Zaza can't play in this game. He's a -10 in 10 minutes with four fouls and two turnovers in a game his team leads by 8.

The reality is that Lebron probably should bitch to the refs as much as he does. 90% of the people in this league can't guard him without fouling him, but he regularly has to play through contact. If Lebron got the same ticky tack calls that guys like Curry and Westbrook get, he'd be at the line 30 times a game.

While that is true, (a) he should also have a lot more offensive fouls called on him, and (b) he complains even when he committed the act.

Curry has 13 free throw attempts. Lebron will have 4 after this one. Who is the more physical, aggressive driver, that gets hit harder and more often?

That said, it's probably good that Lebron isn't getting to the line, because he can't make them.

You know, at the end of the regular season last year I would have argued that Curry was the best player in the NBA. Right now, I think he is inarguably the fourth best player in this series.

For two teams with so much talent I've seen a lot of ugly basketball these last two games.

I swear if Lue has JR Smith on the bench, and either Deron Williams or Jefferson in the game at any point in the fourth quarter, he should be fired, force to leave the sidelines and walk home from Oakland before the game is over.

In those last two sequences for GS, McCall has double the bench points than Cleveland does. In two possessions.
Beyond the stellar starting 5, GSW seemingly doesn't have any bad bench players. McCall, Livingston, West, et al - and of course Iguodala - can put in meaningful minutes. Hell, even Pachulia is good for playing the thug once in a while. He helped take Love off his game early.

It's McCaw. I totally butchered his name. :)
