[Highlight] The Suns try to foul the warriors under 10 seconds remaining, and the refs miss multiple fouls
lol, rare time when literally everyone was wanting to take the foul, but refs swallowed the whistle for idk why
they were fouling Steph and the league has a Steph only gets a whistle once every 10 fouls policy
I mean at this point it’s kind of hard to deny lol.
once every 10? damn ig they giving more calls to Steph than before after he parted ways with UA
Nike playing the long game
Can’t have him averaging 50 a game
Yeha imagine telling your wife you got fired coz you called a foul against Steph
Even fouled before the ball gets to him on the inbound, refs really are blind.
What was the line for tonight’s game?
Warriors -6.5
Not an amount that makes any difference
Sadly always my first thought lmao
I think you’re kind of correct. His point total O/U was 27.5. He had 26 before he made the last second layup.
So I believe the refs here are not calling the foul because 2 free throws would give him 28. But he goes ahead and drives to the basket after the no-call and gets the 2 points for 28 anyways.
I’m convinced they were trying to make him not hit his over.
Super shady stuff…
and then the Suns backcourt violation didnt get called at the end
Steph. Thats why
It’s so damn stupid and raises so many redflags. This is the refs actively preventing a team from enforcing their gameplan because of…reasons. And it’s a very common late game scenario: everyone knows teams are going to intentionally foul when there’s such little time remaining.
Refs have been trying to fuck on the Warriors lately.
Foul would have been better for the Suns though
Yeah. But that’s the the point people are making. Refs are so used to ignoring contact on Steph that would be called Flagrant Fouls if committed on other superstars, that they swallowed their whistles out of habit.
wdym… That s how they usually officiate Curry..
Happened multiple times during the Sixers/Hawks game too
Refs left the stove on in their hotel rooms lol
Curry’s whistle is so bad you can’t even foul him when you want to
I was following the play-by-play live on the ESPN app and I was like “why the hell did Steph shoot the ball up one with 5 seconds left??” Explains a lot
Referees are just trying to make as many people as possible mad.
have you seen blood on steph? then it’s not a foul - refs
They wanted him to lose the ball, so the Warriors would challenge and they could look at the replay for 10 minutes and then still made the wrong decision.
Steph’s lack of a whistle is truly generational
I remember back in the dubs golden days everybody was like “the secret to stopping steph is getting physical” and everybody did and it was obvious and he still never got calls and that never really stopped
Edit: it also didnt work, steph played thru the contact and still drilled it
still one of the the most absurd no calls, from last years playoffs
This was like every game with houston, that was a crazy physical series
Their only hope was clobbering Steph. They didn’t have the talent to beat the Warriors.
ofc it was Brooks too haha
How do you think Brooks got the confidence to do the chop in the previous game.
It wasn’t his first time. Refs had been ignoring it b4 then.
Lmao this is some dirty work
What the fuck were these two refs looking at?
thinkin bout dinner 🤤
LMAO there wasn’t even anything it gain the ball left his hand ages ago. He just tackled him for the love of the game.
brooks wasnt playing defense lol. he jumped waaaay after the ball launched.
he prolly thought, “no foul here. didnt get any part of his arms” *proceeds to truck steph mid-air*
I do not consider the Cavs comeback a valid championship for this reason.
Lol remember that Game 6 where Steph fouled out and also when Lebron slide tackled him and it gave the Cavs 2FTs
I think it’s in g6 or 7 when Iman Shumpert ride on Steph’s back and somehow foul called on Steph.
Almost 10 years have passed and it still bothers me. Pure absurdity.
2016 will be the most poorly aged ring ever once it’s inevitably revealed the NBA is rigged.
To paraphrase the wise words of Joe House on the Bill Simmons podcast: “There’s just so many miracles in the NBA. Luka traded to the Lakers and the Mavs get the first round pick. What a miracle. Derrick Rose is drafted to his hometown Bulls. LeBron goes to Miami and the Cavs get 3 number one overall picks right after.”
The slide tackle is still one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever seen
Both RJ and Channing Frye admitted that the gameplan in 2016 was to foul Steph and Klay off the ball because the refs wouldn’t call those fouls. I’m more or less OK with that, but the problem was that the Warriors weren’t allowed to be even in half as physical as the Cavs. Game 6 was the epitome of that.
