It's just dumb how people will try to mark this with an asterisks because Green got suspended for a game, when they have the unanimous MVP on the court and two additional opportunities to win the series. So sick of this whiney Warriors team. They had Green tonight and LeBron basically replicated his game 5 with him and Iggy defending hi. 41 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds on 16/27 shooting with 4 blocks. Some of yall need to learn to fucking appreciate some greatness for once and stop being haters. First guy to go for back to back 40 point games since Shaq did it 16 years ago.
When's the last time an MVP was ejected or fouled out in an NBA Finals game? Phantom fouls all over the place tonight. Anyone who doesnt think the fix was in to get this to 7 games is fooling themselves. Other sports use their refs to keep things close at times , but only the NBA makes it that obvious.
I mean the guy fired his little pussy mouth piece into the crowd at a fan. I'm not sure what him being an MVP has to do with it. Tonight was a rough game officiating wise but for the most part they've let these guys play. They've also refused to call the thousands of illegal picks set on both sides. I like when they let the players play physical for once in the long season. It's funny though I'm sure guys from the 80s like Bill Laimbeer is laughing at what a foul and a technical/flagrant foul is nowadays. I never saw him or anyone in the 80s play but from what I saw from the Bad Boys 30 for 30 documentary Laimbeer used to destroy guys in the lane.
The refs have allowed a lot of physical play, but you can almost guarantee they won't in game 7. Cavs will be in foul trouble all game and get blown out.
Because calls went against him tonight that wouldn't have gone against past MVP's. And those calls that went against him tonight , wont go against him in Game 7. There's zero consistency in today's game. How else does a weak 1 seed take the team with the best record in NBA history to a Game 7 without an insane amount of help from the league brass and the zebras.
Was Mrs. Curry complaining when Draymond Green did NOT get put out of Game 4 of the WCF? Just saying. I was a bit ambivalent in whether to root for history (the Warriors' all time win record season) vs. sentiment (Cleveland finally winning) but all the Warriors' yapping is putting me firmly on the side of the Cavs for Game 7.
Cavs have the best player in the league. All the talk of rigged when Green was suspended. Now hes back and its was as if he wasn't on the court. James still scored 41 points!
Yeah he played great and Green played terrible. Still doesnt change the fact that if Green played Game 5 everyone here would be talking about who they want their team to draft. NBA didnt want that. They wanted ratings tonight and ratings on Sunday , and thats what they got.
We'll see. I've grown up watching this era of 'soft' basketball. I love when they let the guys okay though especially when they let them bang around trying to get rebounds or when backing guys down. Nothings more frustrating than ticky tack fouls when two good low post players are going at it.
Funny thing is the Warriors were getting all salty about how the media kept pointing out the Cavs went six games last year when Lebron didn't have his team, now they're whining about excuses when they've gotten blown out SEVERAL times in the playoffs.
