Quarters won: Cavs 3, Nets 1.

That 8-point flurry in 60 seconds at the end of the 1st Q was the final margin.

C’mon Cs, take these a-holes out.

I'm not sure water is safe. I gotta do my research. (Edit: No offense to any Muslims reading this who are fasting for Ramadan. Not my intent. Just to clarify!)

If Kyrie doesn’t have an all time efficient shooting game, the Nets could have lost to this very unimpressive Cavs squad.

I remember that I don’t like Paul George, but don’t really remember why. Has he done anything annoying other than call himself Playoff P and say Dame’s game winner was a bad shot?

Officials are going to the replay to determine whether Bobby Jackson committed a clear path foul on a play where he never made contact with the ball handler. This is insane lol.

Ty Lue is showing how freakin brilliant of a coach he is with these schemes he’s using against KAT to frustrate him.

The Wolves (and particularly Towns) played poorly.... they also got the Scott Foster giving you 110% experience.

The officiating in this game has been just atrocious. They just gave a double tech to Morris and Beverly then realized Morris already had a T and took it back. I've never seen that.

Umm... sure looked like Malloy gave Morris a second T then pretended he didn't when he realized it was an ejection

I’ve actually seen this a couple times over the years. As bad a look as it is it’s the right thing to do.

If the Clippers lose this game, what is the league gonna do for the next game?
I mean you get Foster and Malloy just putting in WORK all night and you can't win?
May need to plant drugs on all the starters of whoever wins the 9/10 game.

I disagree, especially if you give the other guy one. Morris deserved a tech, so what if he gets ejected... call the game the same way from start to finish, it doesn't have that much more impact than calling a bunch of soft fouls on KAT throughout the game.

KAT has 4 and proceeds to commit two offensive fouls on the same play. Foster tried to let the first go but then he barreled over the second defender right after lol.

KAT gets a legit 5th... of course they should rescind it because apparently guys getting tossed isn't allowed.

Just for posterity, Foster is the guy Donaghy called a billion times, right?

Nothing to see here, people! Move along!
Yeah, honestly Stern's most impressive moment in terms of protecting the league.... first he leaks the FBI investigation to the papers... killing it dead. Then he rallies the refs union, and makes up super double secret internal grades... which say that Foster is not only not crooked, he's the best ref in the league like 10 years running.... and then he gets all the big games and gets to use his game control skills for the benefit of TV ratings instead of bets.

9:30 left and FInch (correctly) puts Towns back in....I'm setting the over under on his 6th at 3 minutes.

edit- 9:30 I meant
