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

[True Lakers Fan]

It didn't seem like the Warriors put a lot of effort in this game - I look to see them increase their intensity in game 2

Sure, but he was probably already pissed at JR, then there was all the trash talk going on, and then he gets ejected for challenging a shot that shouldn't have even been taken. Then Dray starts spouting off and he lost his cool. Not an excuse, just a chain of events. TT has to be smarter.

TT isn't smarter though - he has few of his own on YouTube - He is a long ways from being innocent -He and Dray are in the same league in that regard

...because Dray has a long history of this kind of crap and really is a douche

And also went over his flagrant foul points limit

[Heatles84]

LOL.

Draymond was suspended for an accumulation of repeated flagrant fouls over the course of several games.

Fully aware. His flagrant foul was bull shit though.

fuck. i have to be up in 5 hours and i'm so wound up from this game i can't possibly fall asleep for at least another 45 min - hr.

@Used 2 B Hu !! I'll need to borrow your gin, please

Yea they will run them out of the building in Game 2 and steal one in Cleveland. Cavs shouldn't have pissed this game away. The Easiest game to win on the opponents HC is Game 1

 

[shopson67]

You shouldn't. What could've been disastrous (if JR wasn't an idiot) became an easy win when the Cavs couldn't recover from that blunder.

 

[Heatles84]

Lol except that's not what Dray was suspended for. It was repeated incidents over the course of several games.

Fully aware. Hence, bullshit flagrant foul.

 

[bksballer89]

He pushed the ball in his face; it wasn't a punch.

Yeah....no way he getting suspended for that. Only thing they would have done is upgrade it to a flagrant 2 if it wasn't called that at the time of the play

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

If TT does get suspended, it's pretty much a gift and blessing at that point for the Cavs.

So why should the league punish the Dubs for what an opposing player did???

It's a catch 22 shituation...imho.

 

[gordontrue]

Ty lue going with the Phil Jackson move. We'll see if it pays off.

I don't believe in rigged reffing at all, but human psychology is a real factor that the refs can't 100% avoid.

 

[Heatles84]

The gift that keeps on giving.

...except that the Warriors have looked like that for at least part of every game lately. They SHOULD come out and stomp, but they have to be focused. That focus has been rare lately.

 

[Heatles84]

True story

That's what I said earlier - Cleveland could have had this one and that would have given them one of the two wins they could have had. Now they will be lucky to get one

 

[LAD]

And Tristan received a flagrant at the time of the play. There is nothing more to do

Which is what makes the second altercation even worse. He was already ejected...shouldn't have even walked back over to the refs.

 

[Kold]

Underrated moment of the game(well one of)....Klay Thompson with the foul on George Hill. It was the only option as Klay was on Korver

 

[CitySushi]

I don’t think Draymond should have gotten suspended I’m 2016. Would be a hypocrite to suggest Tristan should be suspended.

This is the finals. Shouldn’t be affected by a suspension for something that’s not clearly egregious. IMO.

The refs were wrong for ejecting him. Tony Brothers season should be done after that crap
