Oh well. I expected the Cavs to get embarrassed in a blowout, so it could be worse. Some questionable calls down the stretch and an all-time dumb play by JR. Even Skip Bayless is tired of the Warriors act. 

 

I don’t like Skip’s takes normally but I agree with him on this.  Thompson and Durant don’t really bother me but Draymond and Curry are ridiculous.

Glad they got the block/charge call right. That wasn't even remotely close to being a charge.

Sure Entertaining for a series that shouldn't even be close...  not saying, just saying.

Moving + not squared to the offensive player = block, I thought

Two most unlikeable players I've watched in any sport. I really don't know how players have resisted swinging at them for so long.

Could say that its poor leadership that they dont know

No way. This isn't little league baseball where the whole team needs to remind the outfielders to move 10 feet to the right when a lefty comes up. Smith is a 14 year veteran. The rest of his teammates all knew what the score was, evidenced by them all being completely dumbfounded by his decision making.

Draymond had a crap game and then has the nerve to get in Tristan Thompson's face over a nothing foul. Pretty sure Thompson told him to meet him in the tunnel, and I hope he did.

Not the whole teams job but sure would have been helpful. But either way it is the coaches job.

The score is plastered every five feet in an NBA arena. Smith checked out mentally and it likely cost his team the game. Simple as that.

Curry is an arrogant, cocky, POS, little pipsqueak.  
 
Can’t stand his attitude.  
 
You imagine the hatred for LeBron if he shimmied all over the damn court after everything he did well?  

Can't agree more with everything in this post.

You can be moving. Have to have legal guarding position.

I'm still not sure how Tristan Thompson got ejected? That was the most bizarre ejection I've ever seen. Meanwhile, Draymond (and I like the energy he plays with) prances around the court for 5 minutes and trash talks the entire game and complains after every call. No player, besides possibly LeBron's complaining, has more freedom with referees.

I enjoy watching GSW play and honestly they have helped to renew my interest in the NBA. But, after watching the playoffs this year I gotta think this is made for tv.

Posibly LeBron? Lol, okay. Dude ran around the court for 2 minutes acting like a 5 year old when he got his first foul call last night and never got anything said to him. LeBron is the biggest complainer in the sport, that anyone would suggest another player compares is hilarious

Calm down...I said LeBron and Draymond are probably top 2. No need to freak out. Don't forget Draymond blatantly poked LeBron in the eyes full speed and then cried for 5 minutes last night and proceeded to call Lebron very foul names. 

[Aaron 4,566]

Lebron has idiots for teammates. Period. No wonder he will likely leave Cleveland after this offseason. Guy is one of the greatest of all time and literally has no one around him who can play well right now.

How do they have a top two payroll with this team?  I personally think Tristan Thompson’s agent did him a solid with that deal.  In all seriousness the Cavs wish they had someone like an Ainge that would tell Paul no.  In spite of him reminding them who his other client is.  There is a reason they have no money.  There is a reason they aren’t able to sign anyone.  It’s not Lebron on the court that caused this team.  It’s also why it’s never a good idea to mix business with friendship, IMO.  Lebron has no help on the court due to this.  I mean in a world where Thompson gets 5 yr/$82 mill that’s insane.    Paul is an excellent agent.

I think this was well said. I don't think the poor roster was directly constructed by LeBron like he was the GM as some state, but his friendship with TT and Paul certainly lobbied for JR and TT getting absurd contracts. They dug themselves into a hole, and now have very little liquidity for the off season. 

[mdn82 26,344]

That’s insane.

I love what Klay and Steph do on the floor. No one has stepped up to stop them and those two skinny short dudes are gonna shimmy there way to another Championship. Those dudes are having the most fun and dominating while doing it. It's honestly hilarious watching grown men get so upset by shimmies haha.
