I guess if your team is struggling and the other team is hot it's best to pretend to break their focus and cause the refs to take double looks from that point on. Brilliant move if not overly obvious.
As great as Lebron is I could never understood how mediocre of a FT shooter he is. It would drive me ape shit were I a fan of the Cavs.

Hint: the acting job was when he dove 5 feet in the wrong direction without even being pushed that way.

Ah. He threw his head in the direction on purpose. Missed that part but that's what he deserves

There was no reason he should have wound up in the crowd other than the fact the he flopped like a bitch.
Well yeah, after he headbutted the camera lens but, c'mon now, his arm was being grabbed and then he fell head first (while balancing the opposite direction) toward the crowd? It was a good way to break up the momentum but his "OH MY GOD" and grabbing his head while curled up in a ball was Grand Theft Anal... I mean acting.

I think the Cavs can turn up the intensity on defense and if they get within 6 or so points the crowd will come alive during crunch time. This is going to be a tough game to close out IMO. Who knows though they could blow Cleveland out, they have done it to other teams all year. But this is more like what the series should look like when GS is hitting shots and moving the ball.
edit: Dirty Delly is done tonight. He doesnt have any more useful minutes in him. Curry just walked by him and he is the last guy up the court every possession. aaaand LOL he is coming back in the game. If this guy contributes in any way going forward it will be a small miracle.

Lebron does that shit all the time. Gets fouled hard, foul is called, he flops and flies around to make it look worse. Most skilled athlete in the league has a history of that kind of oh-shit-look-how-hard-I-got-fouled-I'm-in-the-first-row tactics. He also plays up 'injuries' more than any player I've ever seen. It's all part of his [usually successful] tactic to get even more benefit of the doubt for foul calls, but that time he paid for his bullshittery.
It's kinda fun watching all the slo-mo replays of fouls, especially on rebounds, because there is almost always something more egregious going on in the background that wasn't being called. It's a fun game, try it.

Foul on Lebron rebound and put-back was kinda funny. Cavs Thompson is arm locking a Warrior's player pushing him down, so the warriors player is grabbing the jersey to stay upright. Lebron is pushing the dude away in the face who is grabbing the jersey to stay in the play. Foul call on one of the two jersey pulls, because it's hard to miss those. Each foul called inside is one of 2 or 3 fouls actually happening (both ways). It's just the warriors are out-sized so are making it obvious by pulling jersey. Gotta be smarter.
