Would love to see the Finals go past five.Can’t see it. Durant.

 

Wow, those are two really bad calls going for the Warriors and against the Cavs - Durant lost it on a clean strip and got the foul call and James was hacked on the strip and nothing was called.

 

Awful calls

 

Embarrassingly bad calls that leads one to wonder whether NBA refs ever really see what the hell is going on in a game and if they just guess on their calls?

 

Clutch game by LeBron. 3 point play and then draws the charge on Durant.

 

I actually think it was probably a block rather than a charge, but changing a call that is that close is ridiculous.

 

Even with replay the refs are incompetent as fuck.

 

That's bullshit dudes, lol

 

This is what I hate about LeBron. How do you a rifle a pass to a bum with 5 seconds left? Ugh, he has played an amazing game, but comon, take the last shot!

 

JR Brick is a fucking idiot

 

Unbelievable - JR Smith clearly didn't know that the score was tied and costs the Cavs the chance to win in regulation. What a moron.

 

Cleveland should be up 1-0 so naturally GSW will win

 

I blame ty lou for allowing it to happen.

Thats a fireable offense, just awful awareness by the head coach

 

Smith said "I thought we were ahead" Holy shit

 

Warriors are a truly hateable team, and I've never really felt that way all that much before. They are unbelievably lucky to win this game and they're obnoxious assholes about it?

 

JR Smith was embarrassing. Doesn't get worse than that. Completely ruin a great performance by Lebron. I have literally never seen that before. How could he not know the score? I knew the Warriors would dominate OT after that. It's unforgivable and there is no coming back from it.

 

Easily the most unlikeable team I’ve ever watched across any sport.

 

Yeah, I've always understood why people felt that way, but for whatever reason it really hit me tonight. That was about as big a display of poor sportsmanship as I can recall in a long time, and I'm really sorry they didn't lose the way they deserved to, so they could be crapping their pants with worry about losing what could be the biggest choke job in sports history.

Anyway, JR Smith has certainly cemented his place in the I'm-a-Moron-Athlete Hall of Fame.

 

Worst is watching Kevin Durant. He hopped on a 73-9 team that would have won without him. They are pathetic.

Refs and JR Brick ruined this game. Sadly the Cavs really needed this win, I hope it doesn't cost them in the end.

 

You can take JR out of the Knicks, but you can't take the Knicks out of JR.
