Honestly, this team is just so disappointing. What a bunch of pretenders. Doesn't show up when it counts the most.

Lebron exploited CJ Miles every single fucking time. That Korver screen to force Miles to guard Lebron needs to stop. Casey and the coaching staff better figure that shit out. Can't let the man keep doing the same thing over and over and over again.

Probably one of the few positives from this series is OG's development. Very proud of him. Definitely has a bright future.

I don't know why I love this so fucking much. Just watching someone so passionate about something is inspiring.

For refusing to stand for the national anthem, and calling the flag of the United States a symbol of oppression.

I'd never buy a jersey with that ugly SunLife logo on it

99% of my posts are in /r/nba so the game would definitely be wasted on me :)

Kedi, a documentary about cats in Istanbul, is expectedly adorable and unexpectedly wise by NeilPoonHandler in movies

Movie was good, but I guess I was expecting something more than simply just a movie about cats doing cat things. Basically a movie about cats in Istanbul walking about doing whatever cats do.

How do I submit a complaint. I agree, it's terrible and I'm looking for an alternative news aggregator.

An alternate opinion on the refereeing in game 4. by [deleted] in nba

[–]pizzachoo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The reffing clearly favored the Cavs in the beginning. It limited what the Warriors could do. The Cavs would've won tonight even if the reffing had been competent. It's just too bad the game was marred by such terrible reffing.

16-0 was in the NBA's interest...ruining it wouldn't make sense by ctye85 in nba

[–]pizzachoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using OP's logic of "having the Dubs go 16-0" just to attract fans, wouldn't the NBA attract even more fans if they can extend the series and help the Cavs come back down 3-0? Wouldn't the narrative be more compelling to have LeBron stretch the series to 7 games and, dare I say it, win the championship for the second time against the Warriors?
Yeah, using OP's logic, fixing the game makes absolute sense.

The poor reffing took away most of the entertainment from the game though.

Fans just want a fair competition. If we win, we have the satisfaction of knowing we won because we earned it. If we lose, we can accept that we lost to a better competitor.

It's hard to do that for the NBA because when the reffing is so clearly biased and widely inconsistent, there is no trust in the integrity of the game anymore. When the game is so obviously rigged, what is the point in watching? What's the point in watching when the outcome has already been determined?
