And the warriors still be the best team ever? What's wrong with calling it what it was. An all time great shooting performance when the 2nd best team in the NBA got insanely hot when there backs were against the wall at home. Doesn't mean it was rigged, doesn't mean the warriors won't still win the series or that it isn't the greatest team ever assembled (it is).

That's exactly what it was, but this Board lack logic and wants a deeper angle. For people that hate First Take and Undisputed, they sure try to emulate those shows

The Cavs were insanely hot, but the officiating was just plain awful. Does that mean it was rigged? Nope.

but it certainly fuels the fire of your conspiracy theorists for your officials to perform that poorly on a stage with so many casual eyes watching. The Cavs didn't need the refs help last night but its tough to say they didn't get it, intentional or not.

If so, the Refs did a really poor job rigging it since GS shot more free throws, and the biggest gaffe of the game went in GS's favor as well, the Draymond technical fiasco.

The warriors choked in the Finals. They have a history of choking in Finals.

Then explain walking back Green's ejection. They knew they head gone too far, and that shite wouldn't fly

I can't fathom shooting anything near what Cleveland did as a team last night. I don't care about the officiating because you can't beat a team that shoots 53% from three. Was amazing with 45 attempts.

Cavs 53% 3 pt shooting.
Warriors 20-something from 3.

Nothing else mattered.

Make or miss league as they love to say when they don't want to give a real answer.

And not to mention how they treated KD getting tapped in the head vs Tristan getting obliterated by Draymond

I would have loved to see Draymond and Rodman play against each other. The Malice in the Palace wouldn't be nearly as impressive as seeing them start a fight with 20,000 fans. No groins would be safe from their flailing limbs.

Let's pretend that their 49 points weren't aided by 22 FT attempts in the 1st qtr. TWENTY-TWO!!!

And we know the thuggish reputation that the Warriors have. So 22 FTs against them is about right. IN THE FIRST DAMN QTR!!!!

Its not even questionable that the refs were instructed to be exceptionally favorable to the Cavs

The nonsensical 2nd technical on Green, yet Lebron can slam the ball and not get one? The back court non-call ? The fast break foul on Curry? The obvious LeBron tip out of bounds?

It was a joke

Agree. Also when Andre I. got elbowed there was no outrage but few plays later they went crazy over Draymond

Probably the greatest team you've seen in the four years you've been watching the NBA.

Name another team that has 4 all stars in their starting 5. They've got the no.2 and no.3 players in the world on the same team.

The cavs were on fire. Would have won either way. But the refs were awful.

Warriors got a ton of good looks that just didn't fall. It happens

It's not the greatest team ever assembled.

Why do people keep saying this?

Are the Warriors going to have 5 HOFers on this team when it's all said and done? No.

Know your history, other NBA great teams that also steamrolled through the playoffs HAD 5 HOFers!

NBA wasn't invented 5 years ago.

There have been some pretty awesome collection of teams with more renowned and better players that we're better than the Warriors in a non-watered down League.
