F this. I'm rooting for LeBron. Cav's teammate flubs game away thinking it was tied

This is such bs. You obviously never watched Jordan play. Jordan basically invented is ball. LeBron will end up with twice as many assists as Jordan.

*Jordan basically invented iso ball* and was heavily criticized for it during his early career.

Absolutely brutal refereeing in this game. Draymond Green had two uncalled violations in the last 12 seconds, but he should have been automatically ejected for deliberately poking James in the eye, whereas Thompson didn't even make contact when he was automatically ejected. Durant fouled James, uncalled, then James took the charge outside the circle and the call was overruled, a call that shouldn't even have been reviewed because he was way outside the circle. There were many others, as if the refs had bet on the Warriors. And just brutal to LeBron for having his sensational game wasted by J.R. Smith's bonehead play, worse than C.Webb against UNC.

f***k the nba honestly

Seriously? LeBron low IQ? You know that he has a photographic memory, right? He sits there after games and recites play after play with exactly the spaces on the court and all the players involved.

I believe it wrote:

LeBron has to babysit this entire team like telling JR Smith what the score is with 4 seconds left/telling him to shoot. The Warriors are also the most hateable team in professional sports, eclipsing the Patriots

Is the reason the rest of his team are so bad because LeBron is sucking all the money from their salary cap?

Has he prioritised financial gain over championship glory?

Genuine question: Who forced Cleveland to trade Kyrie Irving while he was still under contract?

And what did they get back? Isaiah Thomas with a hip injury and a bad attitude was below worthless, actually counterproductive, while the Brooklyn Nets pick turned out to be just #8 in this year's draft.

They traded their second star and got back nothing this year. LeBron James has had one of the great playoffs of all time to get them here and if not for Smith and despite egregious refereeing still would have taken game one with one great player and a low tier all star playing with a concussion and mental health issues against a team with two top tier all stars (Curry and Durant) and two mid tier all stars (Klay and Draymond).

The nba is a joke. Every game is turned into a circus. Replay review has been turned into another tool to change calls and manipulate the outcomes of games. I quit watching a few years ago but unfortunately was at my parents tonight and had to sit through that garbage.

Lebron is silly good though.

This game was completely rigged. Here is a series of events late in the 4th quarter

Foul called on cavs for clean strip

Foul not called on warriors for hammering Lebron causing turnover

Foul called on cavs on Durant blow by. Replay showed not even a touch foul

Then that ridiculous change of a charge call to a block.

It’s like watching professional wrestling.

The above may be true, I don't rember for sure, but the changed call to a block was the correct call, and the correct protocol and rules were followed in the change. And if your gonna mention missed calls or bad calls, late in Q4, as Looney was close to the rim for a putback or layup, Lebron bumped Looney from behind, causing him to shoot ackward and miss the shot... that's a foul, the refs missed it.

And if u really believe it's rigged, why would the NBA rig the game for GS over Cleveland? More interest and ratings would be created if Cleveland wins game one.

Also, there will be mistakes in ref calls, they have one angle, and must make a split second decision. They also can't see everything that goes on. They are actually pretty good at what they do, but just as players mess up, so do refs. Players must read and respond and do do refs, and every possession is different .

Imagine if the call wasn't overturned and the NBA came out with their last 2 minute report saying LeBron should have been called for blocking? The agony would have been even greater. Ooooh, NBA luvs LeBron. L eBron LeBron LeBron....Good luck on
