LOL Tatum Making a rookie argument about the push in the back. Everyone does that to mess up the screener
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

Clear push my Tatum... how is anyone even questioning that play? Jeff Green lightly tapped him, there is no way his momentum carried him that far & directly into Hill.

He wasn't kicking his leg out. Yes his leg wasn't 100% vertical but he was jumping up to take a shot, legs do that.

It wasn't intentional, but it's a natural movement that the league I think is trying to curb, just like putting a foot into a player's landing space. Momentum can take you there in either case, but in this case it had unintended consequences, tripping up a defender, and so got called.


That is a stupid call, there is a difference if the defender is next to you and you are kicking to draw foul. Love wasn't close and Morris was taking almost a regular shot. That should be a no call period. so if guys like Curry etc are shooting a defender can just jump from 10 feet out and get an offensive foul call on them?

That's **** stupid, it's a bad call it happens.

Here LeBron we'll call the game tight so Boston can't play defense, an you can coast into 2 wins. Pathetic

Only league in the world with this stupid **** belief that a rookie doesn’t deserve to be reffed fairly.

All these whistles make it so damn obvious the refs are trying to throw this game to the Cavs. My God. WWE.

Just realized “Tony Brothers” is actually name of an individual referee, I’ve always thought it was all 3 referees last named Tony and they are brothers

Refs too freakin worried. Cavs will still win without them in this game. They need to swallow the damn whistle for once. Christ.

Yeah, and that wasn't blatant at all. That was the most subtle "kick" I've seen in my entire life.

I don't think it's about intent, but about the action itself, which the league is trying to curb. Same with the whole planting your foot into a player's landing space. You don't mean to injure, but it's the action itself, not it's intention, that is the foul.


Then you might as well call Steph's 3s an offensive foul like 80% of the time

that slight leg swaying motion is completely natural, or at least to me, since I don't shoot square up to the basket like many other guards

This is a vintage Stern-era ref job going on tonight (and I don't mean that they are rigging it for the Cavs, though they are getting the better end of the calls). Foster is going to get the game ball tonight.

Jackson and JVG are making it much worse than the refs could ever dream of. I’d rather have Gilbert Godfrey give the play by play than these bozos.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Sticking together doesn't negate the fact he's been garbage tonight.



That's exactly when you stick together is when someone is down.

Otherwise lets hope the rest of his teammates call him out publicly for being the reason why they lost......


You're aware I'm not one of his teammates, right?
