You really want to start this? Want to talk about all the bs that went the Warriors way?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I can see how it is a foul. But he did dislodge the ball first,

Bad calls for both sides, with GSW being favored most of the game. GSW needs to show up for the first 3 quarters and they could easily win. They dominate the 4th.

Was quite the slide tackle. The refs were letting a lot of things go

I thought he hit the ball out before he touched Curry.

He hit ball first , clean tackle.

but seriously , the warriors had enough go their way in the 4th. Stop

Anyone can tell how difficult giffing is? OTOH I can just watch the whole game on replay and list all the non-calls on Lebron, I'd guess that number is well over 10.

You have a pretty loose definition of a tackle..

After Delly dove to get the ball he rolled back and forth several times traveling before the refs finally called a foul sending him to the line.

Looks like LeBron hit the ball out of his hands before tackling him.

definitely a foul. but if warriors fans think this officiating has been Cavs bias this series, they're crazy

Nothing this extreme though, this was literally a tackle.

This is what I saw too.

Regardless, referees are terrible. Easily the worst part of NBA basketball. I hope for a day where they're all replaced by high tech motion sensing cameras.

Cavs finally got a call in the series and a thread is made about it? Yikes.

Was LeBron's Slide Tackle on Steph Curry a Foul?
