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

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 examMost 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.

Brad stevens has arrived, he makes the best out of any crop of talent made available to him. I am now convinced joel embiid is no where near hakeems level. He doesn't seem to have the will to win, alongside another point guard considered ot be trascedental.

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 and 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.

Is this bird the birdman?

BarthramLestat:
I didn't even say shooter, I said 3 point shooter and some cupcakes here tried to come for me. Well, preach it DeMarre, that's a reasonable opinion to have. Just like mine was, I just don't get why people can't understand this.
