re: Kerr speaking the truth

This cuts both ways. I said it last night but when the ESPN replay came up I saw what could of easily been 2-4 fouls that Lebron committed within about a 5 minute span that weren't called. The sort of ticky tac stuff others were getting called more regularly as the game proceeded. Lebron in spite of that didn't get his first foul until half way through the second quarter. Yet that was absolutely NOT the first time he committed a foul. The reffing was inconsistent and disproportionate last night. Both teams have been getting away with physicality all series. Not just the Warriors. But depending on the night the officials have just randomly called some players for ticky tac stuff while letting way more egregious stuff go almost constantly.

It most certainly does cut both ways. Like the phantom and 1 curry got when he drove to the basket and was not touched in the 3rd quarter. Or the missed backcourt on the warriors in the 3rd quarter. Or the blatant hacking green gets away with the entire game.

You can bitch about the calls on curry being ticky tack all you want. The fact is they were ALL fouls, and 2 of them occurred more than 30 feet from the basket when it was just he and one other player. Those fouls get called, period.

Watch Iggy go for steals, then watch Curry. Iggy is an elite defender, and knows when to do t and when not to. And he errs on the side of caution, often missing on purpose if he realizes the swipe will look bad. Curry doesn't do it like that most of the time.

Deflect much? What does that retarded flop have to do with the stupid point you were attempting to make in your last post, that Kerr calling out james is the same thing as James calling out green? Are you so biased that you can't see the difference? Or just not intelligent enough?

Also, what you just posted would be akin to me finding a gif of varejao flopping and me using that to say steph curry is a terrible shooter.

The frick up was calling out Steph, that might have been a huge mistake.

Steph has been shite this series considering the player he is. There is no way around that. You need to accept it

There is an intelligence deficit in this conversation but it certainly isnt on my end.

Its coming from the guy that is so co-dependently defensive of Lebron that he can't see what was an obvious strategic/lobbying statement that pretty much every commentator from Cleveland to Oakland acknowledged was likely a partial motivation behind his statements.

Which is exactly what Kerr was doing last night. He didn't frick up, on the contrary, he just did what countless players and coaches have done before.

Taking certain stands in the media by making vocal, attention grabbing public criticism is a strategy used in every sport.

The notion you think the Flopping Queen of the league is above that sort of behavior is pathetically laughable.

This statement shouldn't be as funny as it is.

Oh really, that's where you think this "deficit" is coming from? Well that's interesting, because I've never once commented on what Kerr did or said in the post game. My only comment was towards the retarded notion that you offered, that calling out draymond green is the same thing as calling out Lebron James.

Go ahead and quote the post of mine that says this. Or even remotely implies it in any sort of way. I'll be waiting anxiously.

Kerr is being smart. Standing up for his players and simultaneously making a fuss about the officiating so next game no officials will dare call a lop sided game or want to be thought of as affecting the outcome of the game.

---

I've got a sneaky suspicion game 7 will be sloppy AF and they'll let them get away with murder like they did in one of the earlier games this series.

Which is exactly what Kerr is hoping as well and why in part he made the statement he did.

Kerr had no choice IMO. While I don't think Kerr is right, I understand why he did it. First he's trying to make a point and the league has shown they'll take notice in the past when a coach goes on a rant. Second, and more importantly IMO, is the fact that Kerr is trying to deflect attention away from his star players because they've had a rough week. They've been punched in the mouth and haven't responded well on or off the court, so part of his outspokenness is designed to shield them while they circle the wagons for Game 7.

I think ReauxTide is over the top with all of his comments about it and he's just enjoying the LeBron resurgence. Give him a pass.
