2019 NBA Finals Predictions - Warriors vs Raptors

Warriors about to light it up tomorrow, I'll check the final score, I dont watch Sportz

Someone's mad the fakers didnt make the play offs

One thing I thought about the other day: reffing golden state must be impossibly hard.

I mean, with a normal team like the raptors, where you got one superstar, you give the star the benefit of the doubt, and ref the rest of the team normal. As in, leanord gets calls no one else on the team does.

But with golden state, the whole starting lineup is superstars, when they're fully healthy. How do you ref that!? How do you give the superstars the benefit of the doubt, when they're ALL superstars, while still reffing a balanced/fair game for the other team?

For example, there were a number of times lowry and vanvleet got bumped in game 3, where, if it was steph that got bumped that same way, it'd be a foul. The superstar bias is there in every nba game, and it usually works out, since both teams typically only have one superstar. Golden state really complicates the whole unspoken system of superstar reffing. Refs must hate reffing them. Especially not being abke to give green technicals, even though he's howling every other play (however, he's been surprisingly more tame this series, relatively).

The series isnt over .

Tried to go to Chilis , apples bees and buffalo wild wings to watch the game but people were waiting for seats

just place this thead in the hip hop section, not enough trafic going on here

Good to hear

The jokes on twitter about the four person guitar during the canadian anthem are hils. Wtf was that thing?

Watching the start of the game at a fancy restaurant so the sound is muted.

You're ugly and fat and have never had a girl friend, take an L and a c**k while you're at it

Nobody is even watching these finals , dubs already have 3 rings, Curry remains the goat , who gives a f**k, warriors have been in 5 nba finals, so what if they lose two

Can anyone that watched the game explain that one foul not being a clear path foul to me?

For all Raptors games (even the nba finals), canadian broadcasting makes it so all canadians get the biased raptor commentators, as opposed to getting to hear the normal tnt commentators. So maybe the normal commentators had something to say about that play i didnt get to hear. Because the biased raptos commentators couldn't figure out why it wasn't a clear path foul. Lowry (and I think danny green) were both way ahead of the foul when it happened.

Isn't that a very obvious clear path foul???

Ball is ahead of the tip of the circle in the backcourt. No defender is ahead of the offensive player with the transition scoring opportunity. Player with the transition scoring opportunity is in control of the ball (or a pass has been thrown to him) The foul deprives his team of an opportunity to score.

You clearly don't know the rule and might want to work on your reading comp. It's not a cherry picking foul.
