It's not sport anymore. It's entertainment. Players of the past must laugh at what the NBA has become. Then again this is the only way Cleveland can win anything. Does Vince Mcmahon have stock in this tom foolery?

There were quite a few suspect foul calls. What about Love's 3rd foul? That wasn't anywhere near close to a foul and it put Love back on the bench and GS on the foul line after a good stop by the Cavs.

Ref wasn't waving his arms and blowing his whistle until that contact. The first strip attempt was quite a bit earlier.

Cavs jumped all over Golden State with such ferocity in the first quarter, the game was pretty much over at that point. A couple of coaching blunders and mental lapses got the Warriors within striking range but that was dealt with.

Speaking of soccer,I watched the match after the game. The red card suspensions have pretty much eliminated the u s. Not that they were going to beat Argentina anyway but this really limits their chances.

The "best" team in basketball should never go down by 20 points the first quarter. GS had no chance last night.
Officiating has been horrible and inconsistent. Refs should just call the fouls. When the players learn the refs aren't going to allow a slugfest then they will play basketball.
I still like high school basketball better -- palming the ball, traveling, or hand-checking not allowed. Players driving to the basket in a congested lane usually get to the foul line.

Harrison Barnes has been as bad, or worse, than Love.

I thought he played great. For the Cavs that is.

The points by themselves are impressive but it's also the facilitating, defending, rim protection, rebounding-- the total package.
Shooting has never been one of his greatest strengths but at times like these when he's got his outside shot going well he's essentially unstoppable.

Yeah, but Shumpert was great for the Warriors.

Game 6 was a mirage. Sunday will be Judgement Day, and we will judge the quick and the dead. RIP Cavs.

Hopefully, this game will live up to expectations!
Cavs have momentum. That is a huge advantage for Cleveland and very dangerous to GS.
