Perfect. Just perfect. Nothing will silence the NBA conspiracy theorists like an endorsement from a professional athlete. That's sure to keep everyone grounded. Who even cares that their primary sticking point is 2-3, potentially poor hand checking calls on Steph Curry? It's pretty obvious - to me anyway - that a league that's worth billions and filled with hundreds of athletes (and apparently actors) is so scripted that it makes 'The Young And The Restless' feel improvised. That theory is so damn flawless that it makes Beyonce appear to have woken up looking like the horse-faced member of 'Destiny's Child'. Can't possibly just be two great teams, featuring two superstar players, trading body blows down the stretch of the final round. Nah, not with the officiating last night. I don't know what the referees put on the bottom of the Warriors shoes, but it basically stopped them in their tracks when they were "trying" to play transition defense and slow down a Cavaliers team that IMMEDIATELY jumped out to a 20 point lead. It's actually amazing more people aren't talking about how rigged the game appeared down the stretch when the Warriors exploded to put up all of 11 points in the first quarter. Seriously though, I bet Ayesha Curry put Riley down for a nap and started flicking her bean to this tweet, and that should be a billboard-sized sign of just how preposterous it is to anyone that even considers agreeing with it. You want to tell me there was a little something other than justice behind the NBA's decision to suspend Draymond Green for Game 5 then I would absolutely agree with you, but what part of LeBron's historic night was fixed? Did Adam Silver just push the easy button up in the booth and his jumper started falling? Did he tell Steph Curry that his childhood dog - that his family sent to live with "a really sweet couple with a huge yard upstate" - finally kicked the bucket so he wouldn't be mentally prepared to play? A handful of bad calls doesn't mean the game is pre-determined, it means the officials stink. Ironically enough, that falls perfectly in line with what we have come to expect from them this season, so I am not sure why it's taken until now for a select group of idiots - David Price included - to assume fraudulence instead of negligence.
