Ironic isn't it. It's like you're talking to yourself. I'm glad you at least have that bit of self awareness.
If I could say the same of you.

Each time Celts make a run or hit a big shot..Tony Brothers gives another key player of theirs a foul. Hahaha.

This game is rigged.

Nobody should freaking tell me Refs dont determine a game. They have called everything on Celtics and now Sixers have all the momentum.

I have to say I'm disappointed in you little man. I thought you were puffing your chest saying the playoffs was your time and that you were going to bring it. I have to admit I was pumped, heck I was salivating. Somehow you still came up short cheesy

The summary is...GSWs system is the parity shatterer. Not Talent. I repeat, GSWs way of playing is what makes them look extra...not the talent.

System coaches always beat Lebron; Carlise, Pop, Kerr.

When Brad has the requisite Talent, he will join them. Let us just say very soon.

Yuuup. But only because the warriors added KD. If the warriors were as they were, led by curry. It'd be competitive but LeBron will beat that bum 9 times out of 10. The whole league would be balanced though.
Let me tell you how it panned out;

Cavs up 2-1 in the series then lose 4-2. Everyone says with Kyrie and Love it could have been a gentlemanly sweep.

Warriors get angry and go 73-9 to prove they are legit champs.

Minor bleep against OKC..and the same chants again. People say OKC choked more than GSW won.

Then GSW face Cavs again, with the subsisting narrative, Cavs should sweep them like gentlemen. Guess what, GSW lead 3-1 with 3 blow out games to 1. It is a joke of a final.

NBA step in. First suspend Draymond. Then eject Curry for complaining about 2 flimsy calls on Kyrie and Bron. The worst and most pathetic calls you'd ever see.

Game 7 was a toss up. Admittedly, no cheating or anything. NBA only wanted to have that game 7. Harrison Barnes sh*ts the bed missing uncontested after uncontested 3s that would have made that game a routine blow out.

But even with all that handicap this is how you know how great LeBron is. The Cavs constantly had the lead but by the time he steps out the lead vanishes. Remember game 3 when LeBron sat for 2 minutes and the warriors went on a 10-2 run?

Through four games, here's what he was for his team.

G1: -22

G2: -11

G3: +7

G4: +32

Total: +6
Where is game 5 in this?

You are mad at durant move, but not lebron move.

Are you not tired of this vile hypocrisy?
He wants every star to play with Bron; Boogie, DeAndre, PG, Harden....

But in the same breath criticises KD.

You can't make this up.

i still can’t imagine any team winning Warriors in a 7 games series. Maybe I’m being delusional, because golden state can switch anytime, if 3 pointer not working, you can always put the ball on Durant’s hand. Steve Kerr don’t get the accolades he deserves, Steve Kerr is good.
I have said that so many times that I just stopped saying it altogether.

They will always say he has 4 all stars but when we lose they blame him.

Today Pels shot 12 more FTs than GSW even when they fouled 2more times than us. Radio silence on here. Later we will hear that Refs were giving us more FTs.

The Jazz and Mitchell have to take it one basket at a time. They are jacking too many bad three's in a bid to stay close but every time they have taken their time to move the ball and penetrate, they find easier buckets.
Desperation. They don’t want to drop 2 home games.

No, your assesment is not definitively true. All fouls in favour of GSW were good calls, the pelicans were commiting terrible fouls, the fouls were too glaring.For example that hard ofuld on Igiodala in game 2.Most of what you considered fouls that should have been against GSW, were not clear fouls. Davies was trying to bully his way through the defence, and the GSW defence spearheaded my draymond are not having that. That's a simple assessment. I don't understand why everyone wants GSW to lose, when they are not, it's a either the referee was not fair or they are too stacked.If the Pelicans want ot win this series, they will have to show they want it more.Like they did in game 3.

