How is this LeBron James tackle not a foul?

[E-Balla]

How about the refs start calling fouls for every moving screen set by the Cavs? Thompson and Mozgov would foul out in the first half of every game.

Bogut and Green aren't any better.

If Deledova had made that play, people would have lost their minds.

It is a huge joke that LeBron didn't get called for a foul running into Curry's legs, to make it even worse they bail out the Cavs by sending Delly to the line. 4 point swing right there that could of changed the result of the game.

I agree that the refs probably didn't have clear line of sight to see that but also behind the back dribbles can easily be viewed as a loose ball. So when there is a loose ball, everyone is pretty much allowed to dive into each other for it. No one sees David Lee diving on top of Delly? How is that not a foul? How is that not "dirty" trying to "injure" someone if the roles were reversed?

Some of you guys are watching the wrong league.

Way to cherry pick one call and make a big stink out of it. Whatever helps enforce a false narrative of "Teh refs are screwing GS".

Anyone complaining about this call while conveniently ignoring the myriad of other crap GS gets away with is an agenda-filled moron.

Not a foul, he got the ball first.

these threads.........

Thought it was a foul. They should of let GS have that last possession that got overruled to cancel it out.
Then again one could see it as payment for that horrible non-call on the Lebron arm slash last night.
I dunno its impossible to keep track of all the bad calls in this series.

[DoubleLintendre]

While GS has seen their share of favorable calls this post-season, this call is still a joke.

In no universe is this not a foul. Even if he touches the ball first, he ends up undercutting Steph and knocking him down. This is no different than when a defender reaches in and knocks the ball out of a handler's control but then hits his body with his following motion.

I disagree. They are much better at it. They do it almost every play.

I suspect this is going to be one of those threads where I see it from the reverse angle and I'm like WTF?

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.

it was not literally a tackle dude... are you sure you didn't mean to post this on the WNBA board?

Um wasn't there one point where Cleveland was up 3, in bounded and the refs almost gave the ball to the Warriors and let them inbound it without even reviewing. What a joke that was.

I don't see how you can even try to compare a no call slide tackle in open court to a reviewed out of bounds play that they ended up getting correct.

slide tackle. playing semantics and trolling doesn't change the fact that it was a blatant and dangerous foul that wasn't called in the final minute of the game

(the post of yours I quoted clearly says tackle, not slide tackle)

let's pan the camera further out and see the whole picture here.

the Warriors are getting outplayed by the superior team. just a few days ago people were saying the Warriors will pull off a sweep almost certainly, now we're over here complaining about weak ass no calls.

any way you slice it the Cavs are succeeding in the series. complaining about officiating is a useless endeavor at this point. the warriors have got to actually show up and play ball. maybe THEY should start tackling some.

If you call the clip I posted a weak ass no call then I think we are done here. Thanks for your input however.

Obviously it was a foul and a big play at that juncture in the game but you can't discuss anything without someone putting it in the context of going "omg ur biased" or "the refs have been calling more fouls for team x all series", which makes discussion everything pretty lame.

[LesGrossman]

Because the refs cheat Lebron ! They give the warriors everything and never give the cavs anything !

...which is why the cavs shot 40 free throws, compared to 25 for the warriors. Wake up. NEVER has a Lebron team not been favored by the officiating since he first stepped on an NBA floor. Its part of the agenda. Lebron himself in particular can commit murder on offense and not be called for it, but at times they let him get away with that kind of "defense" and praise how he covers everyone from 1 to 5 afterwards. Do you remember how he TRIED to give a foul vs. the Bulls (which was a mistake since they had none to give) and hacked D-Rose in front of the ref and still no call? Or the legendary no call when he hacked Paul George? There will be bad calls and statistically they will evenly distribute but when one guy gets away with it all the time (18 games without a single foul called on him?) its gettin a bit obvious.
