It just takes an insane amount of 3's to beat the Warriors. Seriously though, how does Tristan Thompson never get offensive fouls for endless illegal screens and over the back fouls? It truly baffles me.

He is the king of over the back, and it scares me. In related news, he was serviceable for the first time and they won.

If Cavs can somehow eek out game 5 Warriors will get pretty nervous.

No team was going to beat the Cavs tonight. Their shooting was too good, all other bullshit aside. I don't see them duplicating this.

I can't stop watching that. While both teams got calls, the early calls in the game sealed it. There's no way to come back from a 50pt half.

I'm not one to complain about the refereeing usually, but it looks... off in these Cleveland games, to say the least :D.

its interesting to compare raw +/- to the various adjusted +/- stats out there.

well but game 3 was pretty brutal for the cavs.it was like having 5 bases vs 3 then the oponent attacked your main and killed your production.

Gumiho won game 5 on 2 bases while his opponent had 4 bases and Tasteless had written Gumiho off. Cleveland needs to get Gumiho in there to come up with some strats.

Refereeing was off but the amount of 3's the Cavs drained was just insane. No one on the Warriors got hot, gg. I'm a little afraid the rest of the series will be anti-climactic, as the refereeing falls in line and the Cavs miss a few more shots, the Warriors will just kinda win one and that's that. Still I expect to see some more amazing individual performances.

I'm not gonna try to defend the numerous bizarre refereeing incidents that went down, but at least for this one there's some plausibility. The ref is watching and from his angle you might imagine that he thought it was a possibility Klay's swipe actually made contact with the ball. Like from his perspective, Klay swiped for the ball, his hand disappeared behind the ball so the ref can't actually see if contact is made, next thing you know Kyrie lost control. Ref signals that Klay touched it, so no call.

Then again, if refs were biased, then one way they'd act on it is by having all the calls with some uncertainty involved go the same way. So it doesn't really help to look at one call and say it's plausible.

The thing about saying, "Cleveland hit so many threes" (and granted I didn't see the first half), is that defense, fouls, and 3s are strongly related. There is a reason fewer people took lots of 3s in the 90s, and its because you could always be in the shooter's business for all 24 seconds with very little effort and low chance of getting called for a foul. If a team is getting cheap calls they are gonna hit more threes, and if you aren't getting calls you are going to "go cold".

Fuck these refs. Fuck the nba. I think cleveland is great, but I cant enjoy the game when the refs calls are this arbitrary.

How was draymond not given a flagrant for that mugging of TT?

Thompson came up after Livingston fouled him trying to draw the foul. Draymond was caught in the air. Not flagrant.


Had to wait to see it again, but the way he jumped in to TT and came down on his head was clearly a flagrant. But it was draymond, so they didn't call it.

the officiating has been fair but flawed. more flawed than usual due to the pace of the game and the quickness of the players ... and just so much going on at once. GS deserves to be up 3-1 and lo and behold.. its 3-1 for GS. the officials are not god and never have been. if we had 24 HD/4K cameras throughout an arena in 1980 i'll bet you the officiating would be either the same or worse.

It's really weird. The Warriors must be feeling annoyed right now, but they know they can't say shit because the refs are protecting Draymond, who looked like he could have gotten 3 or 4 techs that game. Pachulia is a chump. And holy cow, that should have been an automatic ejection on Lebron, getting up in the officials face like that.

He jumped straight up, expecting TT to keep momentum. When TT stopped, Draymond was caught in the air. After Livingston fouled him, TT stayed on the ground and then drew the foul by trying to shoot. Draymond couldn't stop his momentum even if he tried. It was not flagrant. No matter your leaning in the games, Draymond didn't intend to jump on his back. Anyone could have done the exact same move, and not be called.
