2017 NBA Playoffs Thread - CLE @ BOS Game 5 on TNT

[ballinsam23]

refs are ******ed I swear. just pick and choose what they wanna call

 

[sooperhooper]

refs just tryna cover the spread

That's what this is all about,but people sleep .

I watch for the exciting plays but there's obviously no integrity in pro sports.

 

[hardens beard]

What was the spread?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Turner had that steal clean. Smh Lebby refs

They didn't even show a replay smh, I wanted to see that again

Shump should get fined for that flop as well

Sigh.  Another  Lebron Finals. See ya'll in June, I can't do this anymore.

What was the spread?

Cle -7.5
Total 210

Total was off, but if you follow the odds, then you know that it's eerily accurate. Suspect/non calls don't happen arbitrarily. There's a science to it. Whenever there's a suspect call and no replay, I rewind it on the dvr to get another look. Sometimes absolutely nothing happens, but if challenged, the ref could probably defend his call by the letter of the law. MILLIONS of dollars are made within that grey area.

This isn't about fans enjoying good honest basketball, it's a show with a lot at stake, period.

How long before the league gets rid of this foul coming over the screen thing.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I still think Indy can make this a long series, Cleveland handled their business 

Also TOR/MIL and Washington should make for long series as well IMO

 

[nflowshoe]

So your down 6 with less than 10 seconds and Lebron has the ball and you don't foul? They acting like Lebron shoot 90% from the free throw line.....

Stop reaching over the screen and problem solved

This is honestly why FIBA is so refreshing to watch at times. Guys can play and not wonder what is and isn't a foul all the dang time.

Of course they wouldn't just like the commentators barely say anything lol

Damn, but not surprising. East first round for Lebby been like bye weeks for years

It'll be fun to see him go up against some much better comp this time around. They're going to be worn out by the time they face GSW

If at the beginning of each season I didn't believe that an Eastern team could defeat or at least humiliate Lebron in the playoffs, I'd probably stop watching NBA basketball.

Patty Mills really taking this Weeknd thing serious with the hair

Cake walk for Cavs

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Cavs really dodged that Chicago bullet. They never wanted first place once Chicago got the 8th seed

Looks like the Cavs shaved that game. Point spread was 6 1/2 and moved to 9 due to heavy action on the Cavs. Dudes made sure they didn't cover all spreads on that game.  

 

[hardens beard]

Memphis should probably go ahead and just forfeit the rest of this series

14 GM's can stop the man. They just can't. Never could.

ABOVE ALL. classic NT.

Bruh is Michael Redd going to be one of the only gold medalist and NBA all star to not make the HoF?
