    This is so dumb tho, and not even close to comparable... NBA players aren't acting out a script. That's naive if you don't think certain teams get favorable calls at certain times. This golden state team has been getting the treatment for the majority of the past 2 seasons, but they've been getting some really embarrassing calls/no-calls as they struggle down the stretch here. Privately, I couldn't even be proud of it if I were them tbh.

    There's nothing you can do about it, you just play your best and try to overcome it. We've done it plenty of times... but it's definitely a real issue.
    They play for and represent the league. Do you think a KFC would take a huge on one of its franchises just to prop up another? If it did, would you cry FOWL?

    Haven't you noticed how Pop has become more NBA friendly after he got the USA coaching gig? It's all a product sold by the same Jews, just packaged differently in different cities.

    Curry get ZERO respect or calls so theres no need to worry about the refs. The guy gets manhandled almost every game and they don't give him , and guys like harden and griffin barely get touched but they throw their heads back and get all kinds of calls.

    He was getting ZERO respect when Kawhi was trying to post him up. (Kawhi gets treated just like Lance)

    Kerr is like Phil. He knows his team will get away with more so he tells them to be more aggressive defensively, especially in the 4th, because they're gonna get away with a lot of contact and slaps. But then will scream bloody murder when they get a bad call to play up the "hey we're really getting screwed here" card. That's exactly what Kerr did on that moving screen call on Speights early in the game against SA here.

    Even with all the calls / no-calls they KNOW they get away with, the moment they get the short end of one that costs them playoff game, players, coaches, ESPN gonna cry about it for days, while ignoring everything else that helps them win.

    Geez, that's so bad barnes slide too, "close the gate!"

    Wasn't even the one I was expecting either. There was one late where curry was already stiff arming the defender and bogut just steps into the picture and clears him out.

    Meh, they aren't any different than the 2008-2012 Celtics, 2008-2010 Lakers, etc..high-profile teams are generally permitted to get away with whatever their "specialty" is, whether it's moving screens, physical defense and hand-checking, etc..

    Their egregious plays are more exposed in today's social media era, tbh..I don't think they are as bad as the previous Thunder teams, for instance..

    No doubt about it... like I said in another thread earlier, or maybe even this one: it's nothing we haven't dealt with and overcome before.
