Steve Javie hates LeBron

Referee Steve Javie, presumably not calling a well-deserved foul.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but by the numbers, it's completely obvious that NBA official Steve Javie hates LeBron James. I don't have stats from the regular season because I have a life, but take a look at the free throws LeBron has attempted in games officiated by Javie vs. games by other officials in the playoffs:

Javie games: 7, 6, 0
Other officials: 17, 13, 11, 13, 7 (but he only took 16 shots), 15, 9, 11

These are the same teams that are playing. Nothing really changes much in the playoffs re: physicality from game to game. How is it that LeBron goes to the line more than 7 times in 7 of the 11 playoff games thus far and Steve Javie happened to officiate three of the four games he didn't?

Bring back Joseph and the Technicolor Foul Crawford.

And enjoy the NBA 'lottery' tonight, as the Celtics are absolutely going to win. Because you just can't spell ESPN without the 's' and 'n' from Boston.
