2018 NBA Finals

Lebron is tackled in the open floor, no call.

I've said it before. This is the only time in Lebron's life where he's playing a team that might get more help from the refs than he does. The refs are so confused as to what they should be calling that they've basically swallowed their whistles. I have a feeling this one is going to end up getting chippy again.

 

[Van Everyman]

Sarcasm?

Fair enough.

I should say: I’m really rooting for Lebron in this series and I’m not sure why. It may be because Thompson (and Kerr I guess) is the only guy on this GS team I don’t think is a front-running asshole.

Steph had clearly established a guarding position, feet firmly planted.

Cleveland better be careful here.

 

[Ale Xander]

Daddy must be shaking his head

 

[johnmd20]

I love watching Durant bear hug Nance and complain about the whistle because it was ridiculously late.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Lebron learned that one from DWade.

 

[Ale Xander]

Why drive with still 10 seconds?

 

[johnmd20]

David West. LOL

 

[snowmanny]

Foul on Bell, no call
Foul on Bell, no call
Foul on James, Foul called on Bell

 

[Kliq]

That is some crappy refereeing right there.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Haha, WTF was that

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Larry Nance passes it to Jeff Green. Okay.

 

[Ale Xander]

this is BS

 

[djbayko]

Breen: "Bell bounces back after the mistake."

LOL, what are you watching?

 

[shawnrbu]

Curry and Perk going at it.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good job Cavs

 

[johnmd20]

Doesn't matter what the Cavs do if Klay and Curry and, um, West are just going to keep splashing threes.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Jeff Green is losing this game for Cleveland

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Jeff Green is losing this game for Cleveland

If him and JR Smith are going to combine for 7 points over 46 minutes (3/15 shooting), the Cavs have no chance.

 

[shawnrbu]

BANG!

 

[johnmd20]

Breen just soiled his pants.

 

[Kliq]

Oh my.

 

[mwonow]

Holy shit that was an incredible shot

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Lebron is the best ever. The Warriors are just... Oh my God

 

[BigSoxFan]

You having fun, LeBron? Do the right thing and pass to Horford, Tatum, Brown, and Hayward next year.

Beating him will be more fun

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

James is so disheartened. I feel bad for him

 

[johnmd20]

Klay kept GS ahead in the first half and Curry is sticking the dagger in during the 2nd half.

 

[DJnVa]

Love never crossed the three point line, yet somehow fouled a guy taking a 3 pointer.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Jesus, refs have to have some ability?

 

[BigSoxFan]

JR Smith ruined this series

 

[shawnrbu]

Curry on track for his first Finals MVP.

 

[Ed Hillel]

The Celtics would have been annihilated.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

No idea why Love on Curry is still a thing. Wake up, Lue.

 

[johnmd20]

Curry fell down. Foul!

 

[djbayko]

JR Smith ruined this series

Horrible D by JR there. He wanted to be the hero and bodied up on Curry behind the 3 point line but then was oblivious to the pick and roll.

 

[mwonow]

The Celtics would have been annihilated.

Yeah, I've been thinking that over the past little while

 

[Kliq]

Curry has pretty significantly outplayed LeBron in this half; Cavs are going to be doomed when that happens.

 

[lars10]

Curry fell down. Foul!

Love def didn’t let him land.. it’s exactly what he did with Morris when he got called for the offensive foul

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The Cavs are going to win one, if not both, games at home. This Golden State theme of letting them hang around until they decide to turn it on in the second half will not work in Cleveland, because if they play as poorly as they have in the first halves of these two games, the front running Cavs and their role players who show up when they are at home, will jump out to a large lead.

 

[lars10]

Beating him will be more fun

I’d like him to go to the west so that we beat him in the finals.

It’s almost like Curry looks more rested or something

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

 

[dhellers]

The Celtics would have been annihilated.

Beaten, sure. But annihilated?

 

[djbayko]

Has Young ever hit a 3 pointer in a game?

 

[lars10]

Beaten, sure. But annihilated?

I personally think the celts defend the 3 point line a lot better than Cleveland.. but they’d probably get destroyed down low by Durant and Green

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The Celtics would have been annihilated.

The offensive breakdowns would have been death, but the Celtics were elite mud ballers this year. If they could have managed adequate offense, they’d hold their own in the half court. Houston nearly grinded them down and that’s with Harden out there.

Still a clean series loss but we had the kinds of ingredients to make GS at least uncomfortable.

And all our guys would've known the score in game 1.

Agreed. I think we would have lost 4-1 but a couple of the losses would have been close.
