Two phantom fouls has neutered his ability to play any defense. I hate how the NBA does this...Bill Burr has a point.

I think it's the worst he's looked on that end in the whole playoffs.

nice 12 point lead for the celtics (should be more though)

let's see if they can finally have a decent third quarter though. they have lost Q3 by an average of 17.5 points in this series. that's ridiculous.

seeing how....well not easily per se, but surprisingly smooth for being against a elite warriors D boston offense hss been has been my biggest surprise so far

two best defenses in the league (healthy bucks aside) and it has been a offense first series

i really wonder if bucks (notorius for offensive struggles in the playoffs) could have scored on the smaller warriors like this

on paper they should be a better offense thsn boston after all

that's why his 2nd foul was so bad from him. you know that refs aren't gonna be 100% correct with their calls, you can't be giving one away like that when you already have a foul in the 1st quarter.

So you're saying that his defense has been bad but then suggest that he shouldn't be playing defense cause he got two phantom fouls called against him. I don't think Curry is to blame here...it's the refs. They've allowed pretty physical play go uncalled all series and call two ticky-tack fouls early on the Warriors' most important player. I suppose Curry has to pay for Draymond's sins.

Steph has to know that isn't a foul worth risking.

no i'm saying that curry's 2nd foul was stupid and you shouldn't commit stupid fouls as a superstar. i did not say you shouldn't be playing defense.. that's just disingenuous

This postseason is run easily the most I’ve been impressed by Steph in the playoffs. Very smart defensively and he’s been doing a carry job on offense.

Draymond needs to up his strikeout to home run to strikeout ratio needs to be upped if Warriors are gonna win.
