Steve Kerr Blowing Up In The Presser. OLD HEADS GET IN HERE!

[fourkicks44]

Kerr calls out the refs.
Says Lebron flops.
Says he is happy Steph threw his mouth gaurd.

Puts the situation in context by stating THIS IS THE FINALS and having the MVP fouled out and ejected is unacceptable.

This man played in the greatest team of all time in the greatest era of all time. As an unbiased viewer and life long fan of the game, I agree with him.

The last two games the refs called nothing. Let the games go and we saw flashes of the old physicality we grew up with. Tonight they did the reverse.

The refs had way to much influence in this game tonight. They are not the reason why the Cavs won. Cavs dominated the Warriors. But all we have seen is weak basketball and blow outs in every game.

I want to see a tight finish. I want to see clutch plays. I want the MVP on court to see a competitive game. The refs took that away from us tonight. This League is becoming a joke. This shit is hard to watch or enjoy.

this is just a way to show his team he has their back and motivate them for game 7. It's a smart move, Phil used to do this a lot too.

[newbetterbucs07]

Meltdownnnnnnnnnn :djparty

[MP.Trey]

Noooo. Refs. Save my MVP. Waaaaahhhh. :roll:

[tmacattack33]

Watch Lue and watch Kerr.

This is bball and there will be some questionable calls. Watch what Lue does when there's a bad call...not much.

Now, watch what Kerr does.

This also happened last series with OKC.

Kerr has been whining a whole lot on the sidelines.

[SexSymbol]

you don't have to be genius to see that there's no way to call last 2 "fouls" by curry actual fouls.
Refs wanted him out of the game and they stated that immediately when he received his second foul which actually was a clear offensive foul by bron.

[Ai2death]

GSW & Curry both get just as many favorable calls, but we won't mention those will he cause it won't suit his agenda

[fourkicks44]

Game 6 of the NBA Finals and the MVP got EJECTED.

:applause:

Great era.....

When did you last see the MVP of the NBA bounced from a game in the NBA Finals, especially on three or four absolute bullshit foul calls?

[imdaman99]

Well he was right. I don't like Curry but the Warriors were coming back and the refs got the call to ensure a game 7 :confusedshrug:

Refs called ticky tack fouls on Love, basically doing Cleveland a favor. Against Golden State they called ticky tack fouls on Curry, the league MVP.

[STATUTORY]

Steve Kerr does NOT GIVE A FCUK. You better not push him anymore Adam Silver, he will let it all hang out. ALL THE SKELETONS

[livinglegend]

Well he was right. I don't like Curry but the Warriors were coming back and the refs got the call to ensure a game 7 :confusedshrug:
:biggums:
It was a 14 points game with 4 min left, Cavs had the momentum.
How were they coming back?

[NBAGOAT]

Well he was right. I don't like Curry but the Warriors were coming back and the refs got the call to ensure a game 7 :confusedshrug:

which ones did you think were the most egregious? Thought the 2nd was 50/50 or a no call. Last one was bad but the game was over by then. Main bad one I think was the reach-in but I've even seen a few Warriors fans who surprisingly thought it was fine.

[hold this L]

2nd his feet were planted, his 5th he stole the ball and was completely outrageous and the last was a leFlop. He kind of has a point. You can't let their players grab and hold and give these small fouls to MVP. I hope the boys step it up though. Regardless of refs, Cavs outplayed them.

[sportjames23]

GAME 7 GON BE EPIC

:banana: :banana: :banana:

[PWB15]

Steve Kerr is retarded

[fourkicks44]

The standard of basketball has reached a new low. Warriors game plan, small ball, focus on the 3 ball...... Exposed.

Standard of officiating in this whole playoffs..... Absolute shit.

Remember this:

The NBA product is trash. How did it get so bad so quick?

All time low for this league.

Damn dat'z a big word.

Can these refs recover in time to officiate the Money in the Bank PPV for Vince McMahon on Sunday night?

K i don't have a problem with any of those being contested. Did Foster do this game again, there were some meh calls on both sides but tbf no one cares about Love fouling :oldlol: Unfortunately, I've seen people use the refs just to discredit what James did but that's expected here from both sides. When you say small fouls, do you mean the other fouls in the 1st half too btw?

[tmacattack33]

...

Yes, that's Bill Simmons. A Boston native and Celtic fan (Celtic fan = Lebron hater...Lebron going evil mode in Game 6 in 2012 ECF vs Boston must have been Bill Simmon's worst night of his life).

[fourkicks44]

Who will ever forget this piece of shit officiating:

[Heilige]

So because he's the MVP he deserves entitlement? Kerr needs to get all the way the fu*k outta here.

Kerr was nonchalant when the ***** Hunter was wildn out on ****** every night, but now he wanna come out here with this bullsh*t?

[SexSymbol]

he loves bron with his heart, take a look at his work dude

Complete List of NBA MVP award winners that have been ejected in the NBA Finals:


Stephen Curry

[Smoke117]

Let me get this straight...because he's the MVP he can do whatever he wants...because it's the finals? Okay. :facepalm

[PejaNowitzki]

No, its that he got bounced from the game for fouls that wouldn't be called on the 10th man on any NBA roster. Out of the 6 he was called for, about 3 were legit. Just really horrible foul calls.

