[The Thriller]

I can't believe GS is crying rig. Steph Curry has been the darling of the NBA for the entire season. If the NBA is rigged, they should write a thank you letter to Silver for helping them get to 73-9.

GS was lucky to keep green after he kicked Adams in the balls. If there's any team that should feel like the league rigged it against them it's OKC. Without green I can almost guarantee that OKC gets that win they were lacking...

Green would've been suspended for Game 4. The Warriors got destroyed in Game 4 anyways.

Cavs reach an insane level when they have number 2 and 23 at that level.

I see trade in Love's future. Would work for both sides.

I hated the 5th and 6th fouls on Curry. Definitely false calls that affected momentum. But debatable if they would affect the outcome. Not impossible, but a long shot.

And repeated junk kicks would only warrant a one game suspension?

Damn

I think Bogut is an underrated cog to GS' team. They don't have a pure rim protector without him and it's been much easier for Cleveland to get to the rim in his absence.

I wonder if Kerr will consider starting Ezeli like he did at the start of the year when Bogut was hurt; starting the death lineup hasn't been working. It's also probably not best to start Iggy if his back is really that bad.

No bogut allows tristan to do work much easier.

Curry's 5th foul was not a foul (he stripped the ball clean as whistle).

Other than currys entire arm hitting irving across the chest it was clean.

 

[fishonjazz]

he should be thankful if they don't suspend him for game 7 for throwing his mouthguard into the crowd.

That's no different than the holding and pushing that the Lebrons do to Curry and Thompson every time they cut and don't get called for.

Fo sho. Gotta allow physicallity. They were crap fouls for a finals game. Kid stole the ball give him a break. They are already down like a clown Charlie Brown.

Ok. Those could be called fouls too then.

Yep. And they would have benefited from it as recently as the last series when they were down 3-1.

My dad is a big warrior's fan. I like physical ball. And we both agreed that it was a foul. Reaching across the body making contact is the very definition of a reach in foul.

I don't understand the complaint here.

Perhaps curry shouldn't be reaching in 35 feet away from the basket when he already has 4 fouls?

Use your head instead of always going for the spectacular.

Which is another thing. The cavs are playing traditional championship ball. Good defense. Physical play. Grind it out.

The Warriors? Keep chucking away. Even if it kills their own momentum as Curry's 40 footer did in the second qtr.

If they catch fire in game 7? Great for them. They probably will. Klay and Steph are amazing shooters. But I think ya gotta love the way Cleveland is playing.

Another example of rigging to a certain degree. They wanted a GSW vs Cavs matchup so they do as many things possible to give the edge to those teams.

I can see a lot of bad calls, but I don't think of rigging games as a champion changer. If you are good enough to be champions, refs cannot stop you.

I don't see it that way. Ever since the NBA killed the Suns they've been criticized. I feel like the league has learned from that experience and now doesn't suspend players unless they absolutely have no. Had the Horry, Nash, Suns situation happened today, I don't think any of those Suns players would've been suspended. Nash and the Suns would've won a championship. The games would've been decided by the players not by suspensions.

Hitting the flagrant limit warrants a one game suspension. In the WCF, he probably should have hit that limit either before game 3 or game 4, but there's no argument for saying he should've been suspended for any of the games that Golden State won.

If Warriors waste the 73 win season, and choke while up 3-1 (just like OKC did on them) this overall ****ty playoffs will be legendary.

Oh and the crap that Dray will be getting will be hilarious.

All in all, either way, this off season will be better than this past season itself.

Still better than KD and Russ choking 48 minutes. College coach giving the obligatory white pale Singler time that he does not deserve and steal from Kanter. :/
