NBA Finals: Cleveland Cavs VS Golden State Warriors

[tlance]

It's a fact.

I posted the video.

They MADE that result happen.

Even the NBA refs (easily the worst in all of pro sports) aren't that bad.

And that's just one quarter.

I watched the video from an objective viewpoint. There were a couple bad calls in there, but most were legit fouls. There are bad calls against both teams in every quarter of every game. I am sure this one probably favored LA, but simply saying that the result was fixed because of a high FT number is silly at best.

Now, let's get back to Cleveland and GS.

Rumors are that Cleveland may bring Love off the bench in game 4. Lue did not give a straight answer last night.

You can't bench Love. That is a huge slap in the face and will likely to be the end of Love in Cleveland even if they win the title.

The Pierce block on the dunk is the only debatable one. The rest are flat out wrong.

How about Allen's foul when Kobe swept through and caught Allen's arm on the 3 attempt? That is a frustrating play for a Celtic fan, but there is zero debate whether it was a foul.

Most of the other calls, like Garnett's close out to Gasol's body were 50-50. The refs could have swallowed the whistle, but that does not mean they were not fouls.

The ONLY terrible foul call I saw was Big Baby on Gasol.

He jumped into Ray. Jumping unnecessarily sideways. NO way.

Classic superstar nonsense bail out to keep the game close call.

Especially when they showed multiple plays of allen getting hit on the elbow during his regular shooting motion. Not jumping into guys.

We'll see who laughs the loudest a little later....

Boom.

 

[bksballer89]

After avg 27.5 PPG after games 1 and 2 of the finals last year, Klay is now avg 10.8 PPG in his last 7 NBA finals games. This is the 2nd best players on the Warriors guys

@WiggyRuss you can come out of hiding now. I know you want to. I won't judge you

I will. I will judge.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LOL....If you really wanted to win tonight the Dubs would've been the $mart pick....
But hey, judging by your abysmal betting record, it's no wonder you picked the cadavers to win tonight.

Cleveland = Bereaveland.

Post those and maybe you have a better case. Just not in this thread.

The Allen call had nothing to do with Kobe jumping sideways. His arm was caught on Kobe's left wrist as he went up for his shot. That is a very easy call for any ref to make. Any objective basketball person would acknowledge this. The body contact did not get the call, Allen's hand was on Kobe's arm. This was a textbook call.

If Wiggy does not come back in the next 2 days, then I think people need to lay off him a bit. That will more or less prove that his absence was unrelated to the Cavs performance.

True I agree. He has logged in so maybe he's going through some shit.

Yeah I had enough Celtics/Lakers talk on this finals thread

 

[trojanfan12]

This is some amazing fiction.

Please tell me you write more. You have a gift for making sh*t up.

Kobe was owned. He was abominable in game 7 until they started making up fouls on the celtics to send him to the FT line.

The video proves all.

whcih only happens because he jumps into him sideways. Total bailout.

The fact that nba won't apologize for that game is astounding.

And imagine that, all those terrible calls started when Boston went up 12 or 14....what a coincidence!!

No one said that.

that was a great series. Back and forth.

They should've let the players decide the end of the game. Not a parade of made up free throws on one end and ignoring real fouls (or calling 3 seconds with 20 seconds left on the shot clock) on the other.

Pretty sure you just did.

That's one game .

Not one word has been talked about the other games except for the one idiot Laker fan mocking a torn ACL

I've been following the NBA since 1970. I've never seen a Celtics fan simply say "Good game." It's always the refs fault.
