True. It did happen. But racial profiling? This bitch is getting annoying pretty fast. He fit the description of a man who they were looking out for. He showed his ID/credentials and everything was fine. Issue resolved.

How do you rig the NBA Finals to ensure a game 6 win? You racially profile a whiny bitch's father. That'll get results. It was indeed a simple, understandable mistake. Take that, Warriors! Maybe Draymond 'Nostradamus' Green comes out next with, "If Ayesha's father isn't racially profiled, we win game 6."

Whiny bitches gon' whine.

:lol: yeah it's mistaken identity, not profiling. I can see where that would rattle him up a bit...but that had fuck all to do with her brain dead tweets at the end of the game.

I think this Deadspin comment best sums up how I feel about this Warriors team:

GSW is the weirdest mix of styles. Curry and Thompson are soft players that have to play hide and seek all game long to get in rhythm for their incredible shooting. The only thing Curry does that could be considered tough is all his reach ins to try and strip the ball. Otherwise, they’re finesse players, and Curry, especially, really shrinks when he gets punched in the mouth.

But then you’ve got Draymond Green snarling down in the middle, and Andrew Bogut, and Iguodala, guys who could go toe to toe with Bill Laimbeer and eat broken glass for dinner.

Still, there’s something weird about the toughness of GSW’s brawlers. If Curry and Thompson aren’t getting treated like precious snowflakes, the toughness kind of disappears. The whole team wilts when things don’t go their way.

It’s not like the Kobe/Shaq Lakers who could just come from behind at any point and destroy their opponent, so they sleepwalked through most of their games. GSW kind of needs to put on their weird Harlem Globetrotters exhibition, and if they aren’t allowed to do that, they just sort of flail and don’t know what to do. That’s why Curry always seems to say that losses feel “weird”. He said it again tonight about getting ejected. It felt “weird” to him. They’re a super-weird team, and it makes sense that they’d feel it was weird when things don’t go their way.

Kerr even said so himself. His presser, to summarize, was "they play iso ball, we run around and shoot from the parking lot. If we don't get all the holding calls, we suck, because we can't do anything else"

What's funny is the Warriors are holding the cavs on all their cuts as well. But the Cavs are just cutting to set a ball screen to get a switch or cutting to the elbow to post up for ISO ball. Both teams are holding and none of it is getting called. It is getting called the same on both sides. Unfortunately for Kerr, his team relies on space to get perimeter shots up. Maybe he should coach his team on multiple styles of play to account for any scenario.

I think game 7 is decided by how the Cavs defend Thompson and Curry, and how the Warrior bench plays. Shumpert, in particular, played some awful defense against Curry. He got lost at every opportunity and gave Curry far too many open looks. If either Thompson or Curry play like Thompson did in game 6 against OKC, the Cavs have no shot. They're going to have to prevent them from getting into a rhythm. Meanwhile, Curry and Thompson combined for 55 in the last game, but it didn't matter because the rest of their starters and bench—with the exception of Barbosa and Speights—were garbage.

The Cavs seem to understand how to beat them on the offensive end, but they have to be engaged defensively. No easy buckets.

Where has Shumpert gone? awful on both sides of the ball...
He and Kevin Love should give back their paychecks cuz they sure as hell aren't earning any of it

How huge would it be for Love and/or JR to go off in Q1 Sunday

Warrior fans upset with calls?? uhhh.. did any of you see the 3rd foul called on Love?
altho that one might have been called by the Cavs to give them a reason to sit his ass down

So tired of the whining by GS as if they are being cheated somehow. Everyone in basketball feels like the refs screw em at some point but damn. Andy straight ripped Shumpert to the ground. Curry had at least two full blown tackles, arms wrapped completely around players. Kyrie went for a layup and Draymond fouled him first, then knocked the ball out late in the game. Ref calls GS ball. Total phantom foul called on Shumpert in front of Curry by halfcourt, that leads to foul shots and points. I mean, wtf whiny bastards?!?! The refs just suck. I'm sure those phantom calls will continue amazingly back in Oakland on Sunday.
