Warriors still got this without any ref implication..they are a better team..
I think we might be going 7: close Cavs win in G6 + Warriors big blowout in G7..
Game 5, Mrs. Curry encapsulates en led Warrior Nation with her whiny tweets complaining her Pampered One(s) were treated unfairly. They weren't . In fact at least two of the calls vs Delly on Curry looked like complete jokes.
Game 6 I'm hopeful for some reasonably fair reffing in Cleveland.
Game 7 I believe WarriorRef will approach 2002 LakerRef vs Kings if necessary.
What do you foresee?

^^ While I agree Warriors may win Game 7 straight up, and will if LeBron gets zero support like many Cavs games.....
I predict WarriorRef will do whatever is necessary if Cav support players are doing well leading to a would-be Cavs win.
Would pay money to see him implode and be assessed a Flagrant (auto out of Finals).
Only pussies & assholes blame the officiating.
Was wondering what would happen to that nig if he got another T.
If there is a game 7, I would bet my life that Warrior ref Danny Crawford would officiate just like he did game 7 during the thunderref series.
Flagrants, he only needs 1 more be it a Flag1 or Flag2.
Technicals, Mouthbreather would have to get 2 T's in Game 6 to be suspended for Game 7.
"Green is also on technical foul watch. He has five for the playoffs and is two short of an automatic suspension. So if Green were to get two technicals in Game 6, he would be suspended for Game 7." -San Jose Mercury News.
I would assume 1 in Game 6 + 1 during Game 7 would also suspend him. Not sure.
No way he gets two T's in Game 6. Game 7 WarriorRef will die before assessing Gaymond a game ousting T.
Only pussies & assholes blame the officiating.
At this point, I think the NBA is thrilled with getting at least 6 games. If they have a chance to get it to 7 without overtly bad calls, they'll take it.
Game 7 will probably be called straight up. Although, I can see that the NBA might hope for the Cavs to win so they can orchestrate the rubber match next season.
With Bogut out for the season moving screen calls will be at a premium.
Not far fetched at all.
I appreciate the info.

I don't think the league has that big of a motivation to utilize Warref. Cleveland winning for time in the first 50 years plus / Lebron coming back is a nice feel good story. Lebron not being Curry's total beta is in their interest. Kyrie ringing gives them another knighted star. That said, I am not privy to their statistics. Maybe, there's millions on the line. And when there's cash on the line, I put nothing past the league.
Psssst.....it's silly hyperbole, Trautman.
Have you followed Gaymonds fouling this playoffs?
The pampering Curry gets? The moving screens?
This. A Warrior glitz and glam has been way more marketable and fits Pervert ABCs agenda >>>>>>> then a boring Cleveland Cavs.Cleveland winning for time in the first 50 years plus / Lebron coming back is a nice feel good story.

If Lebron wins he can leave Cleveland and form a new super team. He can't leave till he wins one for the land
That was before the finals. As you see, I contrasted Cavs/Warriors not Warriors/Rest of the league. Of course, I know the league is much in the tank for the Warriors. If you're right about the Warriors being wanted more than Cleveland, then we'll see proof of that in Game 6 and/or 7.
^^ Agree.
And so here we are at Game 7.
What's gonna happen with the refs?
I hope it's not Danny Crawford.
And especially not Black ref.
I never really understood to need to rig game 7 of the NBA finals.
For earlier rounds, the league does have an incentive to get teams they want to get into later rounds/finals.
For earlier games in the finals, the league also have incentives to get more games and better ratings.
But for the last possible game of the season, the league can't get better ratings, and have accomplished what they theoretically wanted to accomplish.
Game 7 will be called straight for both teams. No need to favor either star player.
If anything, I can see game 7 being a physical game with the refs holding back on calling fouls. I believe they will let both teams play.
Like ambchang said, NBA got its game 7. Ratings will be through the roof so no need to manipulate anymore. Let them play.
The only thing that makes any possible sense is the idea that curry needs rehabilitation so they'll call the game tight so he gets to the line and gets a rhythm. But his tantrum kind of wrecked that idea. And that's the drama for next year: curry's revenge.
