For a second i thought steph was gonna hit the ref

6/17/2016 12:08:39 PM

His wife tweeted later and complained.

But now things are changing.

And he actually hit the son of cavs' owner.

Try watching other players too...Durant was getting held all of last series. And the screens that they're setting for Curry...those screeners are grabbing/holding/moving.

I'm not saying the Cavs aren't getting away with a little extra in the playoffs...I'm just saying its going on everywhere and with everyone.

And you can't compare off the ball no-calls with blatant strips and reach-ins on the ball right in front of the ref.

if you look at it that way, you are automatically giving the advantage to the cavs since they play isolation and dribble one on one all game. thats whats unfair about it. a foul should be a foul.

Lebron is still the best player on this planet. He's been playing the finals for 7 freaking times, never misses since 2011, and he's still getting better. He's become an icon of Cleveland and a hero with underdog situation. If he finally leads cavs winning 3 games in a row from 1-3 to 4-3 and beats arguably the best team since Bulls, he's bigger than Jordan.

^^Not disagreeing, but it's the reason why GSW has struggled all postseason. The refs are letting teams get away with a lot more on defense off the ball. The Thunder did the same thing.

But let's not act like Thompson and Curry haven't been getting open looks. They're just missing more of them. And even when they are hitting them, Cleveland is playing some damn good offense. Gotta play both ways GSW!

6/17/2016 5:08:55 PM

Golden state wants the calls on holds when Curry and Klay are cutting, and that's legit. They are getting bumped and held a lot. It's legit, but if they start calling that then I hope they also stsrt calling the moving screens and holds by the guys setting the picks.

There isn't a team in the league that sets more illegal screens than GSW. That's why the loss of Bogut hurts. It isn't his rim protection or rebounding, he's an excellent screener.

6/17/2016 5:31:32 PM

i'll turn the game off at halftime if kerr isn't trapping lebron and letting him walk around with rondo treatment for 20 seconds just to pick his point of attack.

6/17/2016 6:09:21 PM

NBA isn't gonna be able to, or have a need to, suspend Green or foul out Curry now that they've got their cash cow game 7. #Curryspiracy

6/17/2016 7:24:42 PM

The NBA conspiracy doesn't make any sense. The NBA makes the same amount of money whether the series goes 4 or 7. The TV deal is the TV deal.

Now, you could argue that Golden State wanted game 7 because of ticket revenue, or ESPN wanted it for the content they could fill, or ABC wanted to be able to charge higher ad rates, but the NBA doesn't directly get shit from a game 7.

6/17/2016 9:07:23 PM

^exactly. but nobody wants to hear that.

6/17/2016 9:49:21 PM

Yeah but the nba and ABC are partners..

Let's be serious gsw didn't lose because of the refs they got annihilated that game.

But cmon plenty of shady nba games over the years particularly during the stern era

6/18/2016 3:59:01 PM

game 7 on a holiday is sure to break records. game 7 on memorial day broke all the cable records. fathers day is even more of a "sit around and watch tv" type of night.

6/18/2016 4:09:02 PM

Yeah, epic.

6/19/2016 9:27:57 AM

I'm going Cavs by 4. LeBron is going to have another monster, all time game. Klay will keep the Dubs in it but won't be enough.

6/19/2016 4:43:30 PM

i'm expecting the knicks to make a big offer to go for love in the offeseason. im imagining a dream lineup that looks something like this.

beal (max)
harrison barnes (max)
carmelo (max)
kevin love
dwight howard

6/19/2016 4:58:27 PM

Nah.

KD
Melo
Barnes
Dwight Howard
Jeremy Lin

With KP off the bench and for some reason Omar Asik.

6/19/2016 5:16:08 PM

Seems like a GSW by about 20 type game.

Don't see it being by less than 10, and can't imagine GSW losing a game 7 at home.

Going to be laughable when GSW wins and, once again, Lebron doesn't get a Finals MVP that he deserves.

