Does this apply to just me, or also the folks who think the NBA is pro wrestling?
I'm all ears. How did the refs cause last night's Golden State loss?
Love how the six people who visit the NBA forum in March groupthink their way into a Golden State party, dismiss poor divol as a crazy Israeli, and pull their hair out over refs. Golden State has been soft. Don't worry, they probably win the series. This is Cleveland. My apologies on behalf of the Cavs for busting your narrative.
My big thing with you is you don't understand how refs affect NBA games and have for 25-30 years. Nothing to do with this series.
Nothing to do with calls.
A 'tempo' was set in game 2 and with that crew people who follow officiating knew what was a more probable outcome.
We'll discuss more next year when the Cavs are not involved in a series.
These people who deeply "understand" at a level I couldn't possibly comprehend still bet Golden State in games one and two. Why? You could not be more patronizing.
Yes, like most sane people, I don't care about the NBA until May. Sometimes not even then. Doesn't mean I don't know what I'm looking at.
emkee has yet to bet the Cavs, and has crutched himself on the refs. Sorry, I'm calling bullshit on that. I'll go as far as saying the Cavs are up in the series despite not getting the calls.
Did you care about the Cavs last 4 years?
Not really, but it's not that kind of league. There's no farm system, no player development, the impact of the draft is about two picks deep. How many teams can you completely count out of a chance of winning a title, 25? The Cavs sans Lebron were one of those 25. Like the Heat. And the Pistons.
1. Bandwagon
2. Nice try--3 ships...5 finals...11 ECF's...since '87
I'd like for someone to admit he was wrong about one of the first three games. Ref-blaming is for women. Setting up your ref-blame blanket before the game even begins is especially effeminate.
Did you think the Pistons could win a title this year, and do you think they're on their way?
Bandwagon, lol.
You won't see me walking around in Spurs, Cards, Red Sox, Giants, Patriots, Seahawks, Blackhawks hats.
Great idea starting this thread for tip, bar. He definitely needed an outlet. Especially since he now seems to start drinking pretty early in the day

Bet the Cavs plenty in the previous rounds but guilty as charged in the Finals.
You figure the 'better' team would be up and highly motivated to win a 'ship, not piss around trying to make Sportcenter's Top fucking 10.
Again, it is what it is. Got Game 1, knew the Dubs were screwed in Game 2 yet played it stubborn and Game 3 is usually a cut and dry case for the better team - which contrary to your opinion is the Dubs. You can't deny the ref assignments in Game's 2 and 3 have been favorable for Cleveland, the numbers do not lie but it's not an excuse. Can't cap players attitude, Dubs play too lax and it's costing them. Maybe Game 3 was the wake-up call this team needs. One has to stick to what's been successful in the past and that's how I bet the games.
Grats on finalizing your nomination for the site's biggest pseudo-homer.
I have a secret motivation to keep this thread alive.
Haha and all ctg posters are married to models and are built like NFL running backDoes anyone really believe anything posted here? twink handles billions and Jayhawk could retire tomorrow. red sells polo shirts out of his hatchback. None of this is strange to you?
:enraged:this is my new favorite thread
250 million....LOL....shit is realDoes anyone really believe anything posted here? twink handles billions and Jayhawk could retire tomorrow. red sells polo shirts out of his hatchback. None of this is strange to you?
i agree....hate that shitHow about this rule change. At the ref's discretion, a jump shooter is not allowed to jump into a straight up-and-down defender to draw a foul. In fact, it's a tech on the shooter. Who doesn't hate that call?
