Gasp! SAS makes a great point about Curry and the league

    Look, I know many people do not like SAS, but he makes a great point towards the end of this video. When the NBA allows players to play playoff basketball, the Warriors are very beatable. This was proven in Game 2 when the Rockets played Curry very physically and basically took him out of the game.

    What I am afraid will happen is the refs will put a force field around Curry the rest of the series and basically not allow the Rockets to defend him.

    "If the Houston Rockets are allowed to get away with that level of physicality"

    SAS and Skip are throwing Curry-apologist narratives at the wall, and seeing which one sticks.

    We aren't roughing up Curry when he's playing offense. Our switch D just lets him run around, then when he gets the ball, we're in his face with the switcher. It's making him play defense where he gets beat up.

    These guys are way off what is happening on the court, and what everyone else is talking about, including Curry's own quotes, stop listening.

    The huge problem is will it be consistent. We saw game one how quickly things can go down hill if Ariza is whistled for being too physics, or if Steph runs at him and falls over.

    I never like saying that the refs will have a huge impact, but in this case, it’ll be extremely important going forward.

    Well if getting off the floor constantly puts a lot of stress on your body, especially for a guy like Curry.... I got an idea.... QUIT FLOPPING SO MUCH!!!!!

    Gm 1 they definitely called a bunch of ticky-tack calls (in huge momentum spots no less).

    Gm2 was reffed like a playoff game should be IMO.

    Well they sure have allowed Draymond to play physical, have they not?

    The level of physicality from the Rockets is way less, than what is being portrayed. Nevertheless, the refs are even less likely to give the benefit of the doubt to Houston on the road. SAS is unhappy that the Rockets won Game 2. He wants Curry to go off against us.

    He’s always in the floor because he constantly flops!

    this cabbage patch doll was fuking flopping all night (drew one ridiculous charge on GG and another on CC) so the narrative that mauer & malloy weren't protecting him is just BS

    My favorite was yesterday when, I think it was Green, was running to set a screen and you could see Curry starting to fall backwards moments before Green got to him

    Curry spent more time flopping onto the floor or he is just that light as a feather.

    So basically what SAS is saying is if the NBA would let us all enjoy big boy basketball again, we’d be the favorites. I miss the 80’s/90’s Ball. Curry so soft.
