Allen, Pierce, and KG were all acquired through drafting, developing, and trades. The Celtics utilized the assets to the fullest and built a super team in the most earnest way possible. I can respect that. They did not call each other up and say lets build a super team together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwags Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 If JR Smith were in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Bin Laden, he'd shoot Hitler twice, thinking he'd have another bullet for Bin Laden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Romo Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 2 hours ago, ReggieBush said: Its the worst of the 4 NA sports leagues, both entertainment wise and from administrative point of view. That is indisputable. Anyone who even casually follows Pro Sports in NA knows this. Its repetitive and doesn't reward teams that play the game the right way (Like Utah. Like Indiana. Like New Orleans, Like Portland. Like the Spurs). When a real team comes close to knocking out a star or team of stars, the way officials officiate the star players takes it away from them. Then why are nba ratings significantly higher than nhl ratings. And im assuming they’re higher than mlb ratings as well, I havnt checked those numbers though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL you're joking right? How many times is Lebron fouled going to the rim, and yet there are numerous players that avg. moree free throws then him. It's like Shaq he's so much stronger then everyone else it doesn't seem like he gets hit. Warriors have been getting favourable calls every playoffs for the last 4 years.

It's been a couple of years since LeBron has had most calls go his way. Anyone thats been watching basketball recently would be able to see he doesn't get as many calls as he should. For example in the 4Q yesterday - that steal on KD was as clean as can be, yet is called for a foul... go the other way and has Looney (?) swiping at his hands, no foul..

HI5 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 That was a tough loss for Cavs, bad calls and brain dead plays cost them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 The replay on the charge was sketchy for sure but the other play where the Warriors' player was fouled driving to the basket, I wonder if it was the other Cavs player who got the call? Lebron certainly looked like he got the clean strip, but there was also a lot of body contact from the 2nd Cavs defender. Either way, Smith's error was what really cost them the game. The zebras are always going to miss calls, and in virtually every sport, the bigger, stronger guys are expected to "fight through" contact more than other players, but mental errors like that are just killers.

gmen81 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Warriors still would've had 4 seconds to score. That's plenty of time for them and they only needed a basket. JR Smith corn Ty Lue calls that timeout right away and then it either gives them a chance to win or they just go to OT if they miss.

Sikhguy23 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 The heat has to be on Lue as well. As a coach when you see your player running the opposite way you should call a timeout, heck even 4 seconds left as soon as he catches the ball call a timeout(not ideal). We can go around pointing fingers at everyone, all that matters now is the Cavs show up with the same intensity and manage to take it home with the split.

We talk about what might have happened if JR knew how to count, or what might have happened if LeBron had drawn the charge. (He did, but you know what I mean) Bottom line is, the Cavs went into OT with exactly the same chance as the Warriors and got smoked. The zebras played a role, Smith played a role, but every Cav not named LeBron has to be looking in a mirror as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) The league says the right call was made when the blocking foul was called on Lebron. They tweaked the rule regarding replays to make that play reviewable. Reminds me of Hull's GWG which the NHL claimed was the result of a tweaking of the rules mid-season and the right call was made.

NewbieCanuckFan Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Didn't seem to hurt the NBA when there was essentially only two "Super Teams" during the Bird-Magic era. In fact, those two pretty much saved that league I think. Watch the documentary "Magic & Bird - a Courtship of rivals" if you haven't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
