportion because it's Lebron. For example, when both Songaila and Cassell slapped him in the face, he acted as if Mike Tyson had knocked him down senceless, and that type of acting is what some people may find a bit annoying. On the other hand, teams rely on some "tricks" if you will to go after these guys trying to stop them. In the end, stars, specially Kobe, Lebron, and Wade will get the benefit of the call almost every time.
