The refs easily cost the Cavs 10 pts in this game. From the overturned foul call to the bad calls made on clean strips.
I usually agree with you but I think you are overreacting here. Overturn foul call was correct decision as Lebron was still moving. While we can argue that the rule to review it was favouring GSW it is mute point, the foul should have gone against Lebron on the floor anyway. While I agree that there was 3 bad calls vs Cavs ( Loney strip, Lebron foul on Durant and I think Green fouled somebody which was not called as well) there was 2 bad calls vs GSW ( Lebron fouled Loney on his airball layup attempt and Love clearly smacked Curry on the head during 3 pt play, thus should be a flagrant call). So at most refs cost Cavs 2 pts. And I am not even counting all Lebron push offs during his drives to the basket, guy is ridiculously good using off hand to create space and never gets called for it. You can make the case that if all calls where made perfectly correct Cavs would have won the game, but had Hill made that free throw nobody would be talking refs now. So Cavs only have themselves to blame... Epic performance by Lebron, GSW playing like crap more than 50% of the game, they had ball with 4 seconds left and game tied and yet they lost.
