Watch the refs go all out in this one.

First quarter and Curry and Thompson already with 2. Waiting for the Green ejection.

Edit: there we go. Tech 1 on Green.

The officiating has been atrocious, but the Warriors have looked completely out of sorts.

Still, I would rather they be out of sorts without the help of the refs. This looks like a Harden game with the free throw parade.

Cavs attempted 21 free throws in that first quarter. 12 fouls on the Warriors. A couple of very blatant flops by Shumpert.

Kyrie Irving dribbles it off his foot into the backcourt, no violation. Not even subtle at this point. :lol:

Yeah, Green wasn't helping himself with the "push" he attempted while recovering the ball though. Shumpert's theatrics reminds me of Bosh falling backwards after a slight graze from Boozer switching to a 3-way-threat stance. There certainly was more contact with Green than Boozer, but still a flop-- both of e'm slowly swung themselves backwards to embellish the contact.

Then before that with him grabbing Curry's arm during a fast-break, and flailing like a fish out of water. Ugh. He even appeared to look at the ref (or in his general direction) for a call. (N)

The refs aren't even trying to hide it....

So, does LeBron still "need help"? Looks like he's got some talent on that team after all.

Think about how much money is made by the league just by extending the series one or two games.

Btw, in general, 33 free throws were taken in the first quarter... WHAT! Talk about completely controlling a game. If there was any doubt if a game could be controlled, this proves it.

33 in one quarter... that should never happen.

Let them play!

That's basically what pisses me off. You're setting the tone by calling some of these fouls on one end but not on the other. Basically the Warriors can't breathe on the Cavs but the Cavs are dick punching them and calling it physical defense.

It's obvious the Warriors are going to chill on defense. Freaking 82 points in the first half. Come on...

Edit: Durant with the fuck you three to end the half. Man, I hope they come out and beat these guys and the league.

Remains to be seen if the Cavs are going to cool off in this one. Some ridiculous threes.

Regardless of which team is getting favored in any game, refs should not be impacting the game this much, ever. I would be equally pissed if the Warriors had shot 22 FREE THROWS in a quarter.

How in the world does a game get called like this? Oh yeah, because it's a business.

Pachulia can't even injure LeBron's ankle. That's how bad it's going for the Warriors right now.

Green originally hit with his second T, then it was changed. These has been some sloppy, sloppy officiating.

So now they've decided the tech in the first half was actually on Kerr. Scorer's table says otherwise.

Seriously, no one should be happy with the referees' performance in this one. This shouldn't happen in the NBA Finals...or any game for that matter, but especially when it's all on the line.

So Love got a flagrant for touching Durant's chin but Draymond gets a common foul for attempting a jumping DDT?

Yeah, I think these officials have just given up on trying to be logical or consistent.
