Suspend Curry imo

Q) Was the second foul on Curry early in the game a fair enough call?

i felt that was more a charging foul from james than a blocking foul...

The narrative on LeBron is pretty hilarious, especially on #BlackTwitter. Everyone hated him, called him a bitch etc for a decade and now a light skin is being called better than him and all of them suddenly love LeBron. Find it especially hilarious because it's so obviously transparent.

Cavs lobbied so hard behind the scenes to get Draymond suspended, wonder how hard they're going to lobby to try and get Curry suspended.

re: Curry. 6th "foul" wasn't a foul but it was still dumb from Curry, and LeBron played it perfectly. Made sure he came down on Curry's back to get the call. Home court advantage has been huge in this game imo.

 

[Anil]

started as a blowout and ended as one...who here thinks the cavs would be the favorites going into game 7? james in this form can certainly steal one more on the road...

 

[Pratters]

May not be nice but Curry should be suspended for that. No two ways about it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

LeBron is so ridiculously good with the media haha. Sager baited him so hard about Steph there and all he did was praise him and all of Warriors guys. Meanwhile Ayesha Curry out here on Twitter calling the NBA rigged at the same time and Steph throwing his mouth guard at Dan Gilbert's son haha. Warriors with a massive heel turn in these playoffs, started in the OKC series and continuing here in the finals.

Would be floored if Steph was suspended. Maybe if it was a regular season game, not in G7 of the finals.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Really want them to win this now. Has a 4-3 win from 3-1 down ever happened?

 

[Pratters]

Has never happened OS.

After 6 games the cumulative score is Cleveland 610 vs Golden State 610.

kerr ripping into the refereeing in his conference..., he knows he is getting a fine but clearly doesn't care...i don't think curry's was a suspension-worthy offense...if they do suspend him, it will be like gifting cleveland the championship before game 7 starts...

 

[Pratters]

Is it acceptable to throw mouthpieces at fans?

 

[Spikey]

depends on whether the fan deserved it

 

[Anil]

Is it acceptable to throw mouthpieces at fans?

i doubt if he aimed it deliberately at anyone...threw it out of frustration and it hit a fan...they can fine him or something but taking the league mvp out of the game 7 of the nba finals would be an extreme step...

 

[Pratters]

In game 7, injuries on each team will play a big part. A few players from each side aren't up to their best physically. Curry has had injuries this season, for instance.

 

[Pratters]

Kerr needs to shut up btw. Said he was glad Curry threw the mouth piece apparently. The heel turn of GS is complete.

what injuries? bogut's injury will not decide the nba finals...is there any other impact player in either team's current rotations that is injured? obviously they are all tired and banged up after a long season and an exhausting playoffs but this is what they have been playing for all year, if needed, pure adrenalin will carry them through the final game...

 

[Pratters]

Yeah, I meant tired and banged up. Yeah, obviously their talent and adrenaline will carry them through but the players/team which is less banged up will have at least that advantage.

uhhhhh Iguodala? Hurt his back in this game, had treatment multiple times. Could barely walk all game, was basically a turnstile on defence and couldn't jump at all. Without him to guard LeBron they are done.

 

[Ikki]

Schadenfreude, I know, but I hope Iggy's back really is that bad. Cavs need that to win IMO.
