being a physical team and committing blatant fouls are two very different things

Lebron is hacked all ****ing game, STFU, your boy showed up too late.

Both teams played hard.

[AcquiringSteak]

perfectly legal, think about it, if steph curry isnt complaning why should you?

getting hacked and getting tackled are two different things :oldlol:

[Prime_Shaq]

and yet Warriors are hacking LeBron in the paint all game, what do you say to that?

[dude77]

there were various suspect calls or noncalls in this game .. seemed strange

[warriorfan]

and yet Warriors are hacking LeBron in the paint all game, what do you say to that?

And LeWhistle gets to lower his shoulder and stiff arm and literally tackle people with no call. That is what I got to say about that.

[JZ600]

Pathetic golden state fans really complaining about calls? Lmfao joke:roll:

Lebron was assaulted 5 straight times late in game 2 with no call, still over came it and won the game. One missed call isn't an excuse, especially for the MVP playing on the heavily favored, stacked Warriors.

Eastern Conference teams are just so much tougher and more physical than WC teams, it isn't even funny. Chicago came out and punched us in the mouth. We hit back. That was about as physical a series as I have seen since the mid-90s.

Now, we're taking the same philosophy to the Warriors after they've been allowed to prance around the West all postseason and they are just flat-out unprepared.

Btw, I saw at least 8 uncalled illegal screens in this game. And, the Warriors are the same team that hacked LeBron all night in the first two games, held our guys down on jumpballs, etc... none of it called.

Now, all of a sudden, the officials need to start calling it tight. lol

Get tougher or lose. That simple.

you really have no shame. after irving got injured you all but gave up on the cavs.

now, you're enjoying your "so much tougher" eastern conference team. almost rubbing it in.

I agree with everything you said, but coming from you.. it's a little, idk. I guess I expect more humility out of you.

I did think we were done, as everyone on the planet did. I also said I'd watch every second of every game and cheer my guts out. I'm not really sure what that has to do with anything. This series is still far from over.

And, for the Warriors fans to complain about officiating at this stage of the series is absurd. They've gotten the benefit of the doubt by a very wide margin.

I said all playoffs I was disappointed in the lack of physicality the Warriors faced in the West. I got KILLED for it. I think pointing out what has become increasingly more obvious to everyone else is fair game, especially with what we've had to put up with all season being in the Eastern Conference.

What is the deal with ground ball situations? Given the type of game basketball is I don't get how if you dive on the ground to claim the ball you basically sacrifice all rights to being 'fouled'. People can jump and claw you and it doesn't matter. Happens all the time and I'm honestly surprised people who go to ground don't get hurt more often once they have the ball

Called me out for trolling too after I told you your team would play better with Kyrie out the first couple of games. :facepalm

None of these instances were as blatant or dangerous as the no call slide tackle from LeBron.

you've watched the cavs all year though. you knew how physical they were, you knew the warriors haven't faced anything like it.

I think you got lost in your irving love, because he's truly 'yours'

you don't have that same passion for lebron because of what he did to you 4 years ago. we all know what you had to say about it...

In no way am I questioning your happiness right now, I just know you'd be a lot happier if your boy kyrie was healthy. you'd feel a lot better if he was dominating instead of lebron.

early congrats anyway... 1st ever championship.... huge.

series obviously not over, by any means. but congrats if we do pull it off.

[RedBlackAttack]

Ah, no. Fully healthy, this series isn't close. Delly and Tristan have been playing major minutes all season. Having Kyrie and Love wouldn't change that. We just would have the scoring to match the defense and a bench longer than one guy.

[warriorfan]

Being physical is fine, slide tackling people in the open court is not.

[plowking]

You're living on hypotheticals, while what I said has actually occurred. But whatever.
You said Delly was trash in game 1 and implied he would continue to be so. Well...

Of course I'd love for Kyrie to play, but I've been watching Tristan and Delly for years, too. Honestly, man... I don't care who is dominating. Kyrie is 23. He'll get his chances.

This thing still has a LONG way to go. I'm not getting too excited. Frankly, I'm just relieved it isn't a sweep or a 5-game series. These guys have laid it all on the line and that's all I can ask.

[RedBlackAttack]

He has been awesome, obviously. And thank god, because as great as LeBron is, we're not winning this series right now without Delly.

Dude, you're Australian. I would expect you to have more insight on Delly than me. I've only known his name for a couple years. That's more than most, but not freaking Australians.

