I think the reffing on this game is pretty good. It's just tight, which I actually prefer since it sucks seeing players hurt due to loose/scrappy games.


I actually agree the reffing is good tonight. I don't even think it's tight. Let's be honest, these two teams are playing incredibly physical. The refs could blow their whistle on every single trip down the court and not be wrong. They're not calling it tight, the teams are just committing a lot of fouls. There's even a lot of fouls that they aren't calling, especially on Curry. So if refs actually call all the fouls people are going to bitch about the refs ruining the games and putting players in foul trouble. If they don't call all the fouls then people are going to bitch about all the missed calls. Conclusion? People are going to bitch either way so you may as well just ignore their bitching. Refs are doing a great job at being consistent and setting a tone for the game that they are not going to allow the over physicality and that they aren't afraid to put people in foul trouble.

They only have 11 attempts, take away 1 of the 6 makes and it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect, not exactly a lot of room for variance on so few shots(11 threes in a half is so few, what an era of ball we're living in).

Except KD, wouldn't want to send him to the bench with 3 on an obvious and 1.

That was caused by the problem of refs being slower than players and (again) not enough of them. Transition plays at the basket are always guesses by the refs. Most of the NBA refs would not pass the physical requirements that FIFA puts on refs, just as an example.

'Highlight' of Curry getting fouled shows sickest illegal screen ever setting up his drive.

Edit: That play where people jump over TT's head when he pumps under the basket can't just be a common foul. Dude is going to get seriously hurt which is the entire purpose of Flagrants to begin with.

Clarifying edit: I don't necessarily want the Warriors to get slapped with F's left and right I want them to stop doing it which they would the second one of them got one.

hes undercutting guys under the basket. That is dangerous as well.
How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal and you have to be willing to work for it. Jim Valvano

Any time he gets the ball down low, he does the same move. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. They have to contest the shot, it's what you do.

Then jump straight up, they jump over him every single time.

As other people have said, TT is moving under the jumpers, he's just as lucky that he's not being called for offensive fouls. Also, he does that on like half of his rebounds and never gets called.

I mean, based on what they just called on Livingston, no one should be eligible to play in this game anymore besides McGee.

Wow Cavs D just blew the game on those 2 possessions.

Awful.

That wasn't a "botched switch" Stan. JR could never have defended Durant there, Lebron needs to take the inside track on both those possessions.

Step 1: Fire Adam Silver

Step 2: Crush the players union.

Step 3: Make the NBA about "the logo"

Step 4: Be the new NFL

Step 5: Profit.

The Lebron Cultists will pretend that his statline is real. The reality is he had 3 assists and 10+ points at the end that were meaningless.

Eh, no one else was hitting shots. The law of averages finally caught up to Kyrie.

congratz to the Golden State Warriors. This series showed how woefully out of contention teams like Toronto and Boston are.

the east was just plain bad this year.
