Right. Wes is now a 35 year old having had an Achilles tear.

Who is still an outstanding defensive player.

Man, if I had a fall like Morant's, they'd be taking me out on a stretcher.

I've got Warriors in 6.

That will require them to start making some of the wide open 3's. Klay has missed 3 wide open ones in the 1st quarter.

if Memphis pounds it inside all series Golden State will have to play near their top level to win.  They have a significant advantage inside.

Officiating has been pretty piss poor in the GSW v Memphis game so far.

They seem to let it be very physical with no whistles. Then some really really late whistles, and touch fouls on Klay, Poole, Curry etc.

The refs shouldn't be allowed to ref another game. That was the biggest BS flagrant 2 ever.

No way that is an F-2. One of the refs must have money on this game.

Yeah they didn't show that second view until after.  Pretty obvious after seeing that.

I think you are the only person that thinks that. There were harder fouls that weren't even called in the Bucks/Celtics game.

He slapped down, hitting him in the face, then grabbed his jersey on the follow through.  I think that was pretty obvious.

For a F1 yes. Not an F2. It's an absurd F2 call. He was swiping down at the ball for a block. F2 is supposed to be egregious and unnecessary.

Chris Paul intentionally kicked a guy in the nuts, in a way that was not a basketball play, and it was only an F1 (league reviewed after no call in game).

Morant should attack the rim a la Wade '03 at will.  He can either score over the top or drive and kick anytime he wants.  I'd like to see him add the T-Parker floater

Believe what you like. But this game is an example of why people think the NBA is rigged. The refs are letting the game be physical...but

Curry: 3 fouls
Klay: sat for a long time with 3 fouls
Payton II: 3 fouls
and Green ejected on a normal basketball play

All in the 1st half.

Honestly calling that a "normal basketball play" tells me all I need to know about your opinion.

Really the rigged arguments are just laughable.  No teams remaining from the three largest television markets, and the league is rigging against the team from the fourth largest...one that draws huge viewing numbers...for what?  Memphis?

People who think the NBA is rigged are dumb.  The refereeing is fine.

Hard to believe Morant and Curry for the most part were not heavily recruited by major D-1 schools.  But with Morant it's pretty dumbfounding when you watch his ridiculous speed and hoppability.

Why are you offended?   He expresses his opinion about poor thought processes and bad hot takes.
