Yes, the league is invested in Curry, but people are going to grow pretty tired of this kind of game outside of GS fans. It's not good for the league as a whole.
It's about the integrity of the game. It's not about the Rockets beating the Warriors. I don't think the OP framed this right with the Dallas series. Again, it's about the integrity of the game. It's not about the Rockets beating the Warriors. I didn't even want the Rockets to make the playoffs, but I want to see the NBA continue to clean up its image as a not-so-subtly manipulated league. Who knows, if they get officiated on screens just like the other 29 teams, maybe we're not overrating Klay Thompson so much and being subjected to the worst nickname in sports: "The Splash Bros". If they get officiated correctly, maybe the Warriors still win back-to-back, but I have more respect for their style of play.
Blow up a championship team? Pass up a great talent like Giannis? Not get out of the first round in 5 years? Keep overpaying players? Keep signing old players? Have your aging superstar still be the best player on the team?
THIS. It has nothing to do with the Rockets and everything to do with the league itself. How is it that all fans of every other team are aware of this and have made it known all over social media for 2 full seasons now, but the NBA continues to ignore it? Just a spit in fans faces expecting us to simply forget about it and just sit back and enjoy watching Steph and Klay have a 3 point contest every game.
