green has punched like 4 or 5 dudes in the nuts this playoffs.

Green and Curry are both very fortunate the NBA is no longer in zero tolerance mode. I'm glad it isn't this way anymore but that mouthpiece throw could have been huge about a decade ago.

I don't know how to post pictures on the mobile site. She basically said that the nba is rigged

I feel like I've seen a rigged series in the Kings/Lakers WCF when it appeared to most the Kings had outplayed the lakers and this looks nothing like that.

This is 3 games apiece where one team just whooped the other with very little doubt.

This. It would be an absolute treat to see a high-intensity game, right down to the final buzzer. Even though every game has been a "blowout" of this series, it really is high-pressure and intense, I don't see a blowout in game 7. I hope I'm right.

My head says the home team of this caliber won't lose a third straight. But if they don't limit James and Irving more than the past two games it could be quite the story for the cavs.

I don't disagree! I just want a fun game to enjoy as a casual, 3rd party bystander

Watching Curry hit the fan from a different angle, definitely looks like he aimed and hit a specific fan who was pointing at him.

If the NBA suspends curry for game 7 of the finals they deserve all the backlash they'd get. Honestly it looks like the warriors are really getting angry at the inconsistency of officiating. Crazy physical games yet real light contact gets called on occasions.

If the nba is rigged Mrs. Curry, do you really think they'd let the only unanimous MVP ever, choke a 3-1 lead away?:rolleyes: Hope game 7 is a good one.

You mean like the blocking foul Kevin Love got called for in the first half when there was barely any contact? Ticky tack fouls get called both ways, I would say the Warriors need to get over it and play ball but I'm not sure they're capable of doing that as they seem predisposed to whining.

I get what Kerr is saying when he talks about it being ******** that curry got 3 bad calls when he's the mvp, but that's annoying. Bad calls happen. The best players often get the benefit of the doubt. But they shouldn't.

They shouldn't suspend him, but they've chosen the champion through ridiculous suspensions before.

I don't think the officiating has been that bad, in 3 games the Warriors dominated and the Cavs were playing desperate stupid ball, the other 3 games flip the scenario to where it's the Warriors playing stupid crybaby ball getting crushed. That last five minutes last night was pretty disgraceful from the Warriors the way they carried themselves.

Curry flopped once on an incidental contact play to tag a completely imaginary foul on LeBron...in this game that was supposedly rigged against him.

Did Kerr comment on the time LeBron and Curry were both diving for a loose ball, Curry spazzed out like somebody just shot him with a machine gun, and they called a made up foul on LeBron? He played a sloppy game at times last night.

Kerr is like nails on a chalk board to me, a total drama queen for his cause. Couldn't stand him when he was calling games, and he's even worse in post game. His comments about Green's consistent strikes to the junk being swell pretty much disqualifies any legit complaints he makes from now on.

Really have not watched the finals that much and don't care who wins.

But given the history of NBA officials, I have little doubt about officials in that league having a big part determining outcome of games whenever they choose to do it. Sounds like last night they chose to do it.

Few games I have watched in these playoff's the NBA is nothing but a clutch and grab league, really ugly basketball.
