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

Just don't DDT Michael Beasley and kick Steven Adams in the groin and then you're free to react without fear of suspension.

Beasley got the Cavs their ring.
He should have been given one.

Its a subjective call, its not a clear-cut block in my opinion.

Misconception that you aren't allowed to move laterally. I mean, steve Javy said during and after the game that he thought it was a charge and his job is to back up the refs.

I wouldn't have a problem with either call in live action, its a 50-50 play that could go either way.

Um no. He said they made the right call after the review.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Issue was 1 ref called a charge and 1 a block. They got the call right imo and the Hill foul was a make up call.

Some poster on this thread said that both refs called a charge. What was it? I thought 1 ref call a charge and 1 called a block.

 

[LAD]

My gawd, these LBJ/Cavs fans are terrible tonight. Lol

 

[gordontrue]

Really? That's what you're going with? Do you think they're looking at feet when a guy's driving through the lane like that in traffic? I

What do you mean that's what I'm going with? Its literally the rule. I'm just explaining the rule.

And yeah, it is hard for me to think that a ref would have doubt about whether he was in the restricted area. I'll take their word for it, but I don't think it speaks great for them.

I mean look how far out he is.

I've seen guys trying to take a charge against him and move their shoulders an inch and get the call against them for the and one. If that were James driving the lane he'd get that call 100% of the time. What exactly are you complaining about?

Two different calls on the floor.

They aren't looking at feet. They're looking for contact and then there is players down on the court waiting for the refs to make a decision. Like I said in an earlier post, the rule sucks but it is what it is and the ultimate call was the correct one.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Lol

I heard on the radio where the Cavs announcers said James mugged Looney ( with about 4 minutes to go, Warriors up 6) and it wasnt called, then Cavs scored a few seconds later.

Nobody mentioning that?

Who said I'm complaining. I said its a close play that could go either way. I disagree that its an obvious block.

I don't like the weird rule about reviewing charge/block but only if the restricted area is involved, but I can live with the outcome of this particular play. The end result of it being a block is certainly not an egregious call in my opinion.

And yet the complaints keep coming.

They should be lol. Its a very important part of their job. Are they just supposed to guess on the restricted area rule on every play cause they can't be bothered to look at their feeet?

LBJ been fouling all game, as usual.

If you're unable to engage in a conversation with labeling every opinion that differs from yours as a complaint thats on you.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

James and JR/Hill prob not having post game dinner together?

Remember that play they called a block in the Pacers series that was a goal tend & cost them that game?? Except they made the right call tonight.

Honestly I genuinely think you got that backwards.

Looney stripped him, the refs didn't call a foul but the replay he very clearly fouled him.

It was right after LeBron cleanly stripped Durant but got called for that foul (although there was a legitimate argument that Nance fouled him so you could call that a wash, they just got the wrong guy).

 

[wildturkey]

Lulz. He's on something alright

Sure, I'm the problem here
