I will go to my grave being 100% certain that there was an officiating mandate to make more unfavorable calls for Steph to reduce his historic advantage as a 3P and FT shooter.
For as amazing as OKC is, I don't get the same feeling of inevitably that I got from those KD Warriors teams.
OKC dominates by limiting turnovers and giving full effort defensively. They beat you by 20 but you can FEEL it.
Those Warriors teams would turn the ball over a lot, dick around for 80% of the game and still beat you by 20 b/c they were so overpowered with talent. It was effortless.
Steph Curry in the two San Antonio wins: 46 points and 49 points. Capped it tonight with these two free throws in the closing seconds. He mockingly fired the crowd up between after Wemby did the same before he got to the line.
