GS and the referee bias cannot be ignored anymore

[tofuspeedstar]

The Draymond Green foul during the jump-ball was the most egregious. The refs know he has a propensity to hold players down during jump-balls and yet they still let him get away with a blatant hold.

Kenny Smith admitted he did the same shyt lol.

@houston911 @Malta what do yall think about the officiating so far in this series?

 

[Fade Runner 2049]

For every non call where lebron gets fouled, there's a non call for when lebron travels 4 steps

 

[Hoganese]

In your own words, why do you believe that the majority are focusing on what they think are calls/non-calls that go against the Cavs?

Those two blatantly missed calls I referenced there are probably the main reason. The majority of people on here seem to rooting for the Cavs so it made it seem extra egregious when those calls were missed because of how many posters took part in the outcry. GS is kind of developing a reputation for being a "crafty", "smart", "gamemanship" type of team on defense too. People might take offense that to that for whatever reason.

Plus Draymond and Bogut seem like a$$holes to play against.

They missed 2 blatant fouls where iggy hacked lebron late. They also called some ticky tack sh*t where lebron is initiating all the contact.

Lebron is getting away with travels in the post and offensive fouls all game long though

They call like 10 loose ball fouls against the warriors, cavs are getting calls.

Golden state has gotten away with some questionable screens

@Gil Scott-Heroin

Lets talk about delladova fouling curry all game long though

Hes riding him, pause

Using his forearm to not lose him off the dribble

He cant stay in front of curry without touching him

They dont wanna talk about that though

LeBron is the only superstar I've ever seen not get calls. Gotdam. I ain't a big Bron fan but this shyt is ridiculous.

Dwayne Wade gets foul calls when dudes are a foot away from him SMH.

It was hack a Lebron late in the game and the refs just acted like WWE refs when bad guys cheat.

You do realize that LeBron actually gets away with more non calls than ANYONE in the league right? From his flops that aren't called to not getting Tech's for showing up the ref. Have you been watching in just this series alone how he's been just straight up pushing off while dribbling with his off hand, lowering his shoulder creating contact, backing down aggressively [like Shaq use to and would get offensive fouls] and none of that is called. Y'all need to stop embellishing the truth when outside of Biker Beard he gets the benefit of the doubt more than anyone else.

I've seen LeBron just straight up push cats out of the way to get to the ball and nothing was called. If the actually called what they were suppose to against him he'd average 7 TO's a game from travels alone. Hell he took a trip to Paris before the hack late in that game and nothing was called. Earlier in that game he was clearing the fukk off of Clay and them with his off arm to get space and nothing was called. I understand y'all stan dude but he gets the calls he wants to the point that he when usual no calls don't go his way to sway the opinion.


is the only superstar that truly never got the benefit of calls and actually had several go against him because he was simply bigger and stronger that other players.

Ronnie nunn disagrees with you..

Ronnie nunn disagrees with you..

So Ronnie talks about Iggy hacking and how the refs shouldn't be looking at Bron...but he didn't even acknowledge Bron travelling prior to that foul right? Right!

What the fukk is this supposed to mean?

The Warriors are a jumpshooting team, Steph took 15 threes while LBJ drove to the rim and created contact how many times? That alone tells you everything you know about a free throw discrepancy.

My nikka LeBron got wacked on the arm by Iggy right in front of the ref no call, LeBron's jersey was tugged from on a jumpball no call, Draymond Green set an extremely blatant moving screen in semi transition to set up Steph for the gametying lay-up.

LeBron is being handchecked and grabbed down the floor and in the post every single time he drives. That Draymond block was clean AF, great defensive play I'll give him that.

Bogut has a rep for dirty screens

And the Cavs wasn't fouling? Delly was grabbing the fukk out of Curry's jersey most of the time. Tristen was pushing off on reb's too and it wasn't called. Bron was playing windshield wiper when he was trying to drive to the rim and wasn't getting called even though it gave him a clear advantage. The Cav's got the game called how they wanted it to and the result was low scoring, defensive type of game. Complaining about missed fouls late against them but not acknowledging the impact of them early for them is just a way to create a narrative.

.

Ah they both did, he even said refs should have the fortitude to make those calls.regardless of how late it is in the game. Video was more to the point how bron gets the shaq treatment..i hope you continued from that point thru to the end.

 

[Goatpoacher]

Golden state has gotten away with some questionable screens

Every team is getting away with illegal screens these days.

And Lebron is getting away with pushing off pretty frequently too.

Delly wasn't grabbing Curry's jerseys when was this? I saw Steph chuck up 15 threes, and see doubles on every pick and roll. I did see Draymond clearly grab on LeBron's jersey and an errant jumpball thrown by the referees giving Golden State possession.

Tristan isn't pushing that man can't be held down and has been a problem these entire playoffs, teams can't box him out and are getting called for loose ball fouls. LeBron is being hand and forearm checked down the floor and in the post there was one instance where Iggy planted his hands firmly by LeBron's dikk.

The Warriors are notorious for setting illegal screens, Bogut and Green have a rep for this. The gametying Steph lay-up was a blatant moving screen by Draymond in semi-transition. There was bad calls on both ends and the game definitely isn't rigged just poorly officiated, how anyone can think that game was officiated in the Cavs favor watching how the game unfolded is beyond me though.

@houston911 @Malta what do yall think about the officiating so far in this series?

Blown calls on both sides of the ball, I haven't noticed any bias either way. I'm not rooting for either team so I guess that is part of the reason why.

Careful now, you don't want @GoddamnyamanProf comparing you to a moonlight racist because you're telling both sides of the story.

My final comment on the matter: You acknowledge the most blatant calls against Cavs because a) to deny them would be pointless, they're so obvious they're not up for debate and b) it allows you to build this farcical "both sides were bad" argument to try to shift the narrative from what actually happened. You're like a casual racist that acknowledges terrible transgressions against people of color, as long as you get to add the caviat of "white people get discriminated against too" so you can shift the narrative to a more workable and generic "everyone has to deal with tough times" refrain and away from the actual reality of the situation.
