i don't know. i think they are who they are. jacking up 3s finesse team.

i think draymond green is the most disappointing player. he is the one who is supposed to be physical - a crazy dog. but he is getting manhandled by a bigger tristan thompson. say bye bye to big fat contract. dude is exposed.

I hope he gets the contract from an eastern conference team.

Instead of GS constantly chucking the first 3 they can, how about working it inside? Or taking it to the rack? Or like, I dunno, play physical?

This sums up the warriors issues. They take alot of bad threes at bad times

Stop bitching about the refs.

Everyone and their dog knows that in the playoffs the fouls are harder and the refs allow defenses to get away with more.

Instead of GS constantly chucking the first 3 they can, how about working it inside? Or taking it to the rack? Or like, I dunno, play physical?

For as highly touted as this warriors team has been, they would've been an 8th seed in the WC during the 90s for just being so wussy. The Jazz from
97-2002 would've punked them as Stockton roughed up Baby Blue Eyes and Malone destroyed their frontline.

The Cavs are playing like a team from the 90s (NY or Chi in particular) and the Warriors just can't handle it. Flopping and 3s don't win championships. Posting up and getting good looks inside does.

They don't need to play like the Cavs, they just have to push the pace in their favor. Continue to jack up shots and push the pace. They can't beat the Cavs in slow down grind it out basketball.

Yeah, and I for one detest this change in calling fouls to "playoff" basketball. I watch the NBA to see athletes move, and jump, and shoot nice shots and make them. I do not watch the NBA to watch wrestling. I do not watch the NBA to see one guy back his butt into the lane time after time. Call fouls the same the entire season, why give a playoff advantage to teams that are just better at pushing and pulling and grabbing.

Regular season Warriors are a very fun team to watch with lots of great action on offense. NBA has decided to allow them to be turned into a bunch of plodders in this series. Hate it.

Just focus on that one play bro and find a way to blame lebron for the refs not making the right call. Seems logical

Refs didn't decide these games but that really should have been a foul imo. I like physical basketball and Lebron is truly playing great basketball but he does get away with too much. I'm fine with them not blowing the whistle on that play if they would just call him on traveling and pushing off every once in a while. Lebron doesn't need to do that **** to dominate. Holding him to higher standard than he currently is held to by the refs isn't going to slow him down. It will only make him more enjoyable to watch.
 
I don't really have a dog in this fight. I just wanted and expected to see great finals. I didn't buy GS walking all over the Cavs, and I don't buy the Cavs finishing this off all that easy either. I still think this is going 7.

As far as the refs, I'm not blaming the refs for Golden State losing. They did that to themselves. And you could go back to tons of plays and ask why or why not that was a foul, but on that slide tackle by Lebron I just thought was way too blatant. That was just crazy.
 
I can understand refs missing all sorts of calls, like slapping on the arms, holding, grabbing, miss calling charges etc.., but how in the hell do you watch I guy run full speed into the back and legs of a player with the ball, take him down and then take the ball?

I don't see how you miss that or hold the whistle on that. That was straight up jungle ball at very critical point of the game where the focus is right there with guy who has the ball.

Smh...
 
Good for him for doing something good. Still think the guy is a tool.

One does not exclude the other.

...but according to the "experts" he just needs to find his "rhythm", get in the "flow" of things, find his "stroke", and just keep.....SHOOTING! No, I agree with you, fishonjazz! The shots the Warriors are taking, for the most part, are very LOW percentage shots that have NO BUSINESS going in....and generally, don't! And that applies to EVERYONE on that team! And by the way, everyone is complaining about the "no call" when Lebron plowed into Curry, but if Curry would have just PICKED up his dribble instead of trying that fancy "behind the back" stuff he does all the time, there would have been no turnover and the call would have been made immediately as a foul! When he went behind his back with the dribble, it became a "loose ball" and that's why no foul was called! At least that's the why I saw it! How about you guys?
