it's funny how it's a "star-driven league" but team loses 2 of its 3 stars and is competitive Finals opponent vs 60 win dominant at home team. happens a lot in the reg season too obv.

No Love, no Kyrie, no officiating in a place where they do not lose, and we won.

lol snrub sorry man but the calls were going the cavs way all night, and the two iffy ones against lebron at the end weren't terrible (he travelled on the first, second was just a botched toss)

Refs were so bad both ways. Glad it kinda evened out by the end

xp yeah when he had that breakaway my first thought was dude you should just lay it up b/c this is the closest you'll have been to the basket in countless years

jeeze, clay. give snrub the games. warriors are still going to win.
― Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 8 June 2015 03:30 (nine years ago) link
the game. singular.
he's just talking about the officiating, which was shitty overall and certainly not favorable to the warriors

@johnschuhmann: Curry's 26.1% was his worst eFG%...In 36 career playoff games.In 97 games this season.In the 247 games in which he's taken > 15 FGA.

i meant easy fave preseason. west faves will be split between spurs-dubs-thunder-clippers (i'd guess that order too) but cavs would be heavy faves to win the east. above might've been true regardless of past two games but i can't be the only one thinking this team is missing their second and third best players (w/ a drop off to four) and they're one shot from having gone up 2-0 on the road on a historically great regular season team.
― balls, Monday, 8 June 2015 05:17 (nine years ago) link
Iverson's Sixers pushed the Lakers early in the series too (and could have made the series really interesting if Tyrone Hill wasn't an idiot).
But no, the Cavs will only be preseason title faves if the public pours a lot of dumb money in.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 June 2015 05:55 (nine years ago) link
Kind of amazing to think that the West-East imbalance started way back then and we've never really gotten out of it.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 8 June 2015 05:56 (nine years ago) link
knicks have been a complete disaster almost that entire time. what's crazy to me is when the pistons won i remember thinking 'finally' and hoping some balance was coming back and arguably it's more lopsided now, and it could get worse- this bulls era easily could've already peaked, lebron's only getting older, durant could stay in okc, brow's only gonna get better.
― balls, Monday, 8 June 2015 06:06 (nine years ago) link
some east teams are bound to get better - pacers, celtics, maaaybe the bucks. but barring massive good fortune no way any of them get championship-level better, and compared to how the pelis and OKC will (probably) get better the difference is lol

This game is awesome fuiud

I spent the entire night frantically texting with my dad, an Ohio native who insisted on watching the whole game even though he's recovering from ehrlichiosis & I did everything in my power to convince him to just go to sleep.
3Q was riveting, JR Smith was maddening, & any Dubs fan who complains about the officiating deserves the gulag.

Harlabob says the Cavs really got lucky by having JR foul out, dude was just not sharp last night
Anyone know what the hell is going on with Bron's shooting? He's turned into kind of a chucker (especially with no second option) but I remember him making these shots normally...

I'm already looking forward to turning off game 3 in disgust en route to a 106-73 GSW victory... maybe I can talk my boss into letting me work tuesday night

― Joan Crawford Loves Chachi, Monday, 8 June 2015 14:17 (nine years ago) link
xp true the pistons will get better i just dunno if it'll be immediately next season. then again with some luck they could prob muscle out the bucks who were legitimately good in many ways but also kinda overacheived.

“I thought I was being friendly. She was rooting for LeBron the whole game so finally I was getting irritated and I said, ‘I’m the owner of the Warriors.’ She didn’t care, she just kept going

the gotta hear both sides version:
-not really surprised rihanna acted at the v least like a troll, at worst a low key asshole-that said lacob can't really expect to tell her what to do - in general, but especially not if she was just loudly rooting from bron and not like, idk, loudly cursing while his kids are right there or w/e

man grant hill was hanging w/ the wiz owner (who wore a bullets jacket: respect), you can't get salty cuz somebody didn't root for the home team

i can't remember the last important playoff series where i felt like each coach was totally absent from the proceedings.
from blatt it's understandable if not expected especially considering how shorthanded they are but i feel like golden state has been essentially coachless this series which is not good!!
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 June 2015 15:58 (nine years ago) link
last night steph didn't move without the ball practically at all unless he was coming to get a dribble hand off on a screen (like the tying finger roll) -- it was kind of concerning how often he was just standing off on the wing motionless and like looking away from the play? i dunno.
the warriors have been entirely rhythmless this entire series against a team that is a decent defensive team at best, i don't quite understand it
