Was that the most rigged quarter ever?

I have mixed feelings on this one....I thought the officiating overall was atrocious...that team gets an F- for that one.

The first quarter was absolutely ridiculous with foul calls. I personally think it set the tempo for the game.

I mean they basically had the starting five on the Warriors in foul trouble within 10 minutes lol

The Draymod 1st technical was a bit wishy washy...and the second one was definitely BS...but then they claimed the first one wasn't on him but on Steve Kerr all to avoid for ejecting him on some BS??

Then that flagrant foul that favored Durant after his head was brushed with a forearm was definitely BS...i mean I want GSW to pull it out but come on....that was nonsense


then that back court foul that wasn't called was ridiculous lol

Then ZaZA obviously hits Shumpert in the nuts and he doesn't get ejected???

Overall though....Kyrie was outstanding, I don't care what anyone says....when Kyrie has the ball...I am FAR more scared of his scoring ability than I am with Lebrons...shyt I wish theyd pass it to Lebron than to kyrie because that dude is a one man wrecking crew in the paint..he's basically unstoppable....and overall the Cavs shot very well...so they deserved this one imo.

GSW looked as if they were throwing the game though...Curry didn't play nearly as aggressive around the perimeter as he had in the first 3 games...he kept passing the ball instead of creating his shot like he usually does. Iggy was being guarded with 5ft of space from the perimeter and he never took a shot...all in all they didn't play the same game that they usually do.it's like they were running on a quarter take or something.

Is that all you can contest from my post? :mjpls:

I ain't going to argue about every fukking 50-50 calls, others already done it for me. You can make a video of 50-50 calls for every fukking game for both teams - that's just how basketball is reffed. Uncalled moving screens alone could have filled a 10-minute highlight video for every game the Warriors play, so what's the fukking point?

You trying to play like the Warriors should somehow be getting 50 free throws even though they shot 40 threes, and that the Cavs don't even deserve 20 free throws on their own home court even though they have Lebron and Kyrie on the team. That's just silliness.




My point still remains, the refs decided the result/tone of the game in the first quarter. Whatever difference they tried equaling out over the rest of the game was futile. The officials were well aware that they had a direct hand in the Cavs building/keeping that lead; the biggest example of this was when they reactively called Draymond for a tech in the second half (on a play which wasn't even a foul - there was FAR worse contact let go all throughout the game). They then realized that ejecting Draymond would've made it all too obvious, so they bullshytted by rescinding his first tech from the first half - the one that he actually deserved.

Why do you devote so much of your fukking life watching film of games you think be rigged? :dahell:

This is like last year when you were bytching so fukking much about Curry's fouls. :heh:


You think the officials are keeping track of every player's foul counts and shyt and carefully rigging the games, but that would purposely tag Draymond with two techs and then forget about the first one. :dead:

Since you like putting up film so much, put up the film of the ref giving Kerr the first technical. He's looking at Kerr, not Draymond, when he makes the call. It's clear that he called it on Draymond, it's just that he doesn't say a name and the scorekeeper just assumed. Draymond said that he knew the tech was on Kerr, Kerr said that he knew that he was the one who deserved the tech, so.... :camby:

The game never got with single digits after the early deficit. If the game got close again I'm sure the whistles would've come out again.

Then why didn't they do that in Game 3? Love got hacked under the basket with 2:20 left, no call. Lebron lost the ball with 12 seconds left, no call. Ya'all act like they're desperate to extend the series but they didn't put the Cavs on the line a single time in the last 4+ minutes of a tight game when only 1-2 calls could have made the difference.

Cavs didn't commit any blatant fouls, push offs and moving picks prior to any of that?
Nope. They commit playoff fouls. Playoffs is more physical than the regular season. Are you going to compare a physical playoff foul to Draymond hitting dudes in the face twice and Zaza stepping on Lebron ankle and hitting shump in the nuts?

How many 3's did the Cavs make in the first qrt ? And how many did the warriors make ?

I know it was 13 made in the 1st half. Can't find by the quarter tho.

If you look at the box score. It's was a 5 point difference game from quarter 2 thru the 4th.

Meaning the 1st quarter was a HUGE outlier , for the obvious reason.

To be fair the warriors foul every game 10x more than what they get called for. Chickens came home to roost 1 quarter. Plus their opponent is the GOAT :gladbron:

It did in the begining of the fourth ty lue called a timeout cavs scored after then a foul call against golden state
It was over after that

But hat fourth quarter sequence where cavs got four shots after bad calls against the warriors was wild

The refs changed the gameplan and the warriors defensive flow.

How can you defend when every thing was being called against them. They would rather pull back than have them get the call and foul out.

It was evident in game 3 the refs wanted them to have that game too. Game 4 showed the refs had to do a better job early to get them dudes in foul trouble.

Curry and Thompson did shyt the bed while cavs 3 point shooting was other worldly( which won't happen again).
