It's no secret that NBA superstars tend to get away with more than other players. It's also a common belief that the home team gets the benefit of the doubt from the referees.
With his team playing against LeBron James in Cleveland on Sunday, Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy said his team must know the way he believes the game will be called.
"LeBron's LeBron."
In other words, he's getting the calls. That's just the way the game goes.
Van Gundy would like the referees to treat every player equally, superstar or not. But he also said his players can't get frustrated with the refs if they believe the calls aren't going their way; they need to figure out a way to play under those circumstances and not leave it up to the refs to make a call.
Of course, Van Gundy let the referees and the league know he would like to see the rest of the first-round playoff series officiated differently than the first half of Game 1.
