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

This is disrespectful to all the long hours Curry spent in the gym learning to land on his ass after shooting a 3 pointer.

I hate that leg kick thing, or the jumping into a player. I wish there was a way to punish the offensive player for that.

Especially when they don't even fucking connect and still get it

Tbh with all of you, I'm kind of just over it all. It's just not worth it.

I don't think it's all "rigged" necessarily, but we've seen it now for 4 years - they get away with stuff that we simply do not. I mean that long pass to LeBron last night really kind of just put me over the edge.

I probably won't watch the next game just because I'm so tired of ending up pi**ed at the refs and I'm tired of watching their showboating antics.

Yeah, I am just about there too. I made this point in my complaint email to the league. If they keep this shit up they are going to lose fans in droves. What is the point when the Warriors already lucked into the best team of all time, and then when someone rises up to try to take them out the Refs swoop in and save them. Not just us, it happened to the Rockets too. Just disgusting and not entertaining.

Reminds me of stupid hot take shows from SAS, Cowherd, or Skip Bayless. Agitation is not entertainment. I have no idea why sports networks think people want to watch this. My daily life is enough of a pain in the ass, I don't need the added annoyance.

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

Yeah, the tackle on the fly route was just egregious. Again, NOT sure why the NBA wants them to win, but would love to know the reason.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

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.

Pro sports leagues just have no qualms about fucking over Cleveland. I bet they find it mildly amusing. Like when the female ref awarded the ball to the Redskins, when Duke came out of the pile with it. “Nothing to see here. Move along. Black is white. Up is down.”

 

[MediumBaller]

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

I didn't realize the game started at 8:00, so I missed most of the first quarter. Does anyone have a video of this?

My suspicion is that many of the Warriors, Kerr and others are "made men' in the league. Thus they can get away with bloody murder.

Really they're in that weird sweet spot of annoying. They play the "underdog" card quite a bit, ESPN helps them with it, but it's so obvious they're not.

I won't be happy until I read that there's a brawl involving all of them, and Draymond Green's face looks busted.

There is - you let the defensive player come down hard on them.

I went and upvoted that, then downvoted all of the Ken Mauer Fans, here and here. Helping with my rage issues a little bit.

I can't believe that video has so many dislikes.....ugh. Much more disappointed with the Curry call than the Bron no call.

Such a shame, though.

 

[kookoo]

Shit, even Skip Bayless agreed the refs are screwing the Cavs and LeBron over... No idea why I watch that show but basically everyone in the media outside of Steven Assmith think we were cheated and have been blatantly reffed against. 2/3 Warriors championships (if they win this year like expected) will have asterisks by them.

Yea I saw something pretty fitting after the last two minute report and all of the fines/suspensions decisions had been made post G1 - basically the thinking was "so you admitted to all of these missed items (Green foul on LeBron, lane violation on FT), you didn't suspend Kevin Love even though by the book he maybe should have been, didn't fine Lue, downgraded TT's flagrant (essentially the thinking for the last 3 items was the NBA admitting they screwed up big time so they let the Cavs slide) - at this point what is the point of even watching if that's literally how much you screw up in just 2 minutes of game action?"
