Series Thread: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals Thread

[purguy12]

That Livingston putback was a clear goaltend, right? Does anyone contend that?

WHAT no way u are being a Homer if you think that. It was clear that it was off. All announcers even mention it.

GSW fans have been telling us all season, about how much better Kerr is than Mark Jackson. Now's his chance to truly show it. He needs to make adjustments to keep the Cavs from turning them into the jump shooting team we've been seeing.

I have no doubt he will. It took them two games to adjust to Memphis' defense but once they did they didn't lose another game in that series. Patience is the key here.

Yeah JVG called it bad live... then shut up real quick when they showed the replay... pretty clear interference, IMO

So does GS starting doubling James more?? It seems like they gradually did it more later in the game. If guys arent hitting shots it can work out, but it can also get others more involved and get in a rhythm. So I am interested to see what adjustments Kerr makes.

I definitely agree with you that there are some amazing things going on. The refs didn't decide the outcome of either game, and that's not what I've ever tried to imply. I'm pointing out more of the "WTF" calls went against Cleveland than GS, especially last night. Maybe it's just me, but the two instances with Green stick out much more because on a jump ball, the two jumpers are supposed to be watched very closely, and each time he got away with blatantly holding down a Cavs player, and both times GS came away with the ball.

I'm sure it evens out since the Cavs got away with a lot of fouls they committed but never called for and also gettin phantom calls when clearly there weren't fouls committed against them. I'm guessing they don't like when the calls don't favor them, but had no beef when they did.

Actually 3. They were down 2-1, but whatever.

What?? Being down 2-1 means they won a game. They actually won the first game and won it easily. My goodness...did you even watch that series?

What? You really believe that ball was in the cylinder?

 

[Montalban]

Even though this last game was a horrific performance by the Warriors (and the refs) I think they will win game 4 in Cleveland and re-gain the home court.

Just one of many bad calls last night, but they seemed to go both ways. The Warriors have no one to blame but themselves for last night's loss.

 

[LAD]

Are we still complaining about the refs?? man O man


Hey too bad Dellevadoobie cannot guard Curry, hit big shots, and make plays on D huh? No one wanted to give the guy props and what did Curry do? 5 for 23?

GS has led 26 minutes of this series. At home.


Defense wins championships

He had a nice defensive game last night...but really you want to crown him the next King or something after only one game? Goodness. My guess is most people (even you included) didn't expect the Cavs to do much or win since everyone here is acting like they won the series already. One game. There are plenty of people here who expect the Cavs to win at least one game. SMH

What? Uhh, yeah. Any part of the ball in the cylinder = offensive interference. Remember, that ball hit the rim, popped up... and is coming straight down in that picture.

Put your homer glasses away and watch the actual play it was clearly not goaltending

I guess you missed where Delly did a great job on D Rose in the Bulls series as well. The Cavs rolled and played great D with no Kyrie/Love during the entire playoffs. But I remember now... It was because of how weak the East was. that's right.

Do you watch any games outside the Western Conference by chance? Some of us have been watching this movie during the entire playoffs.

And it wasn't just Delly. GS scored 87 points at the end of regulation.

Memphis held GS under 100 points 3 times, the problem was their offense was just not good enough especially with a banged up Conley. That was their problem.

Refs rule Livingston's putback offensive interference : nba

Oh I couldn't agree more on both points. The Dubs getting bad calls is nothing new. Have watced that happen a lot during the reg season and in the playoffs. But, when they're playing well they can usually overcome those calls. Lastnight was just bad.
They took Delly off of Klay because he was getting used badly. The alternative was to put him on Curry and it appeared to slow him down. But come on. For people to say the reason he shot poorly was solely because of Delly is just not being honest. Because when Delly was guarding Klay Curry was missing shots then too.

Curry had a couple of shots literally go in the basket and then bounce right back out. It happens...that's what EVERY shooter experiences from time to time. But, Curry being the most prolific shooter in the game right now will bounce back. I wonder what the game will look like when Curry gets his 40 point night...and if it will be a close game or not.

What about Game 3? lol
Cavs shot 7% worse and missed 12 free throws. Talk about bad.

D Rose?? Really, the same D Rose that plays on one leg?? Stop it.

 

[Shanemansj13]

There is no doubt that was goaltending. Why is this even argued about lol. It was on the rim, it was very clear.
