[2017 NBA Finals] Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

LOL. Check out Lebron's friend and the CEO of Majestic Steel, who got kicked out of the game. He inherited the CEO position from Daddy

He's going to president of the USA soon thanks to Lebron

 

steph going off in game 5

 

It's so weird watching Curry against the Cavs. Last season he had an injury excuse, but right now there is none.

 

Cavs in 7

Todd Leebow and Lebron for VP and President of USA

 

so anyone put money on Cavs last year after 3 to 1? GOING TO BE RICH AGAIN BETTING CAVS.

CAVS in 7

Superteam = CAVS

 

Kevin Durant with 16 free throws
Media: KD is so fun to watch!

 

Not gonna happen. It took a historic 3 ball performance for the CAV to win a game. They can not shoot 60% a second time.

 

If this game was close despite the historic night, then people could say that that type of performance is needed to beat the Warriors, but it was only needed to BLOW them out.

 

Leebow

"Leebow is apparently boys with LeBron James, as well as other members of the Cavs, and another report suggests he once tried to hit Tristan Thompson in the face and called him the N-word after he saw the Cavs big man feeding Sierra Smebakken grapes at 2 am."

Who is this guy?

 

I'm putting all my money on the Cavs....i'm gonna be rich!!

 

Wow

 

Draymond Green says he knew he wasn't called for a first-half T b/c Mike Callahan told another official it was on Kerr, not him.

I guess Draymond confirmed what the refs did and that the first tech was on Kerr

 

Green sitting on the bench grinning with the water bottle gave me some serious Artest laying down on the scorer's table at the Palace vibes.

Cleveland fans are going to be all over him if he comes back for game six.

 

I can't believe the leeway Draymond gets. If Dwight Howard did what Green was doing, he would have been ejected in the first half lol. I can't believe the refs literally cancelled a technical on Green and reassigned it so as no to eject him. I've never seen anything like that lmao. Both of Draymond's technicals were warranted clearly lol, it's an automatic tech when you make that gesture to a ref. And how did Zaza not get a technical or anything for a swipe to the balls? Harden got suspended for slightly raising his leg in the vicinity of a groin. This was one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen.

Anyway, the actual gameplay was awesome. Glad the Cavs got one at least and that it wasn't a boring ass sweep. Warriors will win by 25+ Monday.

 

Credit to Warriors for fighting till the end. They actually cut it to 11 partway through the Q4. If Cavs 3ptr cooled off, I think Warriors could have come back.

But the game was pretty much decided in Q1. Not so much the 16 pt lead but the fouls. Too many Warriors picked up 2 fouls too early which had too many obvious add on effects (defend more timidly, allows Cavs to set defense after FT, rest during FT, disrupt game flow, etc.)

But I do think Warriors should have adjusted by driving more and try to pick up fouls on their end. If the refs are calling it tight, then see if you can take advantage. Worse case, you make the ref bias seem even more blatant if you're not getting the same calls.

 

The first tech I can somewhat understand. But the second tech was ridiculous. It was an average reaction that all players make. Players would be ejected less and right if they called those kinds of techs.

My own personal opinion is that you don't call techs unless it is egregious. Universally almost everyone thought that second tech on Green was completely ridiculous.

 

I agree that players shouldn't get techs for hand motions like that, but it happens all the time. Harden got a tech for a hand motion like that that I remember off the top of my head.
