Warrior fans complaining about that call should be the least of their worries.

This slow mo replay of the Lebron slide is good: https://streamable.com/n6zq
By the rules it's a foul, but by NBA finals standards I think they are hesistant to call that. Plus it being LeBron gives him 13.15% protection against calls.
That Iggy rake across LeBrons arm in OT was so blatant with a referee standing 2 feet away, should've been called everytime no matter what.
Anyways no point bringing up missed ref calls, both teams getting reffed terribly and IMO cavs are getting screwed more.

Bro, how about all those missed calls on the Cavs. It's pointless to bring out just one foul when there are many others the need to be brought up too.

Just like Cleveland fans have. OK, sure.

How are these not moving screens? And what about Lee clearly hooking and holding Shumperts leg in this play:

Cmon now, calls get missed on both sides. GS is in NO way being robbed, they are being out played.

Nice job by David Lee there.
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."

Re: How is this LeBron James tackle not a foul?
It's been a physical series and I've seen a bunch of blown calls for both teams. Some biased views on this board. There's no conspiracy just bad reffing.
Come on now you can't slide into people regardless of if you hit the ball first. Lebron also gets hit and scratched all day, but it's not like Delly ( who has gained a fan, that man got heart) isn't grabbing jersey while fighting though illegal screens.
It's the finals I don't want them to call everything, but damn the inconsinstancy is annoying. Either way it's a great series and the Cavs have earned these last 2 wins. Hoping for 7 games.

Sorry, but it's hysterical to me that Warriors fans who were on here talking about how they were going to whoop on Cleveland just a couple of days ago are now crying because it turns out their team is unable to win games if they don't get to run non-stop.
If the W's are such a good team, maybe they should stop complaining and start playing like it.

It goes both ways, we all know that. But that's not a reason to not answer THIS question. Is it?

I don't hear any Warriors players complaining.

It should have been a foul, but calling it a tackle is really making you sound whiny. He clearly fell.

I think the general consensus among fans of all teams about Tony Brothers is that the dude is flat out bad at his job.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

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.
LOL i live in SD but this is hilarious

Agreed, I was just referring to a specific thread made before the end of G2. Fishbrother should be cut from reffing

Eh they owed Lebron that one even if he did foul. I've never seen a superstar getting fouled so blatantly by defenders without getting a call.
