Van Gundy: Refs won't call offensive fouls on LeBron, 'he gets to do what he wants'
Matt Marton / USA TODAY Sports
Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy had some choice words about NBA officiating Sunday.
During a sideline interview after the first quarter of the Pistons' first-round series opener in Cleveland, Van Gundy said his troops need to understand one simple fact when defending the Cavaliers: The officials aren't going to call offensive fouls on LeBron James.
That's not entirely true.
According to 82games.com, James was whistled for 33 offensive fouls this season, so maybe Van Gundy was just salty after James lit his team up for 10 points and four assists in the first quarter.
