    but i dont know that especially seeing how he performed tonight in a game that if they won would of gave them the title. Does Green really make that much of a difference???

    GS would of won game 5 if they made their shots. I dont think Green matters as much as everyone paints it. He hasn't been consistent all playoffs.

    To me he was the MVP of this series up until Game 4. That was proven in Game 5. And if the Warriors win, I think they will, he should be given that honor. But probably wont.

    LeBron has played exceptionally well in this series but thats to be expected. Only difference to me the last 2 games though is that he started hitting his jump shots consistently which has taken his game to an even higher level.

    If he goes out in Game 7 and does the same thing while Green has another down game , the Cavs might pull it out.

    But usually home court in the NBA in a Game 7 is the biggest advantage in any sport. Cant even remember the last time a road team won a deciding game on the road.

    You sure did, because what you said had nothing to do with the points made.

    It makes it tough to watch. Tonight was brutal. By far the worst officiating of the 4 major sports. That is why it is my least favorite. I feel bad for Lebron too because he probably could have gotten the win on his own. Instead refs handed them the game and I can't take it serious. Awful.

    It was bad on both sides , but atleast 2 of Curry's fouls were borderline. And thats putting it kindly. No doubt the Cavs win last night no matter what , but thats not the whole story.

    When a handful of people point to the refs being bias , it can be basically ignored. When players, coaches, players wives, radio shows, tv shows etc are bringing it up as a topic, it sheds a brighter light on it being a problem.

    Doesnt make the league (which already has had a ref admit to controlling point spreads) look good, in my opinion.

    I dont want to say that NBA refs go into games knowing the type of game they are going to call and which team they are going to give the breaks to , but I know bias referring when I see it.

    The writing was on the wall for a 7 game series when they suspended Green , no way they were letting the series end before that came to be.

    His team was knocked by the Warriors, so he's biased here. We really wouldn't have a game 7 if Green didn't get suspended... this series hsoud have been over on Monday. The fact that this is going 7 is still shocking to me. Credit to LeBron.

    I don't see how the league can stop family members for giving their opinions. The players union would never let a player be punished for what a player's wife, child, or parent said

    Cavs won this game on their own but the NBA definitely put the fix in to make sure there was no doubt. NBA refs are easily the most corrupt in pro sports by an order of magnitude. The league is a complete joke

    I don't buy the rigging. If they do rig games to extend the series, they suck at it. I just feel that NBA refs do suck in general, but some of those calls you can't even tell with replay, yet these guys have to judge in real time. It ain't easy. Don't get me wrong, the NBA definitely has the worst officiating of the big 4 sports, and the game is inherently flawed as the rules stand today. It's kind of a joke, to be honest but bad calls usually seem to go both ways.

    Warriors won in 6 last year, Spurs in 5 the year before. Going back from there, you have Heat in 7, Heat in 5, Mavs in 6, Lakers in 7, Lakers in 5, Celtics in 6, Spurs in 4.

    It seems that finals rarely go 7 games. It's only happened 11 times since 1969, just under 25%.

    The thing that is so shocking about this year is the amount of blowouts on both sides. There was only one close game in the series so far and even that ended up being a double digit margin. Is it too much to ask to have a single close game that comes down to the wire? I've never seen a disparity this great, even as strong as home court usually is, it is absurd this year.

    if Lebron goes for 40+ and nearly posts a triple double, but the cavs lose in OT or a close one in the 4th, does anyone think he can take home the FMVP?

    I think it's probably the hardest to officiate out of all major sports. With all the bullshit being talked about there is not enough credit to give to the CAVS.

    They extended leads up to 20+ multiple times only to be pressured by the ensuing onslaught of scoring GSW would put up. Give the team(CAVS) credit

    They can't punish her, but they could ban her from an NBA event.

    But, at the end of the day, let them get blasted on social media since they want social media applause. That's the bigger punishment. People are outraged by the attack on the Curry kid, but the parents created that by putting their child in the public spotlight. That type of personal attack is par for the course when you want to be a celebrity, or make your child a celebrity.

    I hope so. LeBron winning in Curry's house would make me sick. The old heads knocking the Dubs will make me sick. The cavs winnign the title would make me sick. They better show up

    eehh, I remember many players kids being with them through the playoff interview. People hating on kids is just people being mean. That girl has done nothing to deserve any backlash from anyone.

    I'm rooting for Lebron and the Cavs to win, just because Cleveland deserves some love.
