(((( Warriors vs. Cavaliers |||| 2018 NBA Finals |||| Round 4 ))))

Lmao

tfw you tell on yourself

Tristan Thompson said he didn't think it was appropriate for Shaun Livingston to take that shot with the time & score so he contested it. Said he wasn't attempting to flagrant foul, was surprised he got a flagrant-2.

just awful

Draymond was a liiiiiiiittle too fired up I could see another scenario where he gets goaded into doing something dumb again.

lol fair but more curious about the warriors side of things and how they haven't exactly lit it up

Lebro not having it at all in this presser

Lmao he just walked off after being asked about jr multiple times

LeBron walks off the podium after an exchange with a reporter about JR Smith, tells him to “be better tomorrow"

man these refs are fucked

lmao

fuckin hell cavs shoulda had that game

“We know that, in the situations, OK, we’d like to get the ball up to the basket in a tie game prior to the buzzer sounding. What we have here is a young man grabbing an offensive rebound and running very quickly in the incorrect direction. This is not ideal.” pic.twitter.com/WObIAYSE6l

every single front page post on deadspin is about LeBron lmao

hard to feel bad for a supernaturally gifted athlete who is gonna make a half-billion dollars and go down as the greatest to ever play but god damn I really do in this moment

We’ve all had to deal with coworkers making stupid mistakes and not being good at their job. What can you do!

I feel bad for LeBron. And him icing his knees after all these playoff games whether his team wins or loses...it's eerily reminiscent of the way Jordan was at the end of his career. Except of course the look in his eyes is one that he will never match Jordan's titles and therefore, will never be able to outright claim GOAT.

But when I start feeling bad for LeBron then I start to wonder what the hell happened between him and Kyrie.

ppl focusing on officiating dont really understand the game

Is this the real reason why Cavs lost the game? pic.twitter.com/acgtc431gY

tough out there when you get to choose your conference, your team, your coach, and your teammates

let us pray

The officiating in the Finals always includes some very bad calls and a whole lot of inconsistency. This is normal and should be expected. The trick for the players is to shrug it off, keep their head in the game, and play as hard as they know how. The trick for the fans is, uh, it makes no difference what the fans think of the officiating.

Warriors taking the “3-1” joke and making it their Finals record vs. Cleveland will go down as one of the most devastating counterpunches in internet history

nice.

no love suspension or tt

Tristan Thompson avoids suspension but is fined https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/10027406093905592325,000 for his role in altercation with Draymond Green. Huge break for Cavs.

— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) June 2, 2018

now dray can go nut-hunting and see if they just fine him. cuz he'd be just fine with that.

could probably get away with slamming the ball into tt's nuts, at the very least.

pretty funny the league decided to ignore the rules because ratings

yah im sure they woulda done the same if the roles were reversed ...

No fine for Lue surprised me more.

what was that thread called

wait why is there no game tonight im mad

"this expression"

his face looks too small for his head in that pic

Saturday night NBA finals games would be so awesome. #staurdaynightsalright4hoistin'

^^^gets it

I vote nba goes to a medal system and we see losers of conference finals duke it out for the bronze.

i dont think the nba needs more games lol

#staurdaynightsalright4hoistin'

yes

really cant be said enough

LeBron going for 51-8-8 in Iguodala’s absence last night reminded me of what a friend says a lot.

Iggy won Finals MVP in 2015 largely for “holding” LeBron to a 36-13-9 average. We’ve never seen anything like LeBron.

While he watches the action, McCutchen is on his personal device, logged into a Slack channel on which he discusses impressions of the referees' performance with a group that includes the league's new senior vice president and head of referee operations, retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Michelle Johnson, and the league's five developmental advisers, all retired officials.

anyway good article http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/23680154/crucial-calls-nba-refs-make-biggest-stage

The beautiful, sublime Cavs hanging in there.

Ty Lur doesn’t get enough credit for continuing to coach a team that almost literally killed him.

lebron “making the right play” when “the right play” is passing the ball out of the paint to an unguarded jeff green for a corner 3 is not the right play
