Only 4??

What about Klay Thompson's phantom 2nd foul??
Or Mosgof's travel on every play to the basket??

Look I know LeBron is hit every time he goes to the basket, but so were a lot of other players. LeBron just complains the most, so more people insist that they see it!!

1. Hmmm... LeBum sells a few more jerseys than Steph.

Coincidence?

2. The NBA Travel Joke

A number of people make the joke that no one in the NBA calls travels anymore. As a result of that joke I did not realize travels were actually called during NBA games.

3. The refs have pretty much lost control of this series

Last night was no better. Lebron stole the ball from Curry late (after tackling him). Curry fouled Dellavedova three times on that shot in the lane (they called the third one, but only because he knocked him down). The Warriors were also clutching-and-grabbing for dear life on every inbounds play down the stretch.

They'll review it all after the season and vow never to let it happen again. Except it has and it will. I remember they changed the hand-check rule after the Knicks gave the Bulls fits in an early 90s series. Every time Scottie Pippen got the ball, Anthony Mason (RIP) would put his forearm and elbow in his chest. The following year, you couldn't even fart on Scottie. In this series, you are apparently allowed to do semi-bear hugs whenever your man beats you on the dribble.

4. They don't

call him King James for nothing. The King gets all of his calls every time he charges and pushes his weight around.

5. Just out of curiousity, what would make people feel better

if the refs were well meaning but incompetent, or corrupt?
