LeBron James kept willing the Cleveland Cavaliers back into the game, and George Hill nearly won the game in regulation, but the Golden State Warriors found their offense in overtime and walked away with an unsettling 124-114 victory in Game 1 of the N.B.A. finals on Thursday...

JR Smith’s brain cramp at the end of regulation eliminated the chance the Cavaliers had to win.
Yawn. The NBA is fixed.
Same teams every year. Who the hell cares?
It’s more fun beating the Cavs than it would have been beating Boston.
So what? How about some “affirmative action, equal opportunity diversity” on the court?

Whatever.

Yup. Some of the worst officiating ever. This was clearly rigged.
BTW I am not a fan of LeBron James on the political front. See http://www.businessinsider.com/lebron-james-on-trump-steph-curry-golden-state-warriors-white-house-visit-2017-9
But he was hacked all game with few calls. Fair is Fair. Maybe will LeBron will learn that applies to the real world too.
As a Knicks fan, I can finally appreciate what we lost when J.R. Smith was traded.
It reminds me of the 1969 finals.
An old Celtics team (Bill Russell’s last year) which finished fourth in the East, as did this year’s Cavs with an old LeBron James (15th year in the league), not expected to get this far, facing a West Coast powerhouse in the finals.
But the Celtics ended up winning it. Don’t expect the Cavs to, but impressed that they got here.
LeBron scored nearly half of the Cav’s points. Toward the end no one else was touching the ball. One man show makes for a loss.
But if George Hill and J.R. Smith hadn’t screwed up...
The commie left has ruined my interest in professional sports. They spoil everything they touch which is by design. Destroy all American institutions. Redefine. You end up with a monsterous creation that a real American cannot recognize and is revolted by.
The Cavs one chance to try and make it a series and they blew it or the refs blew it for them. Who cares! The NBA doesn’t like us Deplorables any more than the NFL does. Screw them both!
