LeBron should have gotten it last year.

wow, i can't believe the cavs made it this far

And thompson hit the locker room before the game was over, bring out the pitchforks!

And if it was Isiah Thomas, everyone would hate him forever and never talk about one of the best finals performances ever.

And most of the bad calls were for the warriors tonight.

Everyone knows when you're at home, you're going to get less calls against you but that means the last game had home court on their side and they still lost two games at home this series. I hate it when people blame everything else but the team that lost for why they lose.

 

[sactoking]

It's the Finals, they get away with so much as it is and Green suspended himself so there's no one else to blame. The refs didn't call a Flagrant on him for that either so they have nothing to do with that.

The officiating was bad because they had no control of the floor during that incident. Draymond shouldn't have gotten the flagrant because the officials should have stopped it with a double foul when LeBron and Draymond got tangled up near half court. The fact that an official was standing 3 feet away and staring right at them when it happened and did nothing was shameful.

Aren't you in Cleveland? I know y'all have had turreble luck with sports, but when Miocic won the UFC HW belt last month I think maybe the tide turned for y'all.

yah, we haven't been this close to a championship win since the tribe in game 7 of the '97 series. i still remember how much jose mesa blowing that 9th sucked 😡

but the lake erie monsters just won the AHL title, so at least we got that going for us, which is nice.

And Kerr earning a nice letter from the league in post game.

Yep.

 

[zinfamous]

No. I don't know that I'm on record either way here, thanks for jumping to conclusions. It has just been terrible all around starting with the Draymond incident in game 4. Since then it has been erratic at best. There have just been some turrible, turrible calls in the last two games.

Draymond went for the nut shot when he knew he was under the radar.

that was 100% the right call. Best part was that Lebron egged him into doing it.

classic.

I'ma Clevelander this week.

Need to email my Cleveland buddy from way back when. Hope that dude didn't die tonight...

Who knew, Curry's wife was posting in this thread earlier.


Curry's wife, Ayesha, also was unhappy, tweeting: "I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry."

She later deleted the tweet.

So, where is Mr. Stats coming in trying to give some ridiculous number lying on how Curry is still better than Lebron or how this GSW team is better than the '96 Bulls.

 

[zinfamous]

They said that when the Heat went to 7 games against the Spurs in 2013 and wound up winning the Series.

...that was a bit of a joke, bro. :hmm:

He's at Trump Headquarters crying. 😀

Iguadola being injured can definitely hurt them next game if he's not 100% and it's not because of his offense but his defense.

Harrison Barnes is hurting the Warriors... Missing most of his shots. Hope he doesn't get 20 million next year (would make him the highest paid player on then Warriors).

Seems likely some GM will give him $18+ M per year, but in theory the Dubs front office is too smart to be that guy...

If Iguodala is still limited on Sunday, the game becomes basically a toss up.

I know it was but it wouldn't be new. We need something new.