Steven Adams, Richard Jefferson, Iman Shumpert have all said as much in 2016 alone.
Honestly, worst whistle of all time and it’s not really close.
this is why he’s the deadliest sniper of all time imo
People still deny this…only his haters though.
Steph’s only haters ARE the refs tbh 😂
Maybe you’re right lmao
Even his haters (or ex-haters, in my case) can’t deny it
I bet if he signs with Nike tomorrow the whistle will magically change
When detractors say Steph didn’t get a bad whistle, out of all the clips I could possibly choose, this will be the one.
This one is so egregious lol
This or the one from last years playoffs when Brooks body slammed Steph to the floor well after he shot.
Hot stove contact
Most patient superstar in sports. It’s unreal
He more than makes up for it with his aimbot skills
They are literally two feet from Curry looking at him getting pulled by 3 different defenders
What the fuck is with this incompetency
The draft kings own the refs!
Refs need to hit their parlays!
Ahahah “incompetency” is cute, i would believe that if Curry was a rookie. It’s been more than a decade of this, it’s intentional and there isn’t a reasonable explanation pointing otherwise.
Don’t you know? The refs don’t call fouls on Steph
Oh, they definitely call fouls on Steph. They don’t call em for Steph, though 😭
pretty standard for Curry, his whistle would kill a lot of other players careers, like imagine if you could hack and grab SGA all the time, he aint putting up 30
the only reasonable explanation is that they have a mandate/general collective agreement to call fewer shooting fouls on steph because a) he gets fouled so often it would make the game unwatchable, and b) he’s the best free-throw shooter ever, and it would decide too many games.
it has to be league influence. it just has to be. there’s no other reason an all-time great player, all-time marketable player, all-time kind to the refs player would get shit on like this.
The other explanation is his over/under was 27.5 and he was at 26 when they tried to foul him…so the refs were trying to make him hit the under…
wow.
From today’s sponsor, FanDuel!
His over/under for the game was 27.5. He had 26 when they tried to foul him.
Hmmm…
Incompetency vs. conspiracy
Literally everyone from both sides confused as the refs decide they don’t want to call a foul
They don’t want to call a foul on Steph
Has Steph made negative comments about the refs in the past or something? His entire career, he’s had a bad whistle.
The leading theory used to be that the refs are paid by Nike and Steph wears UA but that ain’t true no more
Tbh I think it has nothing to do with what clothing brand he’s sponsored by.
Giving Steph a superstar whistle, or for that matter an average whistle, would straight up have broken basketball from 2015-2022. At a time when the warriors were already the most dominant force of the decade. I 100% believe Steph’s horrible whistle is a conspiracy from Adam silver to prevent the warriors from running away with like 5 straight nba championships during that time.
And now this is just the way that he is officiated because that’s the way it’s always been. It’d be less game breaking now because the warriors are not as good. But even at this age if Steph even got an average whistle he’d be averaging like >32 ppg.
he’s still not with Nike so part of it could still be true
called out Kogut by name back in 2019, but that was after the “hot stove contact” incident and Steph had been getting an awful whistle for years prior
There was that Minnesota game where KD hit a three to tie the game and got fouled but he refs said the foul was on the floor prior to the shot so it became a side out. Warriors next play Curry hit a ridiculous corner three and Curry started dancing around and pointing at the ref behind their head mocking them. The next play with like a second left the refs called a foul on KD on the the inbounds pass to KAT and KAT hit two FTs to win the game. Not that Steph didn’t have a bad whistle before that but I feel like that was also a point where refs started to say okay fuck you for trying to show us up.
https://youtu.be/lWvb94A2wlw?si=SWZPYUXAGF2d3tc1
And people say it’s not rigged
Yes. This. If it’s Steph, no whistle. While some other out there gets a whistle with just a tickle.
Typical Steph Curry possession.
