that Bellabedova kid isnt backing down and not bought in to the Curry Hype.
MVP's don't have bad games in the Finals.
especially at home.
you can really tell who the NBA is favoring now that all the Bandwagoners are buying #30 jerseys.
Lebron was Hacked many many times late in the 4th while Bellabedova was fouled on a pull up and ran over by speights after he missed that dunk cuz of Fatness, no calls.
I dont like either team, but obvious things can't be over looked. the ref looked straight at igoudala hack james and was like derp, Adam silver told me not to call it, gotta help dem warriors win, more ratings more monies more jersey sales.
such a joke
You were clearly watching a different game if you think the Warriors were getting favored by the refs. There were plenty of phantom calls that favored the Cavs during most of the game.

And you've clearly never seen Curry play if you think having his shots contested makes any difference to him. Plenty of those shots were entirely routine for Steph. Don't anticipate that crappy shooting performance happening again. There's no defense to figure out Steph or Lebron, they will just make shots.

And like OneManArmy mentioned, the NBA does not want a sweep. It's bad for money, they'd make every series go to 7 games if they could.

The refs let them play yesterday but still favored the Cavs in terms of FT attempts (40 Cavs, 25 GS). That was playoff basketball, Kerr and the team didn't play like it was game 2 of the finals. Klay was the only one who showed up.

I don't understand the Curry shot in OT. He wasn't hitting anything. Klay should have taken it. Same play but roll Klay behind a Steph screen.

I was hoping he would drive and get contact and a layup. At least with the layup he has a better chance of getting it in, or the off chance they call a foul and send him to the line.

The way the game was called and that situation, not sure they would call a foul unless he was mugged.

Is that why last years finals was so great? It propel the NBA even higher in the international stage as the spurs demolished the heat.
The us market is not the only stage the NBA is now concerned with. They want more international exposure
Many drawn out games rather than a good evenly officiated series is also boring. Remember the 2005 finals spurs pistons? That was a defensive grind fest and had terrible ratings

Can you name a few? What calls went the case way in terms of fouls
The cave got more free throws because they drive the ball and play more inside game.
When you're team only jacks up 3s and brick jumpers , hard to get free throws, unless you do the chicken **** lean in that curry does.

How about green holding down James shoulders on that jump ball? Another blatant miss
I'm only calling it like I see it.

I didn't say the refs didn't miss calls, but the Cavs got more than their fare share of bs calls. There was a short stretch where Mozgov when straight to the line any time someone came near him.

The Cavs got 40 free throws compared to the W's 25. The refs were hardly in Golden State's back pocket. When it was clutch time, the refs missed the 2 calls you pointed out, but there was plenty of basketball being played before then where the refs were not afraid to blow the whistle on Green, Thompson, and Iggy. They were all in foul trouble towards the end.

Bad shooting lost the game for the W's. The refs were bad on both ends of the court.

Lebron shoves off every time he drives to the basket. No mention there?

chicken lean in? Lol Your Spurs do that ALL the time. Curry probably learned that from Ginobili. Hell, this whole team is basically modeled off the Spurs offense. If you want to blame somebody, go blame your own team.

QFT. And he does it on almost every drive to the hoop. Unless I'm mistaken he hasn't been called on that once so far this series.

Go Warriors!!!

I wish I had a gif of where Lebron does the sissy lean in while throwing an elbow on Iggy. Lebron to the line for 2 more free throws.

You can count the amount of times Curry does the lame *** lean in move on one hand and still have enough fingers left to tie your shoes.

Lebron shove off/hard shoulder to the chest happens about as often as Harden chicken flailing his arms on a jumper/drive. Which is over 90% of the time.

Just heard this from ABC 7 news. Klay Thompson has his left knee heavily wrapped in ice, and was seen limping around. Hopefully it's nothing serious and he'll be all right come game time.

Edit: A reporter saw Klay during shoot around and said he looks ok with no problems.
