NBA Finals discussion

[Superbone]

Boy was I wrong about this game. There it is. GSW is definitely playing with fire. One game, winner takes all.

It was a really bad call on Curry. He had a right to be upset, but he went a little too far. I can understand his frustration though, as the calls down the stretch weren't very good.

Those calls were bad but the one were Curry had position in the first quarter on the perimeter and Lebron literally ran over him for Curry's 2nd foul set the tone for the night. Actually it should be bowling for dollars on most of Lebron's drives. He just shoves his way to the hoop and goes into a hissy fit on any call against him, like the one they did call when he tackled Curry in the third quarter.

Thomas has been a real pain in the ass but he grabs, holds and jumps on somebody virtually every play and gets away with it. Who needs Kevin Love? I would love us to get someone with the same skillset as Thomas. Every team needs at least one of him.

How much is McDonough going to offer Barnes after these last two games?

I expect that they have cost him huge dollars this summer.

Are you talking about Tristan Thompson?

Will the league suspend its golden boy for game 7 after his hissy fit?

The Cyborg had a pretty good night. The Cyborg has a hissy fit every time someone touches him while most offensive tackles in the NFL absorb less contact than anyone that goes against the Cyborg on either offense or defense.

Has Lebron ever fouled out of a game?

[Shabazz]

LeBron is still clearly the best player in the world. CLEARLY.

He's really something. Just unbelievable.

[EDC]

I was looking forward to the Warriors winning another title at the beginning of the playoffs. I now find myself hoping that Lebron can pull this off. The Warriors just keep coming off as cocky whiners. Of course almost everyone in the NBA is like that to some extent but I just find myself really disliking the Warriors after this years playoff run.

Hopefully Lebron has another great game.

Blind LeBron hatred is silly.

[AmareIsGod]

LeBron is something else. Wow. Definitely the best player in the league, without question, when motivated. All of this talk with commentators calling him out for being a b*tch and being called one by Golden State. Klay putting LeBron on blast. Curry's wife putting LeBron on blast. You have to cheer for a guy that's being torn apart by the media and his peers and now doing all he can to silence everybody. That's epic shit.

[Wally_West]

I think the Cavs take game 7.

[Superbone]

I think the Cavs take game 7.

They've got the momentum but I still think the Warriors pull it out at home. I think they will come out very intensely with no letdown. The team just seems to thrive when it's back is against the wall.

[ShelC]

The worst thing a jump shooting team can do is lose confidence and the Ws simply don't have it right now. You can tell almost from the opening tip. There's no flow to the offense, no bounce in their step, bad turnovers. Maybe they're tired or maybe they're just in a slump for the first time in their playoff run (even going back to last year). We of all fans know, you live by the jumper, you die by the jumper. And now the Cavs have the confidence and momentum and are learning to use their size and physicality to knock the Wd

Oh and Harrison Barnes might just be playing his way out of a max deal. He's legit garbage. He could've been the x-factor and stepped up with Green suspended and Bogut out but he's a total liability on the offensive end.

I do get why some are turning on the Ws and Curry. He's starting to remind me of Reggie Miller - still more low key than Reggie, but I can see how he can get under someone's skin like Reggie.

Barnes turned down $16M per year from the Ws this Summer. Think about that. That's more than anyone on our team makes. They should be happy they dodged a giant bullet. Batum would be a great fit there as I'm not sure how much gas Iggy has in the tank.

[Ring_Wanted]

I'm not sure how much gas Iggy has in the tank.

Iggy is a monster but he can't go 100% every single game of the rg season plus a deep playoffs run, on both ends.

Batum would be great for them. <Maybe they can get Batum and a PF for Barnes' money.

[O_Gardino]

I thought 2 of the calls against Curry were completely terrible. But it also seemed like the rest of the Ws didn't know when to help and when not to help on Irving. There were a lot of plays that looked like someone hesitated in helping on Irving, then their guy (Thompson or JR) would be open because the rest of the team didn't cover.

[Cap]

Will the league suspend its golden boy for game 7 after his hissy fit?

No. In fact, I was stunned they ejected him. Not that it mattered, since he had already fouled out of the game, but that call struck me as an overreaction.

[AmareIsGod]

He turned angrily towards the ref and threw his mouthpiece into the crowd.

[Cap]

Warranted a technical foul, no doubt. But I don't think it warranted ejection, let alone suspension.

It was a very human reaction. It's not difficult to imagine myself reacting the same way in the same situation.

I concur.

[EDC]

I personally think they have been too light on players throwing things and hitting fans. Game seven of the finals isn't the place to start new policies but they should definitely do something next season to make the players realize they can't just chuck mouth pieces or cushions or whatever into the stands.

[The Bobster]

You're always going to get ejected if you throw something into the crowd. That's just the way it is.

And the 6th call on Curry was a ticky-tacky call, but it was a foul. Certainly not nearly as bad a call as the one in the second quarter that gave Love his third foul.

The Finals have certainly shown us that being the regular season MVP (Curry) and the playoff MVP (which James deserves) are two entirely different things.
