Oh man LeBron is getting kind of boned on the calls here. Although he traveled on the other one so that didn't matter, but this last one was definitely a foul.

Does the NBA not review tape and hold refs accountable?  The officiating has just made the game unwatchably bad.

For instance: Green leans on James before the tip. Ref realizes it is too blatant, tells him to back off, Green still grabs him on the way up. No call.  Step 3: Profit.

And oh yeah, what he is doing is exactly what he did to win the opening tip of OT, with no call.

The shit Curry just pulled is the weakest in all of basketball..the "move" where you get your defender into the air, then dive at him and get a shooting foul out of it.  Somehow the rules need to change because that's such a weak move

Do you mean that it should be a foul on the shooter when he jumps into the defender because it's the parallel situation to the defender fouling when he jumps into the shooter? Curry should have been called for an offensive foul here?

Officials protect the shooter and rightly so. A rap on the shooter's elbow that disrupts his shot is a foul; the same contact on somebody's arm during a rebounding tussle isn't. That's sensible.

If he'd run him over I could see an offensive foul, but a bit of a bump during the shot? The brick Curry threw up because he was diving in looking for contact instead of shooting the basketball would have penalty enough, for me. Play on.

That was utter domination by the Cavs. Should have been a double digit win save for unforgivable officiating
