2016 NBA Finals — Warriors vs Cavaliers

it was called super tight in the first half and then in the second half they let them play didn't they

The players in the old rough and tumble nba smoked, drank and were in a lot worse physical shape than the modern nba players. both the warriors and the cavs would be like gods in the NBA of 1975. but they'd both have to hire one brawler to be the designated brute who knocks out teeth when the opposing team plays dirty. it was how you protected your stars.

Loved the chippyness

i thought that game was really intense and in no way marred by it

you can be intense and not hack, set moving picks or travel.

Yeah they just flat out weren't calling anything but at least it wasn't one sided

i mean, u can expect things will get sloppy in the finals from nerves. so u can either call it tight and slow the pace down and make it much more halfcourt, or u let em play and occasionally see dudes get scrote-punched

so, the argument seems to be that refs swallowing their whistles makes for more exciting hoops because the pace is faster when nobody shoots free throws, regardless of the infractions on the court. maybe for the average fan, sure, I can see that. I still don't like it. it's like, I know what hoops is when played right and this game where infractions happen but not consequences is not quite real hoops to me.

those barnes threes tonight were v important. 4/5 overall from three

really really want to know what curry and lebron said to each other

curry said he was griping about not getting a foul and he said bron thought otherwise

more interested to hear what dray told bron. something about honey nut cheerios hopefully

lol

According to a source familiar with the spat between LeBron James and Draymond Green, the trigger word was DG calling James a "b*tch"

"ahma make you a batch of cookies"

whoever hoists the most deserves the win imo

def seem like kyrie was playing hero ball in that 4th Q

their offense stagnated and they blew all their defensive assignments lol

^ sorry that is a captain obvious post but man u start to appreesh how the warriors and spurs keep on moving the ball even in clutch situations

Was Cleveland just tired in the 4th?

Maybe. The bron never came out

Warriors tightened their defensive game in the 4th for sure.
it was very enjoyable to see LeBron reduced to baiting Draymo to get a technical and then that hand blowing thing as a followup.

altho lol then he throws that dumb behind the back pass to the cavs

thinking draymo won't get suspended again. upgraded to a tech and thats it probably?

if i were a devious NBA string-puller i would do it now to get the Cavs another win

still think the warriors would own even w/o dray in g5, curry's gonna go super saiyin

Would be tough but possible

Draymond has completely transformed the center position

imo
1) draymond wont be suspended
2) even if he will be it won't matter

draymond suspended & we'll see how much it matters

i stan for draymond but he clearly tried to nut punch bron and given his history in these playoffs he needed to be sat down

Screw the cavs and Lebron for campaigning for it

i could see warriors winning the series in a game where dray is suspended.

meh id be surprised

draymond deserves to sit, and lebron deserves a wedgie

Fair

It's gonna take the splash bros both being on the whole game to win

LeBron James says he didn't intentionally walk over Draymond Green.

lmao alright dude

also

i hope they put it on the cavs hard tomorrow

"It's so hard to take the high road" - LeBron James.

the most intentional walk in the history of humanity was lebron's highstep over draymond

more intentional than the nut tap

No dog in this fight but ain't that the same dude that was crying in a presser about a pick?

yeah he called that pick in the key on Mozgov dirty

I mean any kind of machismo talk from pretty much any player not named Z-Bo would ring laughably false.

lol ok guys i like Draymond but he's a repeat offender at this point
making Ibaka and Chris Paul look good now

Ayesha Curry ✔@ayeshacurry
High Road. invisible bridge used to step over said person when open floor is available left to right.

tomorrow should be interesting

i think dray deserved to be suspended but still surprised the league did it! Also find it super lame that the cavs/lbj pushed for it

this drama is ridiculous cmon
