Did anyone else notice at the end of the game how Curry had that look of hurt on his face when James pushed him aside and didn't acknowledge that he was on his level? The emotional pain for Curry in that moment was real.

Huh?  He was smiling and laughing.

Yes. Curry tried to play it off cool. But read his body language there for a split second. He is wearing the pain.

They had just won the game.  There wasn't any pain.  Curry was psyched.

I think you're misreading the situation. Didn't see that at all

I didn't think the officiating was clearly slanted towards GSW. There were clear calls missed in both directions. Part of the reason why it might seem slanted is Jackson and Breen's refusal ever to say anything remotely critical of Lebron and the Cavs. They have just been awful.

Its like Jackson is rehearsing to be Lebron's next coach. VanGundy and Jackson should step aside and let Reggie Miller and Doris Burke finish it out.

Please, god, no, lol .

Anything and I mean anything is better than listening to Mark Jackson. I rather have a feed to a goat chewing on a tin can than listen to Jackson. How did he ever coach a team. He has the lowest BBQ IQ of any announcer I have ever heard.

Lol, TP my friend . I saw one of those post game SportsCenter interviews when I still had the stream up during one of the games in the ECF, and one of the "anchors" asked Jackson about as to what the Celtics were doing, specifically, that was working against Lebron after Game 2, I believe, (although I'm probably misremembering something, here, but you get the general idea, right?), and Jackson replied with, well, something like, "they paid attention to detail," and when the SportsCenter dude tried to ask the same question, again, Jackson said that, "they (Boston) followed the game plan," LOLOLOLOL . Like,



I swear, all you have to say in order to take his job is:

"Play with force."

"Hand down - man down."

"GROWN. MAN. MOVE."

"Momma there goes that man."

"Pay attention to detail."

"Follow the game plan."

"He's an outstanding coach."

"That's quality offense."

"That's/he's a bad man."

Anything with "the basketball" added to it, LOL .

Curry looks like a child who just got told "no" in that moment. It's priceless.

Yeah, what? Not seeing that at all, just seems like harmless trash talk, with LeBron sulking if anything

Why do you come across as very anti-LeBron James?

Yeah, it was harmless trash talk.  If anything, Curry got under Lebron's skin which Curry was clearly enjoying.

Well I mean, I am. He's annoying to watch and complains an unbelievable amount.

But if two people are arguing, and one person pushes the other person away, who would you say is more frustrated? The one that did the pushing, right?

Right after LeBron blocked his shot, Curry was waiving his arms and wanted a goal tending call. There was somewhere around 10 seconds or so left in the game, and the Warriors were up by 8 or so. The game was basically over and Curry was crying because he wanted to add to the score. I think LeBron basically called him out on it, and Curry couldn't believe it. I hate that LeBron beat the Celtics, but he was 100% correct in this. Total punk move by Curry.

That's gotta go down in sports history worst plays along with Jim marshall running the wrong way, or Chris webber calling time out

Smith did both. He ran the wrong way, and he didn't call a time out lol

not only that, all these guys are friends. They visit each  others mansions and yachts. Any animosity on court is for reality tv  effect

This isn't like bad boy pistons vs the big 3 Celtics days
