How is this LeBron James tackle not a foul?

How is this David Lee leg lock not a foul?

And why didn't Curry get an and1 on Mozgov catching his arm? Makeup call? lol. I guess two non-calls on the same play balance it out? Is that how they figure it?

I don't how they figure it. I think I'll start looking at refs in the same light as like bad weather during an NFL game. Both teams are affected by it, it can get worse as the game goes on, one team might benefit from it more but it's hard to tell who and everyone just has to play through it. I know it's a hard game to ref, but sometimes man, it's just incredible. Get more refs if you need them, but figure it out already.

How was this not a foul on Klay?

Cavs had so many calls go against them. So what if one or two went against GSW?

I don't think that is a foul. If it is, highly marginal that could be called almost every play. If this is what you have to complain about you are reaching really far, wow

They almost always call that. It's hardly reaching.

You can always tell whose a fan of an east coast team, and a west coast team. For all you sunshine drenched, Margarita sipping,west coast surfing, relax by the poolside fans, this is east coast at its finest.

I can't stand the cavs, and watching them suffer for what seems like an eternity, has brought joy, and sunshine to my life. The only thing I hate worse, is a west coast team, that everyone says plays great defense, when in reality, they play great west coast defense.

This is the reason they are losing this series. Man up, get out there, and learn how to grind, play smash mouth basketball, get on the ground, and out of your sun-drenched ivory tower, with these east coast plebs, or prepare to watch a bunch of mid-western fans celebrate with hot cocoa, freezing thier butts off smiling, while your crying into your bud light lime.

Weird the NBA games I watch don't have foul calls every posession, we must be watching different leagues

He grazed him at most. People talking about Klay "undercutting" him while ignoring LeBron "boxing" out Green on rebound that led to the fast-break.

You're right, lol. I think the only way to fix it (although many will probably hate the idea) is to go more instant replay. I care less about who wins than having a fairly called game. It's pathetic how many bad calls we see every game. And every team is affected by it. It's about time the league really does something to try and fix it. Unfortunately it won't happen this series.

That's a very dangerous play. It could have easily left LeBron slipping off the rim and taking a hard fall. Shameful reffing not to protect the player in the air.

It's dangerous if they make any actual excessive contact. In reality, Klay barley even touch fouled him at most.

It was definitely a foul but it has been bad both ways the whole series

[joeyAdaMan]

a lot of crying in here....i thought GS was an all-time great team? no excuses as to why they are letting guys like Delly and TT own them....the warriors are just scared......period ....i don't think this was a foul at all....they've really been allowing A LOT of contact in these playoffs overall and especially in this series....if Curry wants he can get the "Superstar Calls" that Lebron gets if he manned up at starting forcing the issue like Lebron does......an ALL-TIME great team(allegedly) shouldn't need the refs help to beat a one man show

Because the Lee foul happens before the shot?

[shoefly1]

The league says it wasn't a foul. Clean strip and incidental contact. Not sure I agree, but that's what they say.

The only incorrect calls were the Lee illegal screen on Steph's 3, and a foul by JR Smith on Iguadala with ten seconds left.

Incidental contact?

He helped Cleveland gain an unfair advantage by preventing/obstructing him from recovering the ball.

Incidental? By this logic, you can two foot tackle a player and break his ankles or legs if you get the ball first.

Also, you ignoring the Delly double dribble/And 1 after Steph's on the ground foul?

Here is the best replay of it. LeBron gets a piece of the ball but Curry would have easily recovered had LeBron not tackled him and then quacked the ball away again once he took Curry out.

Sorry man, that's the way the NBA calls loose balls. Once it's loose, nobody is getting called for sliding into a guy and making what turned out to be pretty minimal contact.

Also "would have recovered it" doesn't mean ****.

Fair enough. As long as the call is not given the other way when someone knocks the ball away from LeBron slightly and then breaks his ankle or leg through "incidental" sliding contact. I mean it is just incidental contact right...

I'm honestly pretty surprised what the NBA lets happen when the ball is loose.

Also, Lebron barely knocked Curry over. Bringing up broken limbs is ridiculous.

It is an exaggeration but the same principle should apply. Apparently, the rule is there are no "rules" on a loose ball. You can literally take out players.

[HeartBreakKid]

Warrior fans are looking in poor form. Take your losses gracefully like the Raptor fans did. Some of you Warrior fans are the reason why there is so much backlash for GSW around here.

[yoyoboy]

GS fans can't complain. The calls have been going their way all series. I mean Draymond, Bogut, and Lee practically set illegal screens on every possession.
