His hands are nowhere near the ball when Lebron catches it. Even in the first frame I posted, let alone the frames before that.

His right hand is hitting Bron's left hand.

Bron's left hand is part of the ball.

His right hand is hitting the ball.

Why are you talking about Lebron's left hand?

edit: Ahhh I get it. You mean technically the "hand is part of the ball" from a rules standpoint.

His arms clash pretty bad though. And it's not even clear Lebron's left hand is on the ball at that point.

edit: Looking at previous frames Bron is sort of spinning that left hand around the ball, probably at least lightly touching it to sort of guide the ball a bit while his right hand holds it with momentum

It doesn't really matter. It was the restricted area and Biyombo was flying into Lebron. It would have only been a clean block if Biyombo was already in that spot and jumped straight up.

You can see a fans head behind the backboard between the defender's hands and the ball lol.

Wouldn't have mattered. There's almost no way, in that game, that Biyombo wasn't getting that called a foul

To me golden state has improved far more than the cavs have. 73 wins versus 67 is a lot harder of a jump to make than 53 vs 57. And Curry went from a great shooter last year to insanely good.

It's about matchups. Kevin Love vs. a Draymond Green dramatically improved over last year and Kyrie Irving's defense versus the best scorer the NBA's seen in a long time.

how's draymond working out for you now? best scorer shooting like 35% lol. I guess he has the same injury Derozan had in the Pacers series

i would have saved these for later but i cant even say i told you so since one of these teams wont even be there

Draymond against Kevin Durant has been awful. Against K. Love? I mean Love doesn't even play in the fourth quarter lately so it's hard to say, but I'd imagine he'd be pretty good. Same with Curry against Irving.

Nice try, though :lol

LMAO at anyone who ever thought the Raptors were going to reach the final because they grinded out two results.

At the end of the day they're a Toronto team which means they'll remain losers for all existence no matter how many times their fans deny it.

It would be Cleveland as hell that Durant and Westbrook are actually for once in a playoffs run on the same wavelength and just dominant in the finals

Like that would be your last bit of proof that Cleveland Sports are cursed lol

I'm hungover and this post is a jinx. A non Cavs fan had to make this to spite Cavs fans.

I'm just happy the Cavs reached the finals again overcoming adversity. Cavs had coaching issues this season and would not be here if Blatt was at the helm. It's hard to coach this team and Ty Lue is a helluva coach. I just hope we make this upcoming series competitive. Warriors and Thunder need to go seven games for great ratings.

LolBron looking terrible out there with this team. They need a someone other than Kyrie running point. If LeBron is gonna revert to being ball dominant, they simply cannot coexist.

Warriors looking like a well oiled machine. And this is without Steph Curry even breaking a sweat yet.

Listen, I know first road team to win will be a huge factor, but right now it looks like Cleveland got punched square in the mouth and doesn't know whether to fight or flight. They look bad. Period. No ball movement. Everyone watching LeBron. Let's hope Lue (Bron) can tune the offense and get some ball movement at home. I am sure we will see a relaxed and different team in Cleveland, but they are not inspiring much confidence at all right now. Five game gentleman's sweep is still my call.
