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

[DJ Fieri]

not his usual word waterfall, though...

 

[The Q]

Calls tend to go both ways and even out over the course of a game more or less.

It just sucks when several blatant ones that don't go your way aren't reviewable and then the one 50-50 call that finally does go your way is reviewable based on a technicality that didn't even seem to fit the situation.

Exception: Game 7, 2010.

we still gotta hear this...?

seriously...?

 

[Pastafazul]

lol, could not have happened at a better time!

I guess when JR Schitt played for the knicks, was out nite clubbing, smoking weed during post season wasn’t enough proof this idiot doesn’t belong in the NBA.

You get what you deserve!


Knicks in 7..... that’s decades

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Ok, I actually missed that. What happened with Love?

He left the bench and walked on the court during the Whiteside, oops, I mean Tristan meltdown.

Just the refs severely sticking it to the Cavs, should at least bought them dinner first.

Blame the rules.
Refs on the court only ask for the review.
People in NJ make final decision, right?

1) they had no right to ask for a review, Lebron was no where near the semi circle.

2) it's not at all clear they got that right when both of KD's feet were still on the ground and he wasn't even looking at the basket when Lebron established legal guarding position.

3) what is the standard of evidence to overturn a call on replay for the nba? Is it similar to MLB and NFL?

It's funny about people blaming the refs.

In the end, the Cavs went to the FT line down 1 with 4.7 seconds left and had 2 chances at the game.

1) Hill missed his 2nd FT which left the game tied.
2) JR could've called a time out as soon as he got the rebound and Cavs have a chance for a buzzer beater.

Refs weren't perfect, but Cleveland blundered the opportunity in the end. But yeah, 100% the refs fault.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I have the pleasure of being in Cleveland today.
Should be fun times.
I wish I had a Warriors jersey.

Nevermind the overturned charge call. How about the clear lane violation at the free throw attempt. Or the series LeBron drives clearly replayed showed he got fouled, play resumes LeBron gets the steal and gets called for a foul. Both replays clearly showed that happen.

I guess they said they most look for contact vs feet, knowing they can go back and look.

Miss free throws are going to happen, I always hated JR Smith, now I have more reason to do so. I don't know why we have kept him around.

naw, don't wanna see you get lynched today...

Because given your cap situation, you had no choice but to re-sign your starting 2-guard.

Yeah, unfortunately.

If JR doesnt come up with that rebound there's a decent shot the warriors win in regulation.

It was a dumb moment but doesn't deserve the reaction it's getting imo.

I didn't see the game.
I did hear on radio the CAVS announcers say the refs missed a clear James foul vs Looney.

It's the NBA, always bad calls both ways.

To think all of the sudden the league or refs are against Cavs is fucking hilarious.

Usually the talk is they want the series extended.
The Cavs losing this game does the exact opposite.

Refs should of called the lane violation.
