2017 NBA Finals: Warriors vs. Cavs part 3

I'm actually a referee hater
I'm fine with this call

But you have to call this

The consistency is the problem.

I really appreciate it every time the Warriors go inside. If I wanted to watch teams endlessly shoot 3s I'd watch the Euro League.

(in all fairness, that's not always a fair stereotype... but the Warriors are just dull as hell to watch sometimes. 3 after 3 after 3 is only exciting to a certain point.)

[Brave Sir Rubin]

I don't think the ref had the angle on that Durant foul on the Lebron dunk. Otherwise, you're technically right...

But getting pissy at the refs all game is going to take all the enjoyment out of watching the game. I would suggest ignoring the refs as well as you can and focusing on the semi-beautiful basketball instead.

[Jackal]

Like I said; there are calls missed both ways. I agree that call on Durant should've been made.

Hope Kerr puts the death line up back in after a bit. Zaza's face pisses me off...looking like Sylvester Stallone about to shout out "Adriane, Aaaadrian"

[Andrew]

Zaza has to realise, when he's not injuring people's ankles, those fouls are useless.

Could always rewatch the games on YouTube.

Is this the Cavs run we've all been waiting for?

Some interesting stats so far:

Love 1/5 and not a factor.

J.R. going 6/7 and saving this team.

Irving the only Cavs starer with a postiive +/- (+6).

Durant 8/11. Going for that MVP.

Zaza's face pisses me off...looking like Sylvester Stallone about to shout out "Adriane, Aaaadrian"

Man, I love Zaza. Glad he's finally getting some real exposure. About one of the only "old school" type players left in the game. Too bad he can only get so many minutes on a such a small-ball heavy team.

That sounds painful. The only basketball worth rewatching is nostalgia 80s/90s/00s basketball.

Anything but useless...

The fouls provoke FEAR.

[Jackal]

Iggy in Finals MVP form.

[Jackal]

Deron Williams probably made a blood oath with Zaza from their Dallas days that he's going to help Zaza win a championship the best he can.

[Andrew]

Cavs not going quietly into the night. Warriors leaving the door open with all those missed threes, which so often blow games wide open.

both of these need to be no calls 100% of the time imo. actually no these need to be offensive fouls. the fucking guy is the one initiating the contact by jumping into the defender. this is the most bullshit play in basketball right now, way worse than flopping

[Jackal]

It's basically the new swipe through. I'm glad the league cut that shit out, Durant used to have a field day with that move.

Now Harden does the jump in to you bullshit. God damn OKC kids.

[Andrew]

It reminds me of the Paul Pierce pivot into the defender to get the shooting foul on a three. Hate the call, but as long as that's the rule, hats off to the heady play.

[shadowgrin]

Looks like Lue prefers double teaming the ball handler in PnR similar to how Phil Jackson did.

Dis 4th quarter gon b gud.

[zz21]

The reason I don't think LeBron is the greatest is because he really refuses to take over a game on offense. My relationship with LeBron is "WOW amazing play LeBron!" directly followed by "Why are you not giving the ball Kyrie every single possession."

i hated watching him do that shit.

...and it's back up to 10. Impossible to guard this stupid superteam.

Pretty much what my congratulatory post would be to the Warriors:

Congrats to them for winning it. Back to "fuck them" mentality.

Also, looking forward to 82 meaningless games and the playoffs to see these two fuckers square off again next year.

Yeah, but Lonzo Ball will be in the league next year. That's gonna change everything. Lakers, 98-0.

i hope they both some how manage to sign more top tier free agents so we can keep this going for another 5-6 years

[Jackal]

Lebron to Warriors confirmed. Taking the hardest road.

GM Lebron gonna trade Kevin Love's ass for AD and Cousins.

98-0? Is Lavar joining the league? Only he could achieve that.
