    Well guess the league still not ready to let a series just play out. Even if you don’t buy conspiracies there’s too much to Foster going back to Donaghy and his bad relationship with CP3 that you cannot deny this is an odd decision…

    Not just this series. Why watch the NBA at all if you believe that the refs determine who wins?

    Cool. I'm glad you are straight about being a Harden only fan.

    My suggestion is that you can stop watching now. No need to wait for his retirement because the refs aren't going to let him win. ;)

    i love seeing adam "silverslipper" try to create new ways to limit harden. Hardens influence among the young generation is felt among all the aau and youth camps. Contrast that with steph curry overcharging his youth camps so that urban kids cant afford to attend. The NBA wants the youth to idolize steph curry, when most if not all idolize harden

    So adam thinks that by limiting harden, it will deter younger kids from copying his style, seeing how it doesnt work in the nba. Zach Lowe and Tim Macmahon are already begging luka to change his style lol

    They are like fine you wont listen, then we have to take drastic measures

    It is like he is only a fan of Donald Trump. His nut licking is only reserved for Trump, Harden, and Djokocic. Hopefully, he disappears completely from this board with the Athletes retire and Donald Trump passes away or is in jail (Trump is 76 and eats like he is 16).

    If hes doing game 6 then he wont do a potential game 7. Suns should look at that as positive. Put the non sense out of your head and take care of business tonight and odds will be in your favor in game 7.

    I like how Scott Foster is such a big deal now, but when it was the Rockets getting screwed, it was crickets

    Scott Foster was the crew chief for game 7 against GS, and that was 1 of the most blatant rig jobs ever…nobody talks about what happened that game

    the potential of what Scott Foster might do tonight is a big topic of conversation, but what he actually did in game 7 never was

    Common sense is that there's more to these referees than we know, but to suggest Silver is somehow having these meetings, dictating who he wants to win, who to win the lottery, like he's Dr. Evil is funny AF to me. The guys who did Game of Zones should make a Dr. Evil special about Silver where Foster is that crazy german lady, Tony Brothers #2 and Silver's son that other shady referee, can't think of his name right now, white dude...Austin Powers can just be a nerdy fan with a sieve on his head (Spaghetti monster believer) :)

    Regardless who the refs are i won't be surprise at all if the Suns wins tonight's game and force a game 7.

    Giannis is going to get his 30 and 10 or close to it, but I'm not confident Middleton, Jrue and Connaugton repeat anything close to their production in game 5.

    Edit to add - CP3 is getting a lot of undeserved blame IMO. Yes, he isn't performing like the best player or even the 3rd best player in the series thus far. But he's putting up 21 points 8.8 assists 3.6 TOs per game on 62% TS. That's pretty damn good for any player let alone a 36 year old.

    Would a game 7 even matter. I just googled the tv ratings for this years finals and it’s ugly. People just aren’t interested


    https://www.google.com/amp/s/tribun...-final-beats-nba-finals-in-viewership-in-usa/


    Saturday’s Bucks-Suns NBA Finals Game 5 averaged a 4.8 rating and 9.62 million viewers on ABC, flat in ratings and up a modest 7% viewership from Heat-Lakers last October, a potential title-clincher and the most-watched game in the “bubble” (4.8, 8.96M), and down a sharp 55% and 48% respectively from Warriors-Raptors in June 2019, another potential clincher in which Kevin Durant returned from injury only to tear his Achilles (10.6, 18.60M).

    Outside of the “bubble” last year, it was the least-watched Game 5 of the Finals since Spurs-Nets in ’03 (9.31M) — and the first Game 5 since Lakers-Magic in ’09 to decline from the preceding Game 4.
