Wethers Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Noooooooooo!!!!! Scott Foster, voted by far the worst ref in the NBA, is the lead official for the Cavs-Warriors game 2 tonight. How in the world is Foster in the subset of NBA officials allowed to officiate in the playoffs, let alone in the NBA finals? http://www.latimes.com/sports/nba/la-sp-nba-best-worst-referees-20160131-story.html http://official.nba.com/referee-assignments/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2016/05/10/referee-scott-foster-criticized-for-shaun-livingston-ejection-in-warriors-blazers-game/ So congrats on winning game 2, Cavs! (Kidding, am a Warriors fan but fully respect Cavs and Lebron who can win on their own merit. Just can't stand Foster!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Nice little run by the Cavs to cut the lead to 8 at the half, but it feels like the Warriors are just kind of toying with them overall. Warriors looking pretty damn good on both sides of the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime L Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 The good news for the Cavs is Richard Jefferson is playing great. The bad news is he's looking like their second best player tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But knew after that Thunder series the Warriors would luxuriate against a team without the same kind of athleticism and endless 7 foot wingspans. Unrelated, I find it so weird how freaked out Draymond Green gets when it comes to wide-open 3's even on a night where he's been strong offensively and even had a few moments of hero-ball....but only if someone is right up on him.

Jaime L Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Is it too early to start the Kyrie Irving trade machine? Think they could get Chris Paul? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrim Fox Cauthon Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Last year the Warriors were clearly a nervous wreck. They barely managed to win their early nail-biting games through the Cavs little mistakes, luck, and some key talent. Now the Warriors seem far more prepared mentally and athletically for what they are facing in the finals. LeBron is definitely one of the greatest of all time, and he should not be ashamed about his two rings and six appearances in the finals. But a 2-5 reputation certainly means 7 finals appearances, the problem is that people will likely see that as an inability to close. Last year, Warriors fans kept hearing about how this would be different if Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were healthy. (And my Bulls fan friend said last year that if they were healthy, it would have been more in the Warriors favor.) LeBron has built this team to excel, but I'm not sure if this team could have won the championship against the OKC Thunder. The Eastern Conference is just so weak right now.

I really thought Cleveland could make this more competitive. I have no idea why you would think that given the previous game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Wow. What a beating. Again. LeBron didn't play very well himself, Irving obviously also problematic, K Love knocked unconscious. But even if he had played the whole game they would have been demolished as well. OKC must be thinking "if only" right now. If only Durant had been in good shape.

David Selig Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Kyrie is so useless when his shot is not falling. Such a black hole on offense and a defensive liability. A guy with his elite ball-handling and shooting skills should be a nightmare cover in a pick and roll yet he isn't that at all since his decision making is just terrible.

sperry Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Wonder what Lebron does in the offseason. This Cavs team doesn't even look close to a championship contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