[Euroleague]

When Kerr played with the Bulls, the Bulls got enormous help from the refs, and Kerr got 3 championships out of it.

So him bitching about the refs now (although the refs obviously have an agenda) is a little hypocritical.

[NumberSix]

Damn. Steve went full blown racist in that post game.

[Achilleas]

Damn. Steve went full blown racist in that post game.
what he said;

[Goofsta Knicca]

Ask Steve how much da league paid Steph 2 foul out. He should be mad at his own dood. Steph pullin a Pete Rose and bettin on Cleveland. Ayesha just a patsy.

[fourkicks44]

Let me get this straight...because he's the MVP he can do whatever he wants...because it's the finals? Okay. :facepalm

It is not about him, it about the game. Do you want him out?

Do you want watered down games?

Do you want the refs to have influence on the game?

The most entertaining part of the game was when Lebron swatted Curry's layup and face to faced him. That's the Competitiveness I want to see. The best two players squaring off face to face, one on one, to determine the best team in the world.

But nah weak fouls and the MVP out of the game makes a much better Finals series, you are right. What a time......

:applause:

Great era.....
An era where MVPs don't pplay defense. I mean players voted for Harden and Curry got voted by the media. Nothing more to see here :oldlol:

[FKAri]

This is always slippery logic. So just how much more should an MVP superstar in the finals be allowed to get away with? Why not call everything the same all the time. I just wish the refs would stick to a threshold and call it the same all game.

And there within lies a major part of the problem.

The shit they let go in the last couple games and then this crap... No consistency and no credibility.

[cltcfn2924]

Watch Lue and watch Kerr.

This is bball and there will be some questionable calls. Watch what Lue does when there's a bad call...not much.

Now, watch what Kerr does.

This also happened last series with OKC.

Lue whined enough to get fined 25K. What are you talking about????

Lol Lue knows LeBron has the ref pressuring whining held down for the Cavs

[EllEffEll]

Crying about the refs is for p*****s.

Do you ever see anyone ever say that their team won because the refs gifted them the win?

There is always someone that thinks the refs jobbed them when they lose, but never open their cakehole if they win.

If Curry doesn't want to get ejected, then he shouldn't do what he knows will get him ejected. Being MVP shouldn't get him any favor with the refs. Maybe the MVP should show some class instead of acting like a brat because the calls didn't seem to go his way.

I didn't think they had it in them, but Cavs played some ball last night. Credit where it's due :pimp:

[Rake2204]

I definitely thought those Steve Kerr comments were calculated.

I'm sure he was irked by some of the perceived missed calls last night, and I'm sure he was a bit flustered, but Steve Kerr's a smart fellow, and a Phil Jackson understudy, no less. Manipulation is an art form; sometimes it's subtle and sometimes it's not.

In this case, I don't think his juxtaposition of the perceived lack of calls on Cavs grabbing and holding Curry and Thompson around screens versus the ticky tack calls the Warriors were picking up on the other end was an accidental point he just happened to stumble upon.

Nevermind that Kevin Love picked up his third foul by moving out of the way of Draymond Green. Kerr's open willingness to pay a $25,000 fine was his way of applying some pressure and focus on the league and its officials heading into Game 7. If his comments lead to any degree of tighter officiating on off-ball grabbing and holding, which it absolutely could, then he will have succeeded in what he was attempting to do.

That was by far and away the worst call of the night. Absolute bullshit.

Look I agree Steve Kerr had an agenda and hidden reason for what he said. But what he said was the truth.

Yeah. According to journos, he was seen talking to Bob Myers privately before walking into the press conference. I'm sure they were discussing how to talk about the refs and what to point out. Kerr putting in work. :pimp: Saying that, he was 100% right.

[PP34Deuce]

The issue is curry is reckless with his hands. That last foul was 2-3 fouls in a row against a surging Lebron James. He kept reaching and it bit him in the butt.

curry also got a couple of calls for Reggie Miller flailing and acting like he got shot.

[dreamwarrior]

I can't stand the Warriors, but what they did last night was so blatant. There's no more doubt, this league is fixed.

I don't know if the officials got the calls right (seems many believe they did not), but Curry put himself in some really unnecessary positions that sort of left it in the hands of the officials.

For instance, I understand the notion of applying full court pressure when you're trailing in the fourth, but if you're a team's best player and you've got five fouls, randomly poking at a secured ball from behind is the absolute wrong play. I thought he could have been called for a reach there; it may have been the wrong call but again, based off of real time perception, I've seen those types of plays get whistled before (especially if James were to have sold it to any degree). As it turned out, it led to him drawing a foul anyway. Maybe the incorrect outcome, but he never, ever should have been there in the first place.

Also, the second quarter reach on Kyrie Irving was another terrible decision. Didn't prevent a momentum-swinging layup or dunk, wasn't even a bad call. He just... grabbed Irving while trying to work his way around a screen. Terrible way to pick up a third foul.

Then, I forgot when it happened, but when he tried to draw another charge on LeBron James along the perimeter... I think he was playing with five fouls but I could be wrong. The refs left it as a no-call but again, completely unnecessary decision considering the circumstances. It almost felt like he was daring the officials to make a controversial and/or incorrect call to foul him out.

Definitely agree. It reminded me of how Phil Jackson would do similar things in the postseason with his comments in regards to officiating.