6/19/2016 5:34:23 PM

^^,^^^ why would any of those guys want to go to the Knicks? Is this the 1970s?

maybe Lin would go back

[Edited on June 19, 2016 at 5:40 PM. Reason : people act like the Knicks are the Lakers or Celtics]

6/19/2016 5:36:27 PM

Nobody's going to the fucking Knicks. They're awful, they have an awful owner, Phil is clueless, and their fans are absurd.

6/19/2016 6:00:12 PM

Lin is likely staying local.

6/19/2016 7:26:55 PM

i was trying to joke by saying the knicks would throw a bunch of money at people who aren't doing shit right now

6/19/2016 8:04:22 PM

YOUR JOKES ARE NO GOOD HERE, SIR

6/19/2016 8:10:52 PM

"Barnes with no hesitation"

Perhaps he should have some hesitation

6/19/2016 8:26:03 PM

Lebron is a god-damn ed KING KONG.

6/19/2016 8:28:16 PM

man this first half is absolutely stellar so far

6/19/2016 8:59:24 PM

phantom 2nd fouls on curry and thompson

6/19/2016 8:59:52 PM

kyrie slaps his off arm out you can't call a foul for contact with it

6/19/2016 9:00:37 PM

I swear Draymond is trying to get a technical right now. Talking all kinds of shit to Lebron every time he gets close to him. Refs just had words with him.

6/19/2016 9:00:57 PM

it actually looks pretty optimistic for cleveland right now considering the absurd 3 pt differential

6/19/2016 9:03:47 PM

lebron talked shit to curry after another block but then curry got in his face and green had something to say once the ref broke em up. if only they were micd up all game! That should be a new rule. they could sale premium membership to hear it.

they are trying to call the game in a way that lebron and kyrie score 40 each.

[Edited on June 19, 2016 at 9:05 PM. Reason : touch them its a foul]

6/19/2016 9:05:03 PM

if anyone ever doubted ayesha we all know for sure now after that last foul on curry

6/19/2016 9:12:03 PM

You think maybe the refs might take public criticism and then on court bitching at the start of this game personally?

Cavs are fortunate to be this close. Good news is that they probably won't shoot 7% from three in the second half. Bad news is that the Warriors might shoot 50% in the second half.

6/19/2016 9:16:15 PM

what happened in the first half to make you think ezeli should start the 2nd half?

6/19/2016 9:32:58 PM

Yeah, Warriors bench has gotten really short. Ezeli, Varejao, Barbosa look like they have no place in a game 7. Pretty much starters and Livingston from here out.

6/19/2016 10:02:37 PM

Varejo better not play in the fourth or Cavs win easily.

6/19/2016 10:03:32 PM

kerr choking it away

6/19/2016 10:19:50 PM

In comes Ezeli, and immediately fouls James for 3 free throws.

6/19/2016 10:20:08 PM

eh i know everyone rides james' nuts for not being assertive enough in crunch time but man he just totally gassed himself doing absolutely everything on offense, irving was hot too, would be nice to get him involved a little more

6/19/2016 10:25:51 PM

Yeah, he's lost his legs a bit. he doesn't have his good first step right now. He needed that TV timeout.

6/19/2016 10:27:40 PM

Goddamn that block....

6/19/2016 10:30:09 PM

got damn block of the century

6/19/2016 10:30:24 PM

That was almost Tayshaun Prince level.

6/19/2016 10:31:13 PM

lebron broke his wrist does kerr get to pick the shooter

6/19/2016 10:34:06 PM

Huge free throw. What a fucking game

Are you fucking kidding me? Way to bend over and spread your assholes, GS.

6/19/2016 10:40:57 PM

awesome moment for lebron, dude is expending everything and prob only has 2-3 good years left on his legs, couldn't root against them, I'd still like to see Curry get a couple more titles though

(also good to see two teams overcome the 3-1 thing, so sick of that always being cited)

[Edited on June 19, 2016 at 10:43 PM. Reason : k]
