This is the first game I would come close to calling trash. The other 3 was a defensive slugfest reminiscent of 90's basketball. It isn't pretty but it wasn't trash. Both teams played great D. This game however....

Besides some of Lebron's moves does anyone else ever get the feeling this is a preseason matchup lol? I mean these teams are so weird to me when I see them play sometimes.
I know both teams are capable of incredible basketball but between all the injuries and the people on court it just looks weird at times. Strangest NBA Finals in some time.

Somebody tell Lebron he's being guarded by Steph Curry when he jacks up those 3s.

That missed layup right there. Dear god the bigs of the 80s/90s would so crush the living daylights out of these teams. I can already see Hakeem laughing at that one. How do you just chuck that perfect pass from Curry up like that?
Delly has tried some real ugly shots leading to fast breaks

What a pain in the ass for the Cavs.
Gotta rest LeBron every once in awhile, but every Cavs' player literally gets 10 times worse without him.

Both teams fans accusing the refs of rigging the game for the opponent.
Sounds like an NBA playoff game.
The "rigging" claims I take issue with.
If you're a competitor, why play the game if you know the game is rigged against you?
Do I think the team that's behind in the series tends to get a few more 50/50 calls so that the series is more likely to go 7?
............yeah, i could see that, certainly happened with Kings/Lakers 02.
IF that does happen, it's shitty, but hopefully they don't manipulate game 7s.
I don't want to believe such things about the NBA.
I want to believe it's ref incompetence and that it's the hardest of the 4 major sports to officiate because there's so many 50/50 calls like the charge/block.

JR Smith and Shumpert activated Knicks Lost mode for this series. The type of fuckball you don't want if you're the Cavs.

It really does testify to how good Lebron is.
I got dog piled on for saying Lebron was the real MVP this season but I still stand by it.
He is the only player that truly defined that title. Without him the Cavs are a lottery team, with him, they are the second seed and have a fighting chance to win a title.
lol fo real, idk what he is thinking sometimes

It honestly does not seem like they rig the game 7s as much. Usually the "out of hand" free throw games are in the semi or the earlier games of the series from what I can tell.
Rig is a loose term too. There are definitely a few games that were clearly rigged with insane number of free throws (Lakers, Kings) (Lakers, Blazers) but they seem to have tightened that obvious BS up a little. I doubt they really care who wins this. It's all about game 7 I would think.
