The Warriors are both the softest team and the dirtiest team in NBA history. They are half Care Bear, half Ric Flair.

Fire up the Excuso-mometer!

Last season: GS was lucky Cavs weren't healthy.
This season: GS was lucky the refs weren't making the calls and Green is dirrrrrrrrrrrrty.
Next season: GS is lucky Lebron is no longer in his prime.

Don't forget the annoying "b-b-but, these Warriors are nowhere near as good as the (fill in the favorite team of your choice, usually the 1996 Bulls)."

I can agree with that. They were putting Curry on the ground with some of those drives. It's not Laimbeer and Mahorn, but it was in that direction.

Of course you're being sarcastic, but it should be mentioned that the Warriors were anything but soft in game 4, as they matched the Cavs tit for tat.

It should also be mentioned that no one takes as much roughing up off the ball as Curry does.

The bottom line is that the cavs are not the better team. They are in second-rate east coast and it shows.

Funny how bron steps over a guy intentionally and then complains he got punched in the balls. Really? How about he apologize for stepping over the guy? Or man up and call it even, like the refs did.

I'm glad they were not calling everything... they let it play on, like a real game should. Bron should have just powered himself to the rim and found where they were calling charges and the like.

He's been playing long enough to know when the refs are "letting them play". He is not a dummy... he could not turn it into a benefit for him.

He was playing a better team. Period.

At least he did not get cramps.

Report: Kevin Love laments his effort is 'never enough' | FOX Sports

Quote:
Love reportedly told Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com that he's confused by all of the backlash he's received:

Why does public sentiment turn on him as soon as the Cavs stumble?

"Why do you think?" Love said, answering a question with a question. "You're part of it. I'm not saying you're who does it, but you are there with the people that do ...

"I don't know how to answer it because, I have a couple bad games last series [against Toronto], tough games, and have to come back and do whatever I needed to do to help the team. Still, it's just never enough."

Yeah, Yahoo is really hyping up the phantom punch trying to get Green suspended. One could easily argue James was provoking him by trying to assert dominance by walking over him like that, but I guess it's all about perception and Draymond is under a microscope.
