Do Not Sell My Personal Information

This is the real fucking story people need to be talking about. Seriously. Golden State gets treated like prime Michael Jordan by both the players and refs and for some reason we get the shit beaten out of us every other night. You'd think after we all had to put up with that Boston series and 2 of our best 3 out ruining an NBA finals for everyone the refs would be told to stop letting our opponents put our health in jeapordy just to steal a regular season win.

This thug ball seems to be so much more prevalent in the East coast in general where you have scrub teams with young players and big egos. Frankly I damn near stopped watching the sport after last years debacle.

Curry not getting the Jordan treatment so far tonight with two quick 1st qtr fouls against CP3.

And I think as the year goes on and especially in the playoffs, teams are going to get really physical with Curry and Klay.

I do think a lot of the slower, more physical teams are in the East - the teams that have to compensate for their lack of talent. The faster, prettier teams are out West.

Well if you've been watching Golden State games this season you'll notice every single game they get the calls in their favor at the end, quite a few BS calls too. Right now refs are straight up polishing knobs over there in GS.

I'm not too worried about it though. All I really care about is us staying healthy during the playoffs. That's really all that stands in the way of a Cleveland championship. Which is why I'm not too fond of this 'rough up the Cavs to make up for lack of talent and personel' strategy going on.

I liked the team play on offense. A lot of ball movement. 29 assists in total.

Giannis is going to be a star, possibly superstar.

The dude's athleticism is off the charts. Once he gets a handle on that jumpshot, he could be a top 20 in the NBA type.

Can you be a star if no one knows how to say, spell, or pronounce your name?

Guys do you think we should start delly and bring mo of the bench. Delly played great defense tonight while dishing a lot of assists. I mean mo is going to come off th4 bench anyways when Irving is back.

I would rather have scoring than defense off the bench. But when Kyrie gets back, I'm hoping Blatt doesn't do something stupid like play Kyrie and Mo together.

I am really excited to see the defensive lineup we had starting in the finals. Delly, Shumpert, LeBron, TT and Mozgov. It will be so different when those guys aren't forced to play the entire game. I think we can legitimately dominate any team because we have the talent for any lineup style.
 
Just noticed we outrebounded them by 20+. That's pretty crazy.

I honestly can't believe people are complaining about this after THIS game, wherein the refs decided to call Milwaukee for about 10 touch fouls in the first two minutes of the 4th quarter. Of all the games to bitch about the reffing, this ain't one.

Yes the refs actually called the fouls this game true, whereas usually the rough up strategy causes the refs to eventually just back off and let it go. However the problem is calling fouls doesn't really stop teams from doing the strategy either. Roughing can be quite effective and allow a team to compete when otherwise they'd go blown out.

And again, its our guys who get put at risk here. And for some reason the Cavs seem to face this much more than other teams.

I can't believe you'd be so lenient after we pretty much lost a damn championship over this very issue. You are a better man than I am I guess...
