Read the comments, so many warriors fans thinking the warriors got the short end of the stick with the refs.

With all due respect, let's move on with our season and not worry about theirs.

GAME DAY BALA GAME DAY! #vsCHA

:lol I got to the "The League needed the Spurs to win this game" and closed the tab.

Lack of foul calls is a running theme in the Warriors locker room. They often feel like defenders get away with a lot on Curry, who had several scratches on him after Saturday’s loss.

It's like their version of "We're a free throw shooting team."

Great mind game right there by Kerr and Warriors...

[SouthernFried]

Whining is a character flaw. Showing a weakness that can be exploited.

Kawhi had some terrible calls against him...he doesn't make the paper.

[polandprzem]

Gs got all favorable calls the precious time we played them. Now it looked more equal. I just hope that it stays that way.

[RD2191]

The refs were trash on both sides imo.

[Horse]

They literally madeup a foul call for the first time ever on that bs foul livingston but curry gets 3 fts shit. Then came back later with some nonsense explanation.

FTW.

And they even made up a web page with a video and got players from several years ago to pose for it!

They really went all out with that one. They must have known the Spurs were going to be doing this well.

[still.focused]

Never heard of the rule before Sat game but it makes complete sense to me

[Obstructed_View]

The cynical part of me thinks that if the exact same play happened the other way that the foul would have been called on the floor before the shot attempt and the Spurs would have gotten the ball out of bounds.

On the SoCal postgame show, an Oakland feed showed Kerr whining to a local reporter that traveling is now "apparently allowed." So, the whining is coming from the top down.

[MI21]

Ref's weren't good both ways. The offensive foul on LMA against Raymond late in the game was awful, as was the call against Kawhi on the clean steal/intercept.

Horrible both ways, I'm sure both sides can go through and pick out lots of mistakes.

[UZER]

Again, Kerr learned from Phil.

The Spurs got away with two really obvious travels, both of which led to points. The whining comes from the inability to recognize that the Warriors were gifted about the same number of calls. They've taken the Mark Cuban approach where they think that the only fairly officiated game is one where only the bad calls that go in their favor should be allowed.

Thanks. I didn't even bother to look.
Reaching LakerPhan level of pussiness.

[spurtech09]

I think its the other way around....Warriors got away with a lot....Bad calls on both sides of the ball but no doubt Warriors got away with a ton of fouls....

[Obstructed_View]

They didn't get away with what they usually get away with, mostly because the Spurs switched rather than allow themselves to be illegally picked over and over.

Horrible both ways, I'm sure both sides can go through and pick out lots of mistakes.Yeah.....But I feel Warriors got away with more.....

[baseline bum]

So the Spurs actually did foul McAdoo when they had the ball? I just thought Van Gundy was having a senior moment.

[PublicOption]

they really went ape shit when they got called for an illegal screen. that is how they play...they have been able to win so much because the refs wont call it. Kerr got T'd up on that illegal screen call because he saw his bread butter get attacked.

[Spurs9]

Meanwhile leonard didnt get any calls. Its very easy to get in dubs head tbh, Draymond reminds me of Blair mentally.

[Dro210]

Yep... Phil was the best about crying and playing games in the media when it comes to officials, working it to his advantage. Just Kerr applying the most useful parts of training.

Officiating was a joke in that game. Kawhi, best player in the world, gets treated like a scrub when it comes to getting calls... Doesn't matter tho, never does when we're good enough, and we're not even gonna need 6 games to get rid of these clowns.

LOL... if the league were to start calling carrying, Curry would never be in an MVP discussion again. I know a lot of people like Kerr because he played here, but he's seriously chickenshit.
