I'm going to be so pissed when that happens. BTW, is it safe to assume that we're all going to be Warrior fans during the Finals?

Big time...Cleveland fans can talk all they want, but at the end of the day they're still Cleveland. Will never envy anything from that dumpster fire.

It is crazy to think how rigged the refs are compared to other sports.

Silver and the refs have made up their mind that the cavaliers have to win atleast one title soon, so here is them helping the cavaliers.

Throwing out horford was an absolute despicable call which cannot be covered up by the NBA. Delly is such a dirty player going for peoples legs and since he has lebron on his team, they (the refs and silver) just look the other way, its just officiating taking over the game and ruining the way the game is played.

Shouldn't the refs be on our side? I mean no matter how much the nba wants Lebron in the finals, it would be so much more profitable if this series went 5-7 instead of a sweep.

Hawks aren't going to win anyway, but regardless someone needs to take out Della. That was the definition of a sneaky attempt to hurt Horford. I can understand why he elbowed him. This angle makes it pretty clear the guy was throwing himself at Horford's leg when his momentum would otherwise have been arrested.

We really should have pulled the plug on Mack earlier.

Nope. Take out LeBron.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Lol, a loose ball foul for that...if that were a Hawk, it'd be a flagrant 2.

Lebron didn't do it. This isn't about using dirty tricks to win the game, that's bushleague stuff only teams like the Bad Boys pull, and which should (and is) cracked down on a lot. It's about sending a message that dirty play isn't acceptable, and if you do something that you know will have a high chance of injuring a guy then you should get taken out. I'm not talking 'try to injure" Della either, just clothesline him a few times when the game is over.

I'm in the baseball mindset. You purposely injure someone's best player, don't be surprised if your best guy gets injured as well.

Cavs fan here, just want to cordially offer the viewpoint that Horford is clearly pulling Dellavedova down by the arm, as Dellavedova is tripping over Carroll. I encourage you to look closely at around 44 seconds for the shot of Horford pulling on his arm, and Dellvedoa tripping over Carroll (as he is being dragged down by Horford) is cearly evident from any angle.

This is plain as day and I cannot believe that you are all so biased that you do not see this.

See Dellevedova...that is how you get a loose ball and not go after someone's ankle.

Delly did not mean to hurt Korver it was 2 unathletic white guys going for the ball. Delly Dove and Korver revered directions. The Horford flagrant 2 was a bad call should have been flag 1 at most and Delly did nothing wrong on that play. Lets not hope for injury for either team.
