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

[Tlyons]

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.

Oh we are going to get calls. It will be some very obvious shit in the first quarter or after gs has all the momentum just so people can say "see you guys are getting calls too, just home cooking is all".

Just watch. We are going to get every call to start the game just to sway the general public into thinking these games are being called evenly.

I still think we got screwed by the refs in game 2. There were a couple times where we had the lead in the 6-8 pt range, the Love to Lebron pass comes to mind, where we are about to get a momentum swinging play and the refs blow a super obvious call.

Happened multiple times.

You would think this would start to change but I'm not holding my breath.

I hope you're right. I also hope we're winning to the degree that a late BS call can't be made.

You're absolutely correct. We'll get some "bad" calls in our favor, maybe even a few egregiously bad calls. But they will come either when the score isn't close, or very early when the game isn't being decided. But we'll never get one when we're trying to stave off a GSW run, we'll never get one with the balance of the game on the line. We will never get the kind of benefit the Warriors got when the officiating gave them a finals victory instead of a defeat, and especially not by overfuckingturning a call made on the court with a contrived bullshit excuse for a replay. Never.

I defecate in the league’s general direction.

They don’t just have a favorite - they don’t even have the decency to be subtle about it.

Not only do they fuck us up the ass, they don’t even have the decency to give us a reach-around.

 

[GreekMo]

They are pros. They know exactly when they gonna give us the calls. They clearly have a job to do in these Finals. Psychology is a huge aspect of the game. Especially when we got some soft minded players who we expect to overcome this shit. Only Lebron can. Refs knew. Fuck their first 2 games and all good. I expect a win in game 3 while Bron goes off for 50. But you can see that the league won't let Warriors lose.

Can someone explain the rationale for giving "no emotions Lue" a tech when the refs could legitimately file verbal domestic abuse cases against green-draymon (the harassment Pokemon)

Can we change "game" in thread title to "series"?

Sadly. This

I think the best way to take advantage of early home cooking is to not switch off ball screens and just foul and shove them every time they're trying to set one or run around one. Just gotta start the game with that being the precedent on defense

Because never arguing means the first time you argue must be less credible than someone who argues all the time.

Sadly this stretegy must be implemented starting game one. See Indiana pacers

I think we did that later in the Celtics series. Indiana was the worst though holy shit. They were so hard to screen. We gotta just burst through them

We could just hold them. GS is allowed to hold on screens. It's a fair league

Lol when it comes to women I've learned we all just have to accept that in their minds they're always right and somehow we're always wrong. My girlfriend is literally convinced I'm right about stuff 1 out of every 4 times
