What I can't stand about the game of basketball today. In the rules, you have to be set to set a screen, and the guy with the ball dribbles around the screen. Instead. Lebron is holding the ball at the 3pt line. Iggy is on him. JR smith runs up to Iggy, puts his arms out like a football olineman and pushes Iggy 10ft away causing Steph to switch out on Lebron, Then lebron starts dribbling and drives.

WTF is that. And they do it almost every time.

its like people just forget how important that shot is lol

+10

It kills me to hear the whole "the three point shot is better than mid range twos". Especially on THIS board!

By doing that, you've just discounted Larry Bird and Paul Pierce's game! SMDH

Refs getting complacent. Pure BS. Superstar rules though.

well this is arguably the most important stretch besides the four quarter. these 7 or so minutes will really dictate how these teams come out of the locker room

omg. The refs actually called JR smith for the crap. That time he did it and took out 2 guys. IT"S NOT BASKETBALL AND SHOULD BE CALLED EVER TIME. I"m ok when they miss moving screens. KG did it all the time. But they were both moving. JR just clears stationary guys out.

They finally called JR for that ****. It's so stupid because it hasn't been allowing GS to go under Lebrons screens like they want to

Steph Curry needs to find a way to impact the game without wanting to hit halfcourt 3's. Get some fouls, go inside, break down the defense..come on man.

Draymond doesn't really like to get blamed for a series loss. Making up for his stupidity in game 4.

Imagine if we had drafted Draymond Green instead of Fab Melo.
