It just needs to be said that if that was nearly anybody else on any other team throwing a hissy fit and tossing his mouthguard at a fan, he wouldn't be playing the next game, though. Just imagine if it was Biyombo who did that in the Cavs series for example. No way the NBA lets that go.

Curry is a millenial twat and I'm happy to see it's being noticed. We lose.... he's not 100% and the NBA is rigged. We win... look how ****ing great we are..arent we great? This team is a representation of today's society. It's never our fault. Fitting they are the face of the league.
That being said no way he should have been suspended. Draymond on the other hand shouldn't be allowed on the court. I haven't seen that type of passion for racking since JR High.

Go Believeland!

Curry's image took a hit on Thursday night, but he was rightfully pissed off. He should have handled it better. Kerr handled it properly, calling out the refs for doing what they did, especially the one that allowed Leflop to flop.

I seem to remember Curry and company, and teammates giving Varejao a standing ovation for flopping and getting away with it repeatedly and more blatantly in game 5

And I don't remember them bitching when Kevin Love got a quick third on one of the worst foul calls in the entire playoffs.

I'm not a fan of the later foul calls on Curry. But he carelessly picked up his first 4 and they were his fault. And I have little sympathy for a team that has been getting away with blatant moving screens all season long.

Lebron just adding to his legend. If he wills them to a game 7 win....

Jordan and Kobe deep throaters are going to be in mourning if that happens.

It's everyone else's fault but the Warriors' for letting this series get to 7 games. It's the NBA's. It's Vegas's. It's Lebron's fault, because he's a "whiny bitch."

But it's not the Warriors! And especially not Curry's! How can it be?! They're so cute and cuddly and fun and how could they be a bunch of douche****ers who don't know how to own up for playing like utter shit.

Curry is innocent! Kerr is innocent!

Exactly, every point. Nailed it. I don't remember hearing a whole lot of sympathy from the Warriors when LeBron was fouled repeatedly in the paint in game 4 either. Refs swallowed their whistles. However, Refs rarely if ever determine the outcome of games. I really wonder what would happen if the Warriors didn't have Klay and Green what would happen. King James pushed that series to 6 games last year. I'd bet good money that the imposter MVP would get swept.

It's Adam Silvers fault. He ordered the Code Red.

Kobe maybe, but I'd say Jordan's place on NBA Mt. Rushmore is safe.

It's unfortunate that Draymond goes past that line so often. When he tried to take out Conley on the floor in last year's playoffs, I'd had it with him. But I want to like him. He's obviously worked his tail off to become the player he is today, and I love his versatility. You can count on one hand the players in the league that can do everything he can do on the floor. But, when you constantly flail and nearly hurt other players along the way, that's going too far. One of these days the players will police themselves and he'll get what he's given.

Golden State is going to win and the NBA is going to push Dell Curry/Stephen Curry/Riley Curry story line since it's Fathers Day and all.

So it Cleveland wins, that somehow hurts Jordan or Kobe? Stop.

I'm really hoping Curry lays another egg and LeBron absolutely embarrasses those fools.

I think it is very unlikely the Cavs win. It's easy to buy into believing but the statistics disagree.

But the sports talk meltdown if Curry shits the bed would be EPIC.

He's hurt. No the NBA adjusted. They wouldn't have won in the 80s! Lebron still isn't good - I can't explain it, but he isn't good. Going small won't work. Champions hangover.

They'll have it all. Everything except of course Lebron willed them to victory. It just done't fit the narrative.
