    But yeah, in-game meltdowns or members clashing happen in every single fan forum. Always have, always will.

    Oooo it took you exactly one post to backpedal.

    Curry is the greatest FT shooter in the league, if the refs wanted to hand him 4 more PPG for his career on a platter they could and no one would bat an eye. You're literally talking about the greatest shooter of all-time who's won multiple MVPs is still shooting under 5 FTs per game his entire career. There's 0 chance you can argue that he gets every call with the amount of contact he takes every game. It's a non-starter.

    RE: Screens, moving screens are set by every team in the league and the refs never call it, not sure what your point is that GSW does it too. None of that changes the fact that the Dubs would much rather Curry get more fouls called from contact than the refs swallow their whistle like they do for every other team in the league.
    Not backpedaling on anything.

    If you want to defend Curry *Championship* era moving screens as being equal to all other NBA teams, wow.
    Maybe you can find a Warriorths board.

    As to Currys pre 2015 stats, apples and oranges.

    Watch some games.

    Bruh.

    Your initial argument was that Curry got whistles. You literally said that.

    Now your argument is the officials actually swallowed them when I pointed out that Steph shoots a historically low FTA for MVP-level players. Steph could have been sent to the line 3-4 more times per game and it wouldn't have been outside the statistical norms for his playstyle and level of skill.

    Your goalposts shifted literally 180 degrees in a single post from you.

    And of course this is only talked about because the Dubs hit their shots. Way easier to win games getting whistles and going to the line while putting your opponents in constant foul trouble like several teams got over the years. Imagine Curry if you weren't allowed to touch him like they did with Kobe/Wade/etc for the past 2 decades. And I'm not even saying the Warriors didn't get their fair share of whistles over other teams. Just the idea that they put Curry on the line for everything has no statistical merit.

    Spurs fouled when Tre hit KD in the face, although it was only his finger and not that obvious depending on the angle. If you have watched the NBA long enough you know that the refs don't call light fouls at the end of the game to let the players decide it.
    even KD didn't acknowledge it; he just blamed himself for not holding onto the ball.

    Durant has played enough high stakes games to know that call is never made. He exposed the ball, Keldon popped it, end of story.

    NBA concludes Kevin Durant wasn't fouled late in San Antonio Spurs stunner over Phoenix Suns (usatoday.com)

    So much attention on KJ.
    I thought it was Tre who fouled him. Also did a great job distracting Durbetta which helped KJ make the pick.

    Tears for Durbetta = zero.

    KD's always struck as a real dude IRL, which is why his heel turn was shocking to a lot of folks. He was the dude who saw Westbrook piss away multiple high stakes games and never threw him under the bus. Sure, the trade request was a bad look, but I can't say it was wrong. Online KD is obviously a different story. Dude's been super weird there forever. But it's not all that shocking that he's take the high road about something that was unintentional and incidental, especially in a regular-season game.

    "They fouled him, the refs didn't call it," Vogel said. "They whacked him on the arm before the ball gets ripped out of his hands. No call. In a situation like that, we try to get a quick inbounds to our 90% free-throw shooter, and we did."

    Altho Tre did foul him. Check the :37 vicinity below.

    NBA says that Durant was not fouled

    JFC that was an impressive win after Booker and Durant were red hot and clawing the Suns back to a tie game. And god damn Victor is nails in the fourth again.

    Is there anything more satisfying than beating the Suns twice in a row? Maybe the Lakers tbh

    You can see Durbettas game has dropped a notch.
    He still hits some very tough, basically unguardable shots.

    But he aint Wama.

    Let's be honest, it would have felt better somehow if Dantoni was on the sideline

    I love playing Pringles in the playoffs because it means the Spurs would beat his team every time if they faced them.