Watched highlight of the Warriors Pelicans again and I see warriors going to the FT line much more than the pelicans in each game. AD should be on that line on almost every play.
Truth is aside from that game 1, Warriors arent playing that great and pelicans could be ahead if the officiating was fare
NBA protects..........

Cavs vs Warriors finals again
The way to make your case is to isolate a couple instances where Refs gave a ticky tacky call in favor of GSW. I have one; Rondo deliberately hit Steph’s ankle in game 3 and the NBA is yet to suspend him or did Ian Clark not smack Curry’s hand on that 2pt attempt that they called a blocked shot? But Draymond was suspended for calling Lebron a b-tch....in the NBA finals.

If you watch bastketball and not the score boxes you will notice that GSW have tried to put the defenders of Pels in foul trouble. So when you see all those cuts and screens, the players still don’t jump to the hoop but try to sell many pumps and fakes so that they can get +1s. It is not the extra point they are looking for, they want to get buckets while adding fouls to Jrue and AD most especially so that the Pels strategy of funneling a player into the box for AD to swat will be thwarted.

Pels on their own are running out quickly in transition to hit 3s. They are attempting way more 3s than GSW because that is their trade off. They know if they play the foul game, GSW will have time to arrange their D and by the time you start trading points with us, chances are we are going to make more. So the leverage is the 3 adds up better than the 2. That is why they won game 3 so convincingly; because GSW shot poorly and they could not miss. But their 3s piled up and before long it was a 25pt lead that later shrank to 19 by game end.

So when you see GSW having more foul calls it is exactly what was designed. If anything, the refs are not calling the fouls as oft as they should. The last 3mins of game 2, Curry deserved FTs on every possession. Read me: EVERY possession. In fact, the Pel players were yelling at the refs for not calling it. They wanted to use it to slow the game but the refs just wanted the game to flow. So when I saw Rondo arguing that the last possession should have been a jump ball between him and KD, it was funny because he knew the refs had ignored every possible call leading to that. KD was fouled 2 times before Rondo could even hold the ball.

GSW lost. You people should milk your celebrations well but no need for the hot takes. Apart from last season, GSW have had bad game 3s going back to even Mark Jackson’s time. Heck, we were on the verge of losing game 3 against Cavs till KD turned up. That is where he deserved to be the FMVP. Curry had till that point outplayed him slightly.

Mehn, congrats to Lebron. He will most likely get to another NBA finals. Only Pacers played like they wanted to be here.

As for Sixers, they had a chance today and they blew it. Even if they had won, Celts are clearly the better team with obviously the better coach.

I know they lost a couple of starters, but their rookies were highly drafted which means they know their stuff. Jayson Tatum has leadership potential. I pray ego does not come up anytime soon because when Kyrie and Hayward come back, some of these rookies will fallback into the rotation.

What does Ainge do about Rozier now? Can they keep him after this season? He seems like he can lead a team as their PG although part of his success is Brad.

I famously called Al, Horfraud in the past. He is legit. If only he can do a job on that Akron guy now and Celts come out the east. That would be nice.

Sixers and Raptors believed their own hype. Sad ending.

Poetic that Embiids pocket gets picked by the player who had picked it all game.

If they recover from this, they might as well win the NBA finals.

Jayson Tatum showing the mentality and poise of a leader.

98-96 with less than 1min to play.

He has kept his team in this.

Baynes and Marcus Smart already out due to fouling out.

On a normal day, home team wins but can’t rule out the young celts.

Those who want to watch the game are watching the game, those who don't have boxscores. If you want to break down the game then please do. Your score update isn't needed.
I wanted to ignore but you do realize we had a thread before all versions of you showed up?

There are certain people who don’t watch games because they don’t have the time. They read the updates (chronologically) and follow the game that way. I do that even till date in games I don’t watch and I did that a lot when I was in Nigeria.

If you have any analysis to make, you can do that. You don’t need to quote me to, except you are trying to make sure I am noticing you are alive. I guess this proves it.