The support I have for Delly on here is absolutely over the top and joking, and I'm sure you can see that. I really didn't know much about him. I watched him once live, when his St Mary's team came here to play against an NBL team and didn't really see anything special (apart from their center, Omar something), but yeah.

I've just watched the Cavs in the playoffs. They thrive off spacing the floor, Lebron doing everything, and them focusing on defense. They do it better with Kyrie off the floor. I'm not saying you guys are a better team, or close to it with him and Love injured, but I did assert that you would play better right now, with Kyrie not there. Obviously depth is an issue, but the tactics with Lebron doing everything and slowing the game down is perfect against this team, which it wasn't when Kyrie was playing.

I can't wait to see this Cavs team fully healthy next season.

Kyrie/Delly
Shump/JR
Bron/Jones
Love/Thompson
Mozgov/Andy V

Some draft picks and smart signings... You guys will be as good as any team in the league, particularly due to the sheer size of the front court. That was a huge factor for Kobe and the Lakers during their title runs.

[navy]

Alright, but we all agree that was a foul.

Kyrie actually really likes playing at a slow pace. He was second in the league in efficiency in isolation situations behind only James Harden. He'd be crucial in an offense like the Cavs have implemented where they're running the shot clock down and creating plays under 8 seconds. I think that was always the plan against Golden State, with or without Kyrie.

But, that's a moot point now. He's gone and he ain't coming back. I will just say that the Cavs were really peaking when Love went down. He was really learning his role, Kyrie was averaging 27 points per game at that point in the playoffs (before the injuries started) and LeBron is LeBron.

We were looking downright scary.

Going forward, the great thing about having all this depth coming back next year is that we should be able to more closely monitor Kyrie's minutes. Believe it or not, he averaged more minutes per game this year than LeBron. They were both in the Top 7 in the league in MPG, though (Ky was 4th, Bron 7th).

That was mostly because we were playing catch-up after the rough start before the trades. In 2015-16 with a deeper team and presumably a nice cushion in the standings to start the year, I'd like to see the Cavs manage Kyrie's minutes the way the Warriors do with Steph. Same with Love.

With all of these other guys stepping up, there's no need to play a handful of guys 40 minutes a night.

[warriorfan]

Why bailout a player that has played like shit all game and gave zero effort? I know I wouldn't.. Curry doesn't deserve shit tbqh. Also, refs tend to favor the more aggressive team. Cavaliers wanted it more. 50/50 call.. it's the finals... get over it.

Good explanation on why slide tackling is now allowed in basketball. Will future rep.

[MP.Trey]

If Bogut and Draymond are allowed to box out with nothing but their hands all game, then I don't see the problem here. :confusedshrug:

[kshutts1]

Certainly looked like a dangerous play to me.

I thought the ref job was pretty consistent, which is all we can really ask for, IMO.

That said, I came away from the game with a sense, a feeling, that the reffing was bad in favor of Cleveland. It's weird, because in my 20+ years watching basketball, this is the first time I have that feeling without being able to back it up with evidence, etc.

Either way, this series is so much more than I expected once Kyrie went down. I'm loving it.

[stevieming]

I can't believe the refs didn't call that a foul...absolute joke....

its basketball not football.....

[the_troof]

Curry was about to take a 3 in transition too...that no call cost warriors the game.
he wouldn't have made it tho :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Jon_Koncak]

Van Gundy and Jackson calling this tackle a great hustle play :lol

[Jasper]

Who has a replay on that slide tackle by LeBron? How is that not a foul? :lol
:facepalm

I looked at it 3 times , and ironically he dove to the ball on the way down , timing was perfect and created a turnover.
I have only saw that once before and that was with Hondo playing for the Celtics in the early 70 season. :applause:

in your 20 year experience you thought the early 2000's series that the Lakers played in were fairly called :no:

No. I said "had a feeling but couldn't single out plays". The early Lakers' series I could point to plays.

[Goldrush25]

being a physical team and committing blatant fouls are two very different things

They've been letting Draymond Green and Bogut foul at will. You should be lucky they aren't counting everything or those two would foul out by halftime.

[kamil]

LeBron* gets away with the stiff on every play, and nobody bats an eye.

[ArbitraryWater]

got the ball first, then into his body.

So much bull right there :facepalm

[ShackEelOKneel]

Does that matter? You can't block a player than land completely on him either. It completely took Steph out of the play from getting a chance to recover the ball. A clear foul either way.
