Ref makes a bad call. They decide to change it without making the Warriors use a challenge. Warriors ball despite the Suns getting the rebound.

Completely unacceptable officiating.

If a referee misses a call he can confer with the other refs.

I have no problem with them changing a call if they're getting it right.

But they didn't get it right. The Suns secured the rebound.

That possession was Cam just dribbling around the court.

Great.

I mean it didn’t hit the rim it hit the bottom foam or whatever and that’s why the ball changed direction. That being said Phoenix got the rebound and somehow it ended up being GS ball. Just makes no sense for that outcome. Should have been jumped at the very least if not Phoenix ball

So? Stay in shape. It’s literally your job.
There’s a difference between in shape and being in elite athlete shape...I don’t expect nba players to stay in elite shape during the off season.
You get paid $40M. I have zero sympathy.
No one said anything about sympathy...I don’t think anyone feels bad for Paul. He wasn’t in the best shape when the season started, we’re just explaining why.
An apologist for an elite athlete who gets paid to perform at a high level. I don’t see other players and teams doing the same. Lebron is Lebron. AD is AD. Steph is Steph. This is a joke to me I’m sorry. Do your job.
I just think you’re acting like he came in fat...he didn’t pull a Shaq or Draymond or Embiid or Chriss. He was prepping for a February or March start and wasn’t ready for December.

I don’t have a problem with a 35 year old being smart about his off season plan.

Strong work Chris. He shot it, missed, and shot it again and missed again instead of holding the ball for the last shot of the half. Gave the Warriors an extra offensive possession which luckily ended in another Oubre brick.

Clutch Paul.

I’d have to see it again, but are we sure the suns didn’t just get it because of the whistle? I think Curry had it and then someone knocked it out of his hands after the whistle

Now we only scored 16 in the 2nd quarter tonight, not sure what's going on there
Well Warriors only scoring 18 helps us avoid disaster/deja vu

They blew the whistle and called traveling when Curry got his own rebound. Then he put it up and Kaminsky got it, but the play had been whistled dead by then.

We’ll agree to disagree. I’d love for you to be my boss though so then I could show up hungover after my vacations and get that kind of leeway. Lol.

It's called having a shitty bench with so many guys out.

That's possible. A jumpball would've been the best solution in that situation.

Easy. When you play Abdul Nader and EtJuan Moore the majority of the quarter, you get a bag of shit.

If Curry had the ball when they blew an inadvertent whistle, then they keep possession. That's just the way the rule is.

You're right. I'm disputing that he had the ball.
