It's showtime -- let the (NBA) games begin!

Weak. They had to bite another cities nickname. LA has always been called The Land since I was a teenager

Isn't LA called La-La land?

Interesting about the Land never knew that. I do agree Cleveland just started using it 2 years ago.

 

[longislandcuse]

Literally every player is running their mouth in this game. Nonstop.

 

[OrangeDW]

Too many whistles. No flow.

 

[NineOneSeven]

GSW defense good

 

[jordoo]

How many FT's should Steph Curry have in this series? He's in the low 20's in game 4 less than the Cavs had in the first quarter.

[OrangeDW]

D Wade looking like a boy band reject. What the hell?

Cannot defend when everything you do is a foul. This is the worst officiated game I have seen in 15 years.

Well, looked like he got hacked on that drive that was a turnover.

I know he got hammered near half court on that early turnover.

I think he shot most of his Ft's in game 1.

 

[jordoo]

Pre determine by the league

 

[OrangeDW]

Kyrie going crazy again.

 

[Alsacs]

Anyone else getting annoyed with how childish this Cavs PA is?

Their music and chants shouldn't be necessary for a Finals game. We get it. They also stole basically the entire 1990s Bulls stuff and don't think people can remember that.

15 years? Would you happen to be referencing Lakers/Kings lol?

Uh... I'll take contrived travesty for $1000, Alex?

 

[jordoo]

Parade of fouls coming on Cavs to try and make it look better at the half. . . . I hope

Every time someone travels, I still think of the 1990's Orlando Magic PA guy's " trrrraaaveliiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnngg"! Most obnoxious thing ever, lol.

So sloppy

Always are it seems

 

[MikeSU02]

I thought the foul calls were mostly legit. Draymond should have had a flagrant 1.

But the same was not called against Cleveland. That's the problem! Call it the same both ends which they have not.

 

[Alsacs]

Van Gandy and Jackson have been awful defensive tonight.

It's cool guys you don't need to defend yourselves.

It wasn't the same play on both ends. FTs won't always be even.

 

[Alsacs]

I wasn't old enough to watch the 1985 game 1 Memorial Day massacre but this game is probably the parallel to it.

 

[NineOneSeven]

That's not a foul

If this travesty continues, it will just make game 5 exponentially worse to make up for it.

The NBA playoff officiating has always been a joke. There is no other sport where playoff teams get blatantly preferential calls in favor of the home team.

Can you imagine if that happened in the NFL? There would be riots in the streets--literally. Nobody would stand for it. Can you imagine an MLB umpire calling things differently for one team vs. the other? It's goofy.

They will be closer than 22-2 in a quarter. The Warriors have gotten nothing going to the rim the last two games.

 

[OrangeDW]

Kyrie and Love are a combined 7-9 from 3. Game 3 they went 1-16 combined.
