Curry or not Curry, looks like the refs were determined to make sure that Golden State's home winning streak stayed in tact.

The foul call on Klay Thompson literally slipping and falling for the first points of OT was absolutely egregious.

I'm a huge fan of the human element in sports, that's what sports should be all about. But the NBA is honestly the only league where I would support eventually replacing human refs with machines. Big time teams and star players have always and will always get the calls over the smaller teams just because of name recognition/reputation. It's disgusting to see, and it makes sort of a joke of the game.

I missed the game last night.
According to what I read and the box score we gave a decent effort.

If we gave more effort controlling our defensive boards and limit turnovers, we could have won.
18 Offensive rebounds and 17 Turnovers (I think)...that's just ridiculous.

Was just about to post the NBA report.

It sucks when the refs blow these things. I genuinely feel for you guys on that. I wish the league did a better job of moving out some of these refs. It seems as though they are entrenched and I don't see any of them ever being moved out. Must be a union thing.

Not surprising.
It's not even about their homecourt record, it's about them beating the Chicago Bulls for the best record of all-time.
Golden State is made to watch tv right now. Even women that I know are talking about it and wanting to catch the game at a bar. It's just that interesting right now and the NBA is capitalizing of it.
They'll capitalize even more if the Bulls record is broken and I wouldn't be surprised if the ratings have set a record for the season.
