if James plays like he did game 5 and tonight come Sunday, even if they lose he should be MVP. Dude's unstoppable when he wants to be.
He's leading BOTH teams (ties Triston in rebounds) in every major stat. Points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. Incredible. The Lebron haters have nothing to hang their hat on, win or lose this series.
Curry's wife is also an idiot as usual. I still think that the Warriors will win, but we'll see. Crying about fouls being the reason the Warriors lost is silly. The absolutely no contact foul 3 against Love is far worse than anything they can complain about.
/reported steph curry, ban incoming
I know it was but it wouldn't be new. We need something new.

The officiating has been horrible this series, glad Steph finally gave the refs a piece of his mind. The NBA has orchestrated a game 7 since the draymond suspension so now they get what they want (ratings $$$$$$$$$). However, they shouldn't be so obvious about it with the officiating. Usually Steve Kerr won't comment on it so it's surprising when even he said he was glad Steph threw the mouthpiece. Those fouls were pretty dam funny! It was like the refs are doing it just to see how silly they could get. I was entertained. For the sake of the sport, I hope they don't do that in Game 7 and they let them play.so when the warriors win, it's because they are the best NBA team ever and steph curry is the GOAT.
but when the warriors lose, even when every loss is a blowout and they can only score 11 in a quarter, it is due to poor officiating.
lol.
everyone crying about the bad foul calls against steph, but nobody is talking about the completely ridiculous calls against kevin love in the 1st quarter when the warriors still could only score 11 points.

One thing I can say about the officiating is that they *really* seemed to make good judgement on calls where the shooter was forcing contact. There were a number of times that Curry or Thompson put a shoulder, elbow, hip, leg whatever into a defender to cause contact and the refs ignored it. That's A GOOD THING. They never should be getting those calls. Varejao didn't get the call when he wrapped up the rebounder by the neck and flopped. The few times Lebron got calls was when he stopped his dribble, gave a hard pump fake and got the defender in the air. That spin move from the 3 point line and the jump stop with the fake to draw the defender in the air was one of the best plays you will ever see from a guy his size.
The last several games the non-calls with contact around the rim has been mostly consistent. Lebron has to get essentially wrapped up around the waist/arms to get a call when driving. Curry isn't getting as many calls as would he prefer driving to the hoop. It's pretty consistent.
There's definitely some phantom calls (Love and Curry were the biggest recipients) with ticky tack or non-contact. But you have those any game.
But overall I really do think the refs did an "ok" job of keeping the foul calls more balanced and didn't bite on as many sells as they could have.
imo, they really need to start calling offensive or technical fouls on the people who are forcing contacts. and they REALLY need to start calling technical fouls on people who flop. flopping should be reviewable imo because one look at a replay and it is so obvious when it's a flop. this would also start to curb flopping.

Looking forward to game 7. But lol at people here saying Lebron should be MVP even if they lose. There is no value in losing, the MVP should always be on the winning team.
I'd be more in favor of a post-game review and then fine for flopping, with enough violations leading to a suspension or something. There's enough pausing as is with all the reviewing they currently do.
Foul #6 on Curry was pretty ticky tack and #5 could have just as easily been a no call/steal. However, Curry falling all over the place after shots attempting to get phantom calls is a disgrace to the game, as is Lebron's flopping and exaggerated reactions to being barely touched.
I wish Bill Lambier were playing today just to punch them in the face when they do that.

Not when the obvious best player is on the losing team. If Cavs lose, Lebron has still played far and away the best and has been the most valuable player. If the Warriors win, they have done most of it without Curry. Cavs would have lost 0-4 without Lebron. That's silly saying they should always be on the winning team.
GSW rely 100% on their shots going in, they aren't the type of team to constantly drive to the basket. Last year in the playoffs GSW didn't have any real challenges at all which is why they easily won especially against the depleted Cavs team. Look at this year's playoffs, OKC nearly knocked them out and Cavs taking them to 7 games and Curry is just like last year's Finals, not playing MVP like at all.The NBA definitely go what they wanted with the Green suspension. How you get thrown to the ground and tea-bagged, and get thrown out from the next game.. lol.
Credit to the Cavs though, they've been grinding on D and knockin down shots. Lebron has been taking and making shots. It's what he's got to do.
On the Warrior's side, they're shots have not been falling. Everything that went down early in the series from their bench and roll players, just haven't been going down.
It seems like a matter of who's shots are falling pretty much.

i used to think dwayde fell a lot until all of the warriors playoff game were on national tv and now i think that curry falls more than dwayde ever did.
