Are Cs fans allowed to complain about reffing? Did they all skip the Miami series?

Kerr doesn't play any stupid rotations, Jordan Poole shows up, the Warriors don't give up 3s and look at that, an easy win.

I love Wilbon as a commentator. I feel like ESPN found something good with this crew.

I've always had the theory that some players cannot win a championship. Like, you could put them on the Dream Team in the gold medal match against Angola, and they'd lose. Tracy McGrady. DeMarcus Cousins. Is Castillo among them? The theory is being put to the test as we speak, my friend.

I always felt like Melo, CP3 and Harden were doomed to never get a ring. Chris Paul almost pulled it off last year. Melo is confirmed cursed and I feel like Harden will only win one as a bench player way past his prime.

I expect more from Sauce Castillo. His towel waiving is top-tier.

For GSW if any two of the three Splash brothers are hitting shots, they find ways to roll. Sort of a release valve off of Curry. If all three are going, watch out.

We have a series.


What's really crazy is that there's a post floating around where I simmed a 2K14 game before a game against the Heat and it predicted Horford and Smart having 2 points each for the game. Must've gotten my wires crossed: wrong series. I'd link it, but I don't know how to wade through the 100+ pages in that thread.

Fellow boston fans, no complaining about refs. Boston has to oaky better and stop being so sloppy.

Just awful play from PGs.

Yeah, I'm real cautious with that label, but Melo is a prime candidate, for sure.

Draymond humping Smart in the face
Draymond humping Horford in the face
The refs deciding to not eject Draymond after he kicked Brown in the face
Draymond being an offensive lineman and clearing a path for his Curry to shoot.

That is when the game turned. The **** reffing in the first half forced the Celtics to play extremely soft defense in the second half. To the Warriors credit they took advantage of the fact that the refs were creating space for them on offense, and allowing them to body, reach and grab on defense.

Casual (and naive) fans will look at the score and think the Warriors dominated. Are the Warriors really 30 pts better than the Celtics? No. The Celtics were neutered in this game. The NBA did the W's a solid, I expect them to return the favor when the C's are in a must win. This will go 7.

In my opinion, James Harden ain't ever gonna be a bench player way past his prime. He's gonna be like Melo.

Which is why he will probably never get a ring. I just see that as the way he could get one.
