the coli.comso Steph, Klay & the gang all lost the game on purpose...alright Im done here, no point in discussing this any further
The NBA Got What They Wanted
- Thread starter Big Boss
- Start date
this might surpass the 35.9M Game 6 Bulls/Jazz got
Once GSW start eating into the lead, phantom foul calls started happening. Teams getting into the bonus with 10 minutes remaining. Early and incredulous fouls affect how teams play defense. T Tompson do nothing but moving picks. He holds and pull defenders out of the way. Called one moving pick the entire series on him. He pushes off for rebounds. You all cook though. However, Warriors have to make those shots and wtf is wrong with Barnes. They're daring him to shoot now.

Warriors shot more fts than the cavs in gm 5 yet lost by 15
Last night they shot 3 less fts than the cavs and lost by 15
I won't act like the nba doesn't rig games but this has not been the case this series. Warriors have been getting outplayed these last two games, plain and simple

The refs definitely took over that game early. Not saying they were looking to give one team an advantage per se, but they were handing out fouls left and right so that they could control the flow. And control the flow they did. I imagine they will swallow their whistles for the final game though.
Even with that said, there have been way too many blowouts this series for my liking. I can't call it all time great. I believe the Cavs have figured something out, but what if GS wins game 7? What have we even learned?

Numbers lie very much. Fouls can effect the games by more than freethrows. The early foul trouble from out the gate thru the rest of the game thru the rest of the game took the aggression away from golden state. Still a great performance by lebron but the refs hand prints were all over this game.

Outside of the first quarter warriors won the rest of the game. The high pick traps on kyrie was a HUGE adjustment for the second half. Hes given them the momentum the last few games. If they can make someone beat them they will win

you are right but even then both teams had the same # of fouls last night whereas in game 5 cleveland had more than GS
there were undoubtedly questionable calls on both sides, however. With that said I believe the NBA rigs games to keep them close more than they do to get a certain team to win.

Its more situational fouls than number of fouls. That blocking call on curry when bron ran thru him was Huge in that situation curry was heating up but that took him out the game killed momentum. That clean strip on kyrie changed the game woulda been a 6 point game with momentum and time good left, ended up a point swing 4 cavs killed momentum. That over the back on draymon over Jones not even gonna speck on that, just a terrible call.
I agree that trapping Kyrie definitely made an impact. The Warriors would have to do that at a time when the game is close though as to put pressure on LeBron. I want to see how he performs with all things square bc I believe he knows that his trigger is when everybody shyts on him. What if everyone respects him?
Steph and friends out there sleep walking til game 7
