Might be the most rigged game I've ever seen.

I don’t know about you guys but I’m seriously thinking about not watching the NBA after game one, that game completely broke me as a fan of the sport.. I never felt that way after a game in my life

If LeBron, The Cavs were not involved in this series? I genuinely wouldn't bother.

It's (sadly) the same with the NBA and even a bit with the NFL (if the ravens, steelers are playing in a game? I'll find something else to watch or do).

Again, LeBron is a hell of an athlete and it's between him, Jim Brown now as the "face' of Cleveland sports all-time, but I find the product of the NBA in 2018 to be absolute garbage.

I can watch College Football, IndyCar, IMSA, World of Outlaws, Formula One, Some old simpsons episodes, The occasional Reds, Indians or Cardinals game to get my sports fix.

I don't need the NBA.

Mark Swartz is the biggest Warriors sycophant in the post-game pressers.

Refs have backdoored the Cavs more often than the Warriors have...

Really having a hard time giving a shit at this point. This series feels so completely predetermined and I don't feel like it's going to matter how well the Cavs play the rest of the way unfortunately...

Man I really wish the same thing that we saw befall the franchises of the Bulls, Wizards, and Pistons would occur to Golden State.

Seriously. It was fun to see LeBron just destroy the likes of Noah on the Bulls, Gilbert Arenas, DeShawn Stevenson on the Wizards and making 'Sheed meltdown so badly on the Pistons he got ejected.

You know how awesome it be to see Draymond Green just have this insane -Rasheed Wallace in Game 6 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals- type meltdown? or for LeBron to do the shoulder shimmy back at Curry ala him doing the "eye ball" sandwich back at Deshawn Stevenson?

That's honestly...in a perfect world? The type of thing those frauds deserve. I'd love to have that be the ending.

That's really the vibe I get off these guys by the way. They're a rich mans 2004-2007 Washington Wizards. The same fake "tough" guy mentality. The same arrogance. Just for whatever reason? Catches lucky break after lucky break.

When the refs overturned that charge call, they decided the series. And they knew exactly what they were doing. And now we have it: down 2-0.

Why the league thought it needed to help the most talented team in NBA history, I will never know, but there it is.

I know we Cavs fans don't want to admit it, but the Warriors are the face of the NBA today. They probably lead merchandise sales by a country mile. The league has plenty of motivation to make sure that cash cow keeps eating up championships.

Refs were terrible again last night.

Golden State getting the ball back after Cuck Curry air balled it out of bounds, and no foul after LeBron got tackled/tripped by two players were both egregious calls.

And the corner And 1 three where Love completely whiffed on touching him.

I was either driving to or from the airport for both of these games so I had to listen on Sirius XM in the car. I had them both DVR'ed but after the results I didn't bother to watch other than highlights.

It is pretty notable to say that even in the radio broadcasts I kept hearing descriptions where in real time the announcer would say stuff like "love shoots, he's hacked hard, no call" and, " lebron goes down on a fast break, surrounded by 3 GSW players, he goes down after a LOT of contact, loses the ball, no call". Just listening it sounded like there were at least 8-10 non calls by the refs for what should have been sending Cavs to the line and the Warriors should have been fouling out by the 3rd quarter. For those who watched, is this what you saw?

I doubt I'll ever watch those recordings.

If people think we're going to magically get calls in Cleveland... We're not. Our team couldn't buy calls against Boston and Indiana at home. The only team the league disrespects more than us is Toronto. It's sad but it looks like their goal is to get LeBron out of Cleveland. I would put money on LeBron averaging more foul shots after leaving the Cavs. Silver is a skeleton piece of trash.

They set the tone early when Lebron stripped Durant, ball off Durant's leg but they said out on Lebron.

thats why that game 1 was all so important. i saw this bs coming a mile away.

The first quarter of game 2 was as bad as all of game 1, too. Someone else mentioned it, but I just have no idea as to why the NBA protects the Warriors so egregiously and obviously. It's just really odd. What is the payoff for the NBA to do this? I haven't figured that one out, yet.

Yep and again, it wasn't even close. I'm sure Lebron thought, "Oh shit. Here we go again". That has to be so defeating for the guy.
