    was that a mocking of LLLLL's offseason workout thing?

    Or was it an epileptic attack?

    It was hard to tell.

    That was clearly a blocking foul. His feet was still moving trying to get into position and he was leading with his shoulder. It’s not simply about being in the restricted area or not. I think the refs got the call right.

    I mean why would the refs be helping the Warriors, shouldn’t they be helping the Cavs (which they were). I saw several Lebron fouls that were questionable or outright ridiculous. I also saw the same for the Warriors.

    All in all I think they called a pretty even game. Bad calls on both sides.

    Ha.. Cavs were all over the place in their post game interviews.
    Coach Luu says JR Smith thought they were up one. He then claims that they were robbed on the call reversal & that that had "Never happened before in NBA History".. (Wrong)
    JR Smith says he knew it was tied & was thinking they were gonna call a Time out. (um call it yourself moron)
    LeBron claims that "He read that defensive play as well as any play in his life" & that he was definitely outside the restricted area (he was) and that we was definitely in position..?? (go watch the film LLLLLBron)

    Warriors had a poor shooting night (especially KD) & the Cavs couldn't take advantage.

    This Cavs team is a complete joke... just like Kobe's Lakers pre his trade demands. The difference is, east vs. west. No way in hell, they would have made the PO wihout him.

    Lebron's play makes me wish even more that the Lakers secured that rebound in game 6 vs Phx. I still believed Kobe and Phil would have dragged that team through the Clippers and Kobe would have destroyed Dallas, probably ultimately falling short vs the Heat.

    There were blown calls on both sides. I don't get blaming the refs for the Cavs failure when they got the most important call of the night - holding Hill by Thompson to go to the line for the game winning free throws. Hill missed that last one all by himself. JR Smith ran the clock out after getting the board all by himself. Two chances to win that game straight out. Both failed. Those were Lebron's teammates. Then the Cavs didn't even bother showing up in the OT. They had their chances, just didn't get it done.

    If we did grab that rebound, I don't believe the Pau Gasol trade would have happened. Kobe demanding a trade is what spurred the FO to get off their butt and send Kwame out for Pau. If we didn't keep losing in the first round, I doubt Kobe would have went on that tirade.

    JR Smith is a liar, he just didn’t own up to it. He thought they were ahead, he can be seen mouthing those words in this clip

    The more I watch that clip of JR Smith's blunder the more hilarious it is! :Laugh: I love it. He's one of my least favorite players in the league.

    Meh, all that would mean is Durant would have to step up and stop playing like a scared little kid. Curry already did his part game 1. All the Warriors need is to have Curry, Durant and Green outplay LeBron and Love, the rest of the rosters are scrubish, it balances out.

    I'm beginning to think Durant is a front runner who is comfortable taking the shot ONLY when the Warriors have a comfortable lead and helping to maintain it.

    Me too, in which case he deserves to lose, and if the Cavs win, so be it, they will have deserved it. They should have won game 1, so the Warriors already got lucky once.

    I Loved when JR played for Denver. They were a serious Team, but I could always count on him doing something stupid or shooting them out of the game...
