Klay leaps forward to create contact and gets the foul that hasn’t been called all playoffs

I got news for you GS is gonna win even if Cleveland were to outplay GS in every facet of the game GS will still win, as a matter of fact GS has already won the title, its been signed sealed and delivered.
 
I don't see how anyone can watch this game and not see the refs letting fouls go on both ends. Draymond was just hacked, for instance.
 
Watching Cavs against GS is like watching this past years Uconn team vs Nova (aside from Lebron), Cavs cut it to 8 or 6 then boom GS hits a couple 3's and your back down double digits again bringing you back 6 feet under again.

He got the call though...

Lol. I'm watching it on mute while grading finals and must have missed they called a foul.

That's just one example, though. The Cavs can't keep up with the Warriors off the ball so they just grab and hold the entire time. And the Warriors want to avoid the Steph-LeBron matchup so they're fouling like MoFos. Refs just letting them play.

It’s just a simple foul, they happen all the time. I mean David West just grabbed Clarkson in the open court which should be called an intentional foul.

Not a good analogy. Nova looked like a pro team compared to us this year, they could have called any number they wanted.

Ok maybe my analogy is a little off but you knew what I meant how do you think Cleveland would do against this team minus Lebron.

Obviously not well but his teammates aren't the awful slop so many people want to make them out to be. Kevin Love is a borderline Hall of famer.
 
I don't get how anybody can watch this and root for the Warriors. I've never seen a team auto pilot their way to a championship like this.

The officiating has been horrific and I usually defend NBA officiating. How you miss that call on the Love pass where Curry and Thompson clobber him is beyond me.

Kevin Love will almost certainly make the HOF.

And he's had great teammates in the past. I think if Kyrie were on this team they might win this series, since 1-3 they'd be equal to or better than the Warriors, and the Warriors don't have the depth they used to.

Separate note here:

The idea that refs are biased is the lamest thing in sports. Sometimes they suck, sometimes they miss calls. They obviously missed that full court pass. But I find it so boring to see sports through such a lens. Especially since the NBA wants this series to go 7 if it can--why would they favor the Warriors at this stage?

Almost every 50/50 call has gone their way

Whatever refs or not its not gonna matter and the Cavs are actually playing pretty well, looks like the Cavs will win their 2nd participation trophy of the series.
 
LeBron just grabbed Bell's arm, threw him to the ground, and got a foul called against him. Stop it with the refs. They suck, both ways.

Thompson is the guy that really impresses me for Cleveland. George Hill has played well, too.

The point is they aren't all these bad players which is the narrative a lot of people are pushing. Love might be in the HOF some day, George Hill has been a good starter on playoff teams for years, Thompson is a great offensive rebounder, Korver has been one of the best 3 point shooters in the league for years.
 
I can't tell if the Cavs are playing well or GS just isn't as dominating this year it won't matter as Cleveland has no shot as it is next year is gonna be very interesting to see while GS is going for the 3 peat, teams in a 3 peat year are never dominating and have to get lucky while the whole league is loading up on them.

They just look bad against GS is what it is GS has better ball movement and is better coached too, not to mention 4 HOF and they are playing without Iguodala. This is also a Cavs team without Kyrie and Jefferson was a big loss for the Cavs.

You can clearly see Bell holding him before that, he was playing like an offensive lineman.
Expand ...
He had his hand on him. He didn't "hold" him.

Regardless, I'm a Celtics fan, so I don't have a dog in this fight. But I'm just sick of everyone complaining about the Warriors because they hate the Warriors and can't see the game for what it is.

Warriors aren't nearly as good as in the past. Biggest factors- the bench is so much weaker than when they used to trot out a second 5 of Iguadola, Lee, Livingston, Barbosa, and Mo Buckets. And Draymond used to be a real option scoring wise (almost a weapon) now they can leave him open. Often there are 2 guys on the floor now for the Warriors who aren't offensive options.

Also now that they have KD the regular season doesn’t matter to them, or matters very little.
