I would, but we're so tight he has me on ignore.

I said it last season and I say it now, the way to beat GSW is to hit them in the mouth.

Green hints at unusual Game 4 officiating: 'There was more going on out there'
https://www.thescore.com/news/1316737

There aren't many players I dislike more than Draymon Green

I shouldn't let it bother me, but it does bother me that they are complaining about the officiating. Unreal!

I thought the officiating in game 4 was suspect to say the least. AND, I am a Cavs fan! I mean...if GSW want to complain lets also reverse the lens and look at how they also benefitted. Prime example: why the hell was that 2nd technical that should have booted Green out but then it was somehow changed to a technical on Kerr? Explain. More so than any major sport I think the NBA is rife with officiating controversy and bias.

The refs were horrible all around Friday. Both teams got screwed multiple times.

I felt like the officiating was horribly biased the first two. The Warriors were challenging every shot with contact, which is fine, but every shot we challenged they called ticky tack fouls.

It kind of reminded how the officiating was ehen Lebron was in Miami. Every time I team started to get up or started to make a run at a Mami lead they would get 3 or 4 calls against them in a row to kill their momentum. But when Miami had a comfortable lead then all of a sudden they would give the opponent enough calls to make the stats look legit.

this next game is the big one IMO ... it's going to be the toughest game for us to win

I wonder what the odds of Draymond getting T'd up at all in Oakland are ganna be, regardless of what he does.

IF we win the next one, anybody feel a 2nd comeback becomes probable? We'd have game 6 at home and then, anything happens in game 7.

It's no secret we have the talent, we just have to (once again) live up to it.

I'm honestly worried that with our first win coming after an increase of intensity.

That the refs in Game 5 try to "rein in" the intensity.

I would spend the entire first quarter driving the lane. Forcing contact. Find out how the refs are ganna run it.

Also. I would be constantly driving at Green. Try to get calls on him (and reactions from him)

But that is the problem, we let the refs take us out of our game. We need to be tough and physical. I am not saying cheap or dirty but hard-nosed, and in their faces and pushing the envelope of the rules. They are soft, they will fold

Kinda feel bad for whomever refs game 5.

No matter what they do.

It will be wrong.

I think our intensity was great in game 3. We had a nice lead and things just broke the wrong way at the end of the game. It was a tough loss in so many respects.

cfrs mentioned that the officiating was bad for both teams in the last game. I agree w/that, but they are complaining. We are not complaining. That's the difference.

Also, in games 1 and 2, the officiating was clearly in favor of GS. And I am not the type to criticize officiating. My posts on the Brown's game day forum attests to that.

I'm worried that the officiating is going to favor GS big time tonight. I don't know how many of you played competitive bb, but man, it can make a huge difference. I was a PG in high school, and we would play Canton McKinley [a state power at that time] at their place. Every time up the court, they would be hip checking me, holding one arm and chopping across my body at the ball w/the other. No calls at all. Shoving you in the hips when you were in the air driving for a layup. No call. Making contact to your elbow on jumpers. They were not excessive fouls, but they threw you off because you knew that contact was always going to be there. On the other hand, you come close to them and it was a foul. GS got away w/similar tactics in those first two games. A lot of grabbing and reaching, while their shooters were awarded free throws for touch fouls.

I just hope to see the game called evenly tonight.

Golden State is certainly the darlings w/the media, but man, I don't think they are a likable team. Numerous hits to player's groins; constant whining to the officials; Durant bad-mouthing Westbrook all year; Klay calling LeBron a baby last year; and this tasteless act by Curry:

Refs screwed up last game with T foul.

Tonight will be homer central, I suspect. Call it all, we are in it. I suspect Green will set the bar pretty low.

Go, Cavs. Win one in Homerville!

If you look at Curry's past celebrations, it's pretty clear he was not taking a dump on the court.

That's because the Cavs won. If they had lost people would be going nuts over the Draymond thing for sure.

For what it's worth, I put the odds of a Cavs victory tonight at 25%. (1 out of 4 chance)

GSW has several players I would like to see get punched in the face... the only person I can say I really like is Steve Kerr.

Curry and Durant are both stick thin and go down with the slightest contact and almost always get the call because of it.. Draymond Green hasn't committed a single foul in the series yet (in his own mind), Zaza is a cheapshot artist rivaled only by Green... Iggy, Livingston, and even Klay aren't bad...

GO CAVS BEAT GS

Well, I stayed away from game 4, and we won. That means I can't watch game 5 either.

Hopefully I won't be able to watch a Cavs game till next season.

Same with me last year.

This is my thoughts exactly. Game I didn't watch, we lit it up. I'll continue to not watch with hopes of the same outcome lol.

One game at a time. Radio silence begins now.

Awww YTown. That's funny and sad at the same time. Whatever you do, I hope it works.

Me, I'm sticking w/the "No Surrender" thang. I'm saying it now and will again right before the tip. I'm also going to wear my wine colored athletic shorts and dark blue tank top tonight just like I did when we won the other night. I'm not talking online during the game except for maybe half time, just like the other night.

But hey, none of us are superstitious. LOL

I cant find my cavs gear, so Im not wearing it. Just like I didnt wear it last friday.

Eve's watching it naked?

This worked last time so.... LET'S GO CAVS!!!

I would watch naked if it meant we win lol

j/c:

Kryie gets a lot of grief and I hope I don't jinx him, but the dude reminds me of an assassin. He doesn't ever lose confidence or back down. He might not play well, but he has ice-cold blood and the moment is NEVER too big for him!

An obvious 'telepathy-based' cyber relationship - you don't even need to type!

i just wanted to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you

GO CAVS!!!
