The refs were all pro CLE the whole game.
I get that if LMA makes just one that doesn't matter, but holy that was a blatant example of the league not wanting SA at the top. Kinda discouraging to think that that's the type of BS the team will probably have to overcome in the postseason, tbh.

No Parker, No Pau, on the road, 5v8
Refs have been awful to the Spurs since 2014 tbh. It's sickening.
That, plus I thought Kawhi was fouled on an inbound play that ended up in a TO by Love. Sure the play itself ended up in a steal by Kawhi and a layup but what was surprising was that the referee called a jumpball when he was fouled.
yeah i think the time out was a real close call at best, but the league should make it a firm rule that you have to have possession to calla timeout or it's a TO. I don;t like teams calling time outs to stop play in the paint, that's just bad basketball, run the floor, throw the outlet pass.
It's not so much that they gave him a timeout as that they added tenth of seconds on the clock to allow a catch and shoot.
to say timeout takes longer the .3 of a second for sake
Yeah. Doesn't the clock start as soon as the ball hits the rim?
I thought the refs were bad but realistically not much beyond "home cooking" bad. Until that last play. That was terrible.
The insta-foul that they gave Lebron on LMA followed by the TO call were hideous. I didn't like how inconsistent the refs were in what contact was allowed, but I didn't really think it was blatant until that last call.
Ah. Don't know why I didn't know that. In any event, touching the ball and bringing it down to call TO surely takes longer than the NBA minimum to catch and shoot.
I'm glad we won in spite of total foolishness NBA!!! Makes me even more skeptical of this league!
NWE instead of NBA!
Dont worry, we shall win it all this year!
I was shouting at my TV, I saw it when it happened live it was clear that he didn't have the ball.
Some straight B.S.
Pretty hilarious imo.
0.9 left on the clock
Lebron calls a timeout and now 0.3 left on the clock
that means Lebron can catch a ball and call a timeout in 0.6 seconds, with the ref having a flash like reaction
Refs review the play and add .3 seconds so now the Cavs have 0.6 seconds left which means Lebron called a timeout in 0.3 seconds.
Kevin Love is able to catch and setup for 3 in .6 seconds and clearly get the shot off before the buzzer.
in the end Spurs still cucked the Cavs and the refs.
Also Van Gundy saying that it takes longer than 0.3 to grab a rebound, pin it against your hip and shout time out was just plain common sense. I don't normally ride with the conspiracy theorists but this seems like the Refs (though possibly incompetence) trying to extend the game.
Man, I was so livid that they gave him a timeout that I didn't even focus on how much they added. But yeah that's some bull to say that it only takes 0.3 secs to secure the ball and call a timeout. Made that much shadier by the fact that it was reset for the minimum time required for the catch and shoot like you said.
i was more upset that anderson left him wide open
Sure, that was horrible defense and sure LMA could've atleast hit 1 FT.
But we shouldn't have to deal with blatant ref bias against the team on top of having to deal with dumb mistakes/missing game-clinching FTs.
Still can't compete with top teams. Trade Aldridge, hope we can get a 2nd round pick for him
