I feel as though being a 'Zards fan through the Gilbert Arenas era created a hatred for LeBron. But in reality, it should've shone light to the league on how terribly inconsistent referees are.
In today's game, it's worse than ever.
Vine videos are everywhere should DWade, Jeremy Lin, LeBron, and any center worth talking about taking 3, 4, 5, 6 steps. This is where I have a problem, as I'm aware millions of others do as well.
Fouls are completely subjective to interpretation, generally speaking.
The number of steps someone takes is not. It's a quantitative measurement. They're counted. 1, 2, 2.5... anything more?

So imagine my state of mind upon waking up with a 3-1 series lead playing the star-less Bulls in Chicago. Oh, and the Hawks are up 3-2 on the Pacers?!
Putting aside not having won a playoff series since Xerox was still relevant, the Wiz are historically 5-0 when leading a series 3-1. With Nene back, Taj Gibson shouldn't be too much of a factor, so it'll be up to Augustin, Dunleavy, Hinrich, and Jimmy Butler to shoot the lights out as a few of them did in Game 3.
I can't see Boozer doing much in Game 5 - he's an old headcase that can barely dunk with the slightest contest of his shot. A detriment on defense, "leadership" and his ugly jumper are all that keep him on the court for comparable durations to Gibson. Gortat and Nene will play their normal pesky, incessant defense to stifle the Bulls' paint game.
Prediction: Wizards win 103-95; close until the end.
