    they are hot shooters at home - but the corrupt refs are letting the warriors laugh and foul all they want.

    and, the refs play stupid pro wrastlin refs by encouraging the rough play by looking the other way.

    even the warriors laugh at what they get away with at home. Moving picks, hammering when the Cavs

    drive to the basket - no wonder they played defense against threes by the Cavs, they can get away with

    hammering if the Cavs drive to the basket.

    Moving picks, holding on the picks, offensive line play, forearms to the face, locking arms, and flopping.

    Even these jackass refs finally stopped calling the warrior's flopping - I guess they didn't want to be COMPLETELY

    on the take. And, the warriors are a good shooting team. But that green, thompson curry, etc... didn't foul out by the end

    of the third period....is a disgrace to "pro" basketball..

    NOTE: the warriors feet are moving like crazy, and they get a charging foul on the Cavs.

    Last night - Love clearly had both feet set... and they called the foul on Love.

    You can't win. Maybe with Durant the warriors are the better team, but if they win the championship - it's

    tainted for all the theatrics and biased so-called "referring".

    Fake pro basketball. My guess is, at least one of those refs was the same, and was dishonest for the warriors.

    Too many big famous names in the stands, I suppose. The fix was in again.

    Now, back in Cleveland, I hope they have some real refs that actually referee the calls consistently and fairly.

    Then, the Cavs could win two and even up the series...or not. But at least they would have a chance. The

    worst reffing I've ever seen makes the Cavs not have a chance, no matter what they do.

    We'll see. But pro basketball was a farce a long time ago. Jordan could take five steps to the basket - no call.

    If he DID miss a shot, he got foul shots with nobody close to touching him.

    The worst was when rick mahorn nearly forearmed the Cav's Mark Price to the floor.

    I guess the current dirty commish wants his league to go back to the dirty hockey days for more money...

    he must be envious of the money and crowds that pro football and pro wrastlin get...

    Interesting - I couldn't find a video of the knockout elbow by mahorn on Price anywhere ...

    just found this though, right after the Cavs lost dirtyball game two:

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2017/06/04/lebron-james-pushed-out-way-brawl-after-cavs-game-2-loss/102506088/

    no wonder the warriors keep winning at home.

    Maybe I have it wrong- maybe the refs are terrified if they don't call the game

    to make the warriors win...

    I know this isn't what you guys want to hear but the talent level isn't close between these two teams from top to bottom

    Still wondering 3 years later if hoorta still believes JR Smith is as good a shooter as Steph Curry?

    I think it's close at the top, more disparity between bench and role players.

    And plenty of disparity between coaching staffs, I'd say.

    I agree with the players and that makes it difficult on Lue. For goodness sake he is having to play Deron Williams significant minutes.

    Both teams play with god awful refs. When you get to this this point it's not coaching. We just don't have the the bad boys mantality to own the paint both ways. No way we can go 8 man deep with GS..Durant just forced more depth to a great bench already. It's Your move Griffin

    yeah, but one team was getting all the calls/most of the calls their way, regardless of them being warranted...

    and the other team kept wondering "WTF" ?

    guess which is which.

    In the act of shooting is not "After" the ball leaves the players hands. Now they are all QB's

    Yeah I'm a little sick of the GS blah, blah, blah but KD has been as advertised.

    But it's do or die tonight in the highest rated NBA Finals since MJ's last championship.

    GO CAVS!

    Warriors in the class of the old Celtics, Lakers, Bulls?

    Hey dynasties do occasionally happen, star players want to be there it also is good for the game....if they don't go on too long.

    Be thankful for LBJ and the one slump buster he grabbed for Cleveland!

    If I were a betting man (which I am) I'd pick GS but not sure about 7 points in Game 1.

    Now if I were just a fan I'd go CLEVELAND....and hope for a few minor miracles in the series.

    The Cavs are a dynasty-caliber team, unfortunately they happened to face one of the greatest teams of all time 3 years in a row. Definitely grateful for the one, lots of fun and excitement for the city.

    Nobody will compete with the warriors next year either, if they stay healthy.

    Anyway, go Tribe!
