The NBA needs to completely overhaul rules around perimeter defense, one of them is definitely stopping Curry from being able to so easily draw 3 FTs.
Honestly, I haven't seen a bigger cheat code since MJ. At least twice in the Portland series, Curry was allowed to jump into a standing still player well off him for three FTs and to get a breather for his team and to steal momentum. This was used in the Houston series, too. It's pretty sad to watch. Any time the Warriors get down double digits, Curry knows that's there for him.

They're calling it against current rules, tbh. Just pretending Curry was fouled and that the defender is not allowed to stand there.
It was blatant and should have not been called however when are the defenders going to learn to stop jumping toward the shooter? They aren't blocking the shot, and just putting a hand up will make him make his shots. He can make them, but goddamn if I'm sending that er to the FT line.
This.
The Lillard foul on Curry who was going to badly brick his trey was a near zero IQ play. Near the end of the close game to boot.
There it is.
yep. -10 at half and cue:
Fat Gasol was having one of the better games of his playoff career. Start of 2nd half Donkey gets loose and takes it down the lane.
Looks like Gasol simply conceded the shot. As in did not make any contact at all. No replay of course and Van Gundy and Jackson are babbling about who gets to blow the Warriors after the game. Per par.
Short time later Looney is sticking his ing elbow in Gasols face. Tweet! Foul on Gasol and sure enough Nurse had to take him out.
Plenty more Donkeys etc.
It was however an astonishly somewhat fairly called game. Ie Donkey barreling down the lane with the super obvious charge into Lowrey. Damned if Homer Ape didn't get rung up. Ditto Curry on a Kawhi drive.
The call I hate is when Curry pump faked from the arc and Gasol bit but was jumping across in front of Curry. Then while Gasol is in the air, Curry jumps forward and makes contact. And Gasol gets the foul.yep. -10 at half and cue:

What was MJ's cheat code?
Dunking on defenders and dropping mid jumpers
Finding plumbers to defend him.
That's the cheat code. A little surprised the refs used it with the Warriors down 10 and something like only 2:40 left. The only thing they were really f'ing with at that point was people's in-play spread tickets.
The term ghost foul was literally invented to describe many of his and ones.
It was then retired for a few years and then brought back for Kobe.
Curry jumping back into Siakam. Not even a hard call.
The perfectly clean strip of Curry by Siakam right before the half.
Took it from 59-52 Raptors ball with a chance for score before halftime to Lil got hitting both FTs thus 59-54.
I hope Steffies fingernails are ok. It looked like some strong wind may have hit them during the strip.
Donkeys rebounds where he gathers the ball then just falls down. Wtf is up with that. Saw refs fall for that one more then once.
There were so many fake calls in that first half to stop the Raptors from leading by 15. And that had a psychological effect b/c they played really well and were barely ahead and they were tight going into that third quarter.
