Last night's Curry was total Davidson-era, vintage Curry, but also a stark reminder of why you can only drag a team so far, transcendent as it may have been. It was a little surreal seeing the role reversal from the 2015 Finals of a one-man Warriors show going against the onslaught of a deep team flying around from all corners. And I learned last night while I find Drake insufferable, I'll take whatever he does over random rich white dude pushing Kyle Lowry for no reason. The Warriors courtside fans did themselves no favors last night. |

I was so happy when that fan pushed Lowry. He plays better when he's angry.

Raps/Ws at even odds to win the series now.
Crazy. |

It’s nice that game 4 is tomorrow—I like the 2 day break vs 3 day

I'm most excited that the most likely outcome from this point is a 7 game series. More basketball is always better. |

Here's hoping A) the Warriors get healthy, and B) the refs are significantly better from here on out.

Any specific ref complaints? Maybe Ibaka's 2 goaltends that weren't called? Seriously, I think the refs have been largely insignificant in terms of impact this series, even if the Foster-Malloy-Brothers trio definitely made themselves known (and those 3 were always going to do that). Relative to the quality of play, I think the officiating has been fairly consistent, mostly non-noticeable, and had zero impact on the outcome of any of these games.
The ref pool at this point is pretty much the 12 guys who are the best on the planet at officiating basketball. They are still humans and make mistakes, but it doesn't get much better than this absent an overhaul of the entire officiating system. If you're complaining about the refs at this point, you should have to watch the last 3 minutes of Texas Tech/Virginia in perpetuity. |

Wow. We're watching different games if you think the officiating has not had an impact.
I'll give you consistent though. |

The point isn't that the officials have gotten every call right - they haven't, and until we have AI doing it, they never will. The point is that they haven't meaningfully affected the outcome. There's no call or series of calls that if they go the other way, make this series anything other than 2-1 Raptors right now. What has mattered in this series so far is the quality of play and the available personnel. Officiating pales in comparison to that in terms of impact. Just one guys opinion. |

I'll be curious to see what the L2M report says, though most of the bad calls seemed to happen earlier in the game. The L2M report from game 2 had what 4 or 5 missed or incorrect calls. That is a lot in my mind. One every thirty seconds, on essentially every other possession?