My GOAT still can’t get an intentional foul call 😭
Reffing in the nba needs an overhaul. It’s that simple. Insane watching this
They’ll get right on that, just need to overhaul the courts… and the police… and the presidency…
Please don’t get me started on all the issues in the world today lol
Oh, this is just the problems in the USA.
lol that will never happen with silver at the helm
Unfortunately you are right
How can you not challenge that, shit product
Can’t challenge a non-call
Every play should be challengeable with 1 min left.
Good God no. The end of games are long and horrible enough to watch as is.
If the end of games gets any more dragged out than it already is, I might have to become a highlights watcher
Challenges don’t exist to make the game better. They only exist so they can up another commercial for 30 seconds . “This is the State Farm coaches challenge”
But then how would the refs control close games?
In a situation where the opposing team literally tells the refs “we’re trying to foul”… and then they foul.
Not the first time either
i feel like i’ve seen this before lol
I mean this kinda fucked the suns up a bit as well as they couldn’t hope for a free throw miss. Also fucked the warriors up cuz Steph might miss the shot. Don’t even know what the refs are doing here
they saw a rare opportunity to screw over both teams, hows a ref gonna pass that up?
Thats a group chat banger for sure
Pukaaaaa
Yeah somehow the refs managed to hurt both teams in one move. Steph made it a moot point by scoring, but if he hadn’t? And if the Suns managed to score the other way?
Oh man what a shitshow that would have been.
Just gotta make sure the people knows that the refs are above every team.
Per the rule book if its against steph its ok
If that was (not gonna say names, but a few stars that we all know in this case) then they’d have been looking to upgrade it to flagrants already XD
Just say it, it’s Ben Wallace.
HAHAHAHA at this point all you can do is laugh….
LMFAO they don’t want to give Steph a single call
Least physical Curry drive
Refs keep getting worse, nice product NBA.
This shit has 100% become unwatchable. Don’t give af how dramatic I sound. This is absolutely unwatchable and there is clearly some very weird shit going on in so many different aspects of this league. The Nba as a fucking whole needs to be heavily investigated from the top down
Refs are trash
What did Steph ever do to make the refs hate him so much lol
“B-but Draymond!”
Dude wasn’t even in the whole second half and we get that ending for Steph…make it make sense
STEPH CANNOT EVEN GET AN INTENTIONAL FOUL CALL HOLY FUCK
I’m just glad the announcers are fed up with this as well.
Oh don’t worry our announcers love to share how fed up they are with the refs 😭
Fitz has watched Steph get no calls his entire career I can’t blame him same with Kelenna lmao
Refs forgot the Suns were actually trying to foul Curry, so they gave him his normal treatment.
Hilarious how bad his whistle is. Dude was getting held and tripped all game to end up with almost half of what bookers
Fucking insane man
Refs don’t even call intentional fouls on Curry, unreal whistle
What the hell are these commentators complaining about??
-Adam Silver
The league truly has a referee problem. Disgusting product.
Steph does get foul
What a joke.
Genuinely has there been any real analysis or theories on why refs screw Steph so much? Feels like it’s universally agreed upon he has the worst star whistle in the league
is there anyone in the history of the game that have had a worst whistle than steph
you would have to punch steph in the head and suplex him for him to get a call
Even then the refs will probably call an offensive foul and blame curry for being in an unnatural motion.
Maybe not to the Steph level but I remember this compilation of Jeremy Lin getting mauled. He got most of the calls but I remember he was really getting beaten up during his time
Curry has worst whistle in the history of the league
He doesn’t get free throws cause all he does is shoot 3s.
/s
Please never let any of these refs work again
Ref ball have been on a legacy run this season just awful.
Just waiting for him to get stripped regardless of ANY contact. Fucking typical.
Now imagine if Steph missed that lmaoo league is a joke man
Refs nowadays aren’t even trying to hide it anymore, what a joke
Looked like a couple of fouls before the ball was even thrown in, should have been free throws and side out.
Suns were perfectly capable of losing this game on their own after choking their early momentum, but seriously what the fuck is this?
I know it’s just the final 10 seconds of a single possession game, but c’mon NBA.
Somewhere SGA is shooting free throws.
Even Steph is like ‘wtf call the foul’ even though it’s in his benefit for them not to.
