Lol wtf was that? Did he think they were up by one?

yeah. lebron will likely murder him later tonight.

[Monkey_Driven]

This has been very entertaining.

The Warriors have no business winning this game. My God.

Nope. And I feel like losing this game is going to suck the life out of the Cavs. Look for a blowout in Game 2.

Thompson's gonna get suspended. He didn't get his money's worth.

Tony Brothers should lose his job for this. What a joke. He hit dude in the arm and got ejected. GTFO. Perfect, just perfect ending.

[4/5]

Yes, hyperbole. I'm pissed.

That officiating was an absolute embarrassment down the stretch.

[i got bugs]

Probably the dumbest play in NBA history

Dumber than the webber timeout, even tho that wasn't in the nba

ref crew should be as ashamed as jr

[Joesanity]

Overturning the foul on Durant is going to bug me forever.

Both just brutal.

Oh well. I didn't think it was possible for the Cavs to outplay them. They actually did but lost. What a gut punch.

It was a block. I don't agree with the overturn though.

[verb_to_trust]

You can be in legal guarding position while still moving. Durant plowed him over.

Probably, but overturning it was complete nonsense. He was clearly outside of the restricted area. Whether a guy is in the restricted area or not is black and white. Whether that's a block or a charge is not. I've never seen something like that before. There's no way they should be able to use review to overturn that. It really stings since there were two missed calls on back to back possessions just a few minutes before (LeBron's strip on KD and then LeBron getting slapped across the arm at the other end) that apparently weren't important enough to warrant review because they weren't under two minutes or initially called an offensive foul with a defender in the same zip code as the restricted area.

Live and in every full speed replay it looks like a clear charge. In slow motion from behind it looks like a block. It's a 50/50 call but to overturn that man......

[verb_to_trust]

At the end of the day KD had to join the team he choke 3-1 to to beat LeBron. Anybody with eyes can see LeBron is the best player on the court by miles. Can't really get too much credit for winning a title when the clear best player is on the other team being legendary.

Lord almighty Jordan Clarkson is useless.

My son's played a few games of Fortnite online with him apparently.

In normal speed that was a straight charge, but either way it was so line-ball that the right call, and the only one they could actually properly stand behind, would be to go with the original decision. Changing the call just reeked of letting the Warriors off the hook.

LOL at Steph trash-talking with LeBron. LeBron and Thompson vs Curry and Thompson in a bust-up - they'd become the snap brothers. Noticed Klay got the fuck out of there fast, must of thought LeBron was looking for him.

Thompson's ejection was a joke and there absolutely should be some come-back on the ref. How they can stand by that when reviewing it is a joke too. Draymond should really stop clapping in people's faces too - makes him look like (more of) a dick. And nice eye-gouge on LeBron early too. Cock.

JR Smith is gonna have a bad evening I think. Did you see how wide open LeBron was at the top of the key too?? If he'd made that pass he would have been a hero - pulling the ball out when no one expected it and everyone was collapsing, getting the ball to LeBron wide-open for the game-winner! How funny would that have been as no one but him would have known how totally confused he really was. Bummer.

[Monkey_Driven]

Durant's foot was on the ground before LeBron was set. He also was moving sideways. That is a block. I think we can all agree the overturn was BS after the fact with replay, but they ultimately got the call right.

The Cavs missed several opportunities to win the game, even with the bad calls.

LeBron was absolutely incredible tonight. My God.

[Higgs]

For a league that consistently calls slight arm raises as offensive fouls I can't see any way that wasn't a straight-ahead charge. I see he was moving slightly but Durrant hit him through his centre mass, that means he was there first.

Happy to agree to disagree though, in the end my complaint is the same as yours - they shouldn't have overturned the decision, whichever way they initially had of called it.
