Anyone else think officiating was terrible tonight?

[FuFuLamePoo]

Golden State is going to The Finals.

i mean Houston IS missing 60% of their starting lineup

[FuFuLamePoo]

It wouldn't matter. Even with a struggling Klay, Curry and Green handled a surging Harden and bench. Imagine had Thompson actually been on the money tonight too. The Warriors would have scored 130.

imaging if Hou had Bev d'ing up Curry and had Moti and DH12 in the front court instead of fuging josh smith and clint Capela

And imagine if Andre Iguadola played like an old first team defense player. Imagine if David Lee played like an all-star. Imagine if Andrew Bogut could play more than 15 weak ass garbage minutes a game.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry christmas.

I fugs with Harrison barnes

And imagine if Andre Iguadola played like an old first team defense player.

he is playing like an old first team defense player. He was a first team defense player IN THE PAST (old). He no longer is a first team defense player, so therefore is is playing like an old first team defense player

The Cavs needed LBJ and LBJ needed the rest of the guys. I love LBJ. I just wish that with him being the best player in the league, he wouldn't need to have so many guys surround him.

He would never had win in Miami without Wade and Bosh. Now, he's with Kyrie and Love and still needed more help. The Cavs would probably be out of the playoffs already if it weren't for Iman and JR.

No superstar has ever won without talent around them. Even Jordan. The bulls had over 50 wins and were 1 game away from the ECF the year jordan took off when he was playing baseball.. LeBrons cavs before he left had about the same team minus him that 1st year in miami, and went from over 60 wins to 19. So yes, Jordan did have talent, and he had more than LeBron had surrounding him his 1st go around in cleveland for sure, which is why I hate how people say he should've stayed and played on that poo team he had.

And also James Harden as a smooth game, not boring at all to watch imo. He has so much sauce

Just like "Trade 5 and 13 to move up to 3" in 2005, I've never seen anything that says a deal like this was ever on the table.

I'm 90% sure it was an option.  It was clear by that summer OKC was ready to move on from Harden and they weren't gonna be able to agree to a deal.  LOOK AT WHAT THEY TRADED HIM FOR (NOTHING)!!!!!  I really think they would have taken the second pick and ran with it, I remember reports said they really wanted Beal

We've been beaten down by enough bad luck as it is, the last thing our psyche needs is regret from trade proposals that never existed.

It's stuff like this that makes the nba look like a joke. Harden flops a half dozen times a game easy but they fine Curry for a play where there wasn't even a foul called. Just what the hell is the criteria for a fine when I've seen far worse flops in every single game of the playoffs.

[Montsta]

James Harden lives at the line from his flailing flops. That may or may not have been a flop by Steph but at least he doesn't get up arguing the no-call every single gotdamn time.
