Why arent NBA teams punishing Steph Curry for setting screens?

    Not only is it demoralizing that a skinny little guard sets screens, then he uses these screens to set up for a wide open jumper...One of these times, a player should run right through Curry and hammer him onto the court floor. It would just take one such play, before Kerr stopped using his best player as a screener.

    The offending player and 7 generations of his family would probably be banned from the NBA for playing too rough with one of the league's designated princesses.

    Would be very satisfying to watch.
    JR most likely to do it though and get banned from the league as a result lol.

    Yup. Except if you do it with Curry, you're out for the rest of the game and maybe banned till next season... (or for life) :grin:

    Why isn't the NBA punishing the warriors for illegal screens? It's easier just to do nothing.

    Why do you think LBJ got away from his constant off-hand pushing and elbowing? He's even dipping his shoulders while posting? If referees called even half of it, he wouldn't be there by fourth quarter. ;)
