Lebron is clearly invading a shooters space before he even got a shot up. Kyrie got that call twice in this game
I don't understand this board sometimes.
That didn't look like a foul at all, on any level, and certainly not in the playoffs where just about the entire globe agrees that players are given more leeway.
When many of us Spurs fans were angry (most still are) about Zaza's play on Leonard, there were posts that those "step into shooter" plays happened all the time and I didn't see any Warriors supporter excoriating Zaza for that play.
When I asked if these pushes/moving screens were normal, I was told that stuff happens all the time.
When Draymond elbowed Iman Shumpert, the responses were "the refs are horrible"...not "that was a flagrant/violent hit"
So WTF?
To me all this shyt just looks like partisan politics...so to speak.
The way I saw the game was that it was a chippy, physical game. I didn't think it was rigged, but there were calls I thought were bad.
1 - the flagrant on Kevin Love's hit to Durant's head was bullshyt.
2 - the "2nd" technical on Draymond was bullshyt
I've posted a number of times recently (at the expense of being called a Lebron stan) that the Cavs supporting cast needed to step up and that was the difference in the series.
Well, Kevin Love finally had a good shooting night.
JR Smith finally had a good shooting night.
Tristan Thompson finally had a good rebounding night.
And the Cavs won.
With respect to the Warriors, the early foul trouble did hurt them. But foul troubles hurt every team. I hardly think there were rigged calls. You get into foul trouble, you pay the price.
Durant balled out like he has in every game of the series.
Klay Thompson had a bit of a rough night defensively.
Curry got cold from 3.
They still scored 116.
To me the Cavs deserve credit for asserting a physical advantage and shooting well. They won the game. Just fukking give them credit for it.
Golden State is still the better team and if I were betting I'd say they get the W on Monday night.
But this habit that certain posters have on here of shoving their heads in the sand at any of their team's transgressions and pointing out those of the other teams is just some bytchmade stan shyt.
. That's great fukkin defense! Shut yo hoe ass up!