I thought title was going to be another one of those sensationalist baits but holy shit
Two people GRABBED him
refs prolly praying he would turn it over and held their whistle
I’m starting to think it’s not because they hate Steph and that they genuinely don’t see him on the court. Like maybe the refs are super puzzled at why the Warriors are only allowed 4 players on the court, but don’t question it because they won 4 chips so something about it has to be working.
well that just saved us some time thanks refs ig lmao
Can we just have one game where the refs aren’t on some bullshit at the end?
Like yeah, even with another 5 seconds we probably still lose but we atleast wouldn’t have had to rush and could have gotten a better look.
Awful officiating, at least one of those THREE fouls should’ve been called
Lol not surprised. Refs are atrocious
I’m willing to bet my left nut that this ref took the under on Steph free throws attempts.
Refs are fucking garbage and I can’t believe how they still continue to disrespect Steph. NBA refs are so trash man I stg
Refs just wanted to go home.
Can’t get a foul even when he wants one wtf 😭.
Refs not calling a foul against Curry? Ignore my flair but seems par for the course
NBA currently has the worst product on the sports market rn. Unexplainable.
Something something “but he shoots 12 3’s a game and never drives”.
Generational Scrub Whistle.
Theyve been doing this a lot recently. Think the league wants them to cap how many fouls can happen in the last minute.
Nba is soo shit literally refs are ruining it atleast in football there’s var to review shit ffs bum ass league
Lmao just foul the ref. Cut out the middle man.
So annoying because it hurt us too lmao
Refs have no basketball IQ. They have to foul in that situation, call the foul if they are grabbing him.
I know we say it every year but fuck this seasons officiating
You can clearly see the Suns looking to foul for the rare off chance Steph misses. The refs fought against him and he still powered through to get the basket.
They’re intentionally fouling and Steph still can’t get a call! 💀
This sums up Steph’s whistle for his entire career lol.
“Missed”
League is rigged dude
This is so insanely egregious it makes me legit question the validity of the game….how…how is that even possible?? Even STEPH knew it was impossible
Hilariously sums up Steph’s whistle. Meanwhile you can’t cough near FTA.
They almost called the travel
Silver had the plans in hand
Refs were like nah we’re trying to go home lol
Steph has the worst whistle in the history of the game it’s not even a debate lmao
Refs know the scoreboard, they know a foul is coming, they witness it twice, and nobody can call it????????? WHAT!?
Somehow, SGA ended up at the line on this play
Guys, I don’t see what the big deal is, I don’t see a foul
puts on glasses
Ah nvmd
Steph doesn’t get foul call 😮. So anyways 😑
Just another game night
Couldn’t tell who the refs were trying to screw over more. Like what??
To be fair Curry shooting FTs is like 1.8 points so they really only lost like 3 seconds here. But yeah the refs gotta get their shit together
Players collectively need to boycott the refs man. Like cancel games until the league does something about this wtf is going on
Refs are legitimate ass.
lmao this league is a joke
refs are wwe refs
didn’t see nothing
But the last game, the Warriors lost to a loose ball foul… how the fk official even saw that when everyone is scrambling for the ball?
3 fucking fouls. 3. How obvious is this shit. What if he missed that layup and suns win? Honestly what did curry do to deserve this whistle? By far your greatest draw card still in the game right now and he’s still treated so poorly. Doesn’t make any sense to me
If that was SGA the ref would have called the foul in a heartbeat. This is stupid AF
Curry will retire as a player with the worst whistle amongst NBA Superstars
Y’all are gonna say it’s because I’m a Warriors fan but Steph NEVER gets calls man, it’s fucking INSANE especially because he’s a superstar.
If it’s Steph, no whistle.
While some other out there gets a whistle with just a tickle.
Don’t ever try to convince me about how Steph Curry gets foul calls.
He NEVER gets any calls.
😂
If this was shai, he will be shooting 10 fts already
They’re gonna release the 2 min report and say there was no foul at all.
That’s what that non-Nike Itty bitty former Armour having dude GETS.
Referees in this league might try hard to get the calls right but they gotta try harder man.
The NBA has the most incompetent refs of the major sports leagues.
But the NBA administration DGAF.
They’ll call it after he gets injured again
NBA is so asssss, it’s insane Silver dgaf
