Wow good call Refs on Love he moved out of the way and Tatum gets the call......wow that was so bad even announcers said it was phantom call and now Love is forced out of the game because of it.

the worst part of this, is that this is simple behaviorism. NBA refs have to be the absolute worst parents. Kid doesn't get what he wants, he pouts and whines, and they give in immediately.

well, listening to the commentators for this game, maybe all the Celtics fan were right. Maybe Tatum is the best player ever....

 
Morris is an idiot.  Why fire up the other team like that when up 20?  Some guys are just #### stupid.

Refs probably talking about throwing a guy out of the game for pushing the guy half as hard as he just got pushed while vulnerable in the air.  Love it.

Cavs should have won more regular season games.  Not going to win a game in Boston.

it is the m.o. of the playoffs. My guess is the Warriors won't have to deal with the same shenanigans, but yes Cavs need an almost perfect game to overcome the "mysteries of Boston garden"

Sp Baynes falls down, Lebron in the area, foul.  

Worst call of the series was when Morris hit that three last game and they called an offensive foul.  Hilarious

I'm watching it again with coffee and without company and audio. Harden worked hard on defense throughout this game. His defensive energy, steals and blocks to close the half changed the tone of the game. What at one point looked like a laugher for the home team was suddenly a problem. From Chris's 3 tying the game at 44 with 2 minutes to go, to another of his 3s giving Houston a 10 point lead with a minute to go, it was Harden's defense was making a mess of the Warriors. He was sick on offense most of the quarter too. The half ended with Harden swatting Curry's shot out of bounds and both teams walking off the court with completely different attitudes. Without that defensive effort to close the half, the third quarter onslaught probably would have given us another blowout. I have two thoughts this morning that I thought I was past. One, this is how these teams looked for big stretches of the season and why Houston has home court. They work harder and play a little better if not quite as talented. Two, I have no idea who I expect to win this series, but it could be epic. The possibility of the Dubs backs to the wall in Houston for a game 7 championship game makes me giddy.

Carriage return, GB. 

 
So what I have noticed in this series is that if you flail around you get the call.  Just like George Hill just did. 

Guys that trip on their own feet get bailed out by the refs calling a foul on someone from the D.

That would be my halftime strategy.  "Hey guys, just keep falling down and flailing your arms every play".

WHich movie, the Pelican Brief?  Yes, that was me. 

Just how hard does someone need to hammer Lebron to get called for a foul?  On the flip side, he has had several phantom calls go his way in the series.  It is just so, so bad both ways.

If you were in this thread earlier this year you would have seen the post that Kev made, I believe it was him. That the refs have never been better at any time in sports. So forgive me if I and many others in this thread don't want to hear your constant whining from your couch about the refs when you have no clue how to do their job or how hard it is. Your insight on these fouls is the equivalent of me going to have foot surgery done by a construction worker.

Well, he is wrong.  It is so, so bad right now.  Not even the remotely slightest hint of what constitutes a foul and what constitutes not being a foul.  Zero consistency in any of it.  Both ways.  Both teams are getting hosed on a regular basis.  

If you are saying that the refs are the best they have ever been because they screw up equally both ways, then I guess ya got me there.

The looked at it with science and stuff and they get like 94% right or something.  I assume this doesn't take travelling into account.

 
Have to say calling these games in real time is crazy hard considering the speed of these athletes. Now in a 6th grade travel game I'm not giving you that kind of slack but in the pros they get it, not an easy gig.
