Rigged! Curry/Butler duo: 31 free throw attempts; 8 more than the entire MEM team

[k0kakw0rld]

Scottie Pippen Jr couldn't even breathe on Curry without getting called for a foul. Where was that same energy Refs, when you allowed the Rockets to bully Steph, to a point where he wanted to cry to the refs? For Christ sake, this was a play-in tournament :banghead:

Did you honestly watch the game? There were two terrible calls that went against the Warriors at the end of that game, the clean block by Podziemski and that weird ass foul that put Edey on the line.

Not the refs fault the Grizz missed key FT's and couldn't inbound the ball.

Butler has always been one of the biggest foul baiters of all time. I made a thread about it a long time ago, but his free throw rate over the last 10 years is absurdly high.

He has a lot of games where he has 12 FGA and 10 FTA. Still an elite player but it's the one thing I don't like about him.

He's not a flopper though. Kobe and Jordan pump-faked as well and KD is a good modern example, it's a part of the game. Butler finishes through contact he's not just looking to get a foul he's just smart about drawing contact on his shots.

Op, find the closest bridge and jump off of it.

I don't know, but the dude is a master grifter.

Butler has always had ridiculous FTA rates relative to his output. He doesn't do it in a cheap Harden flop way but more of a Giannis way where he purposely initiates contact not just to draw a foul, but also to bang into the defender which will push him back And give clearance to get the shot off.

Between Luka and Jimmy were in for a treat in R2. A referee bonanza!

Butler would get his ft’s back in the day he doesn’t rely on cheesy non basketball moves to get them, that is what separates them.

Doesn't ever bother you when Lebron and the Lakers get pitter patter foul calls while being allowed to run roughshod on the other team.

Nah he absolutely baits. I've watched PLENTY of Jimmy Butler games. You don't get a ridiculous free throw rate like Jimmy does without being a foul baiter. He gets touch fouls that Lebron would dream about getting.

He's a foul baiter AND a flopper. Yes they are related but different things. Butler does copious amounts of both.

Pippen Jr. couldn't breathe on Curry? (https://www.reddit.com/r/warriors/comments/1k0arz5/currys_invisible_to_the_refs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

SGA is averaging 8.8 fta averaging 32.7 ppg and attempting 5.7 3pt per game.

You are a casual, not even watching games, just the games on National TV. Which they played in 15 this season.

Now, let's talk about shots selections vs Free throw attempts:

Players with the most free throw attempts:

If you remove free throws from every single player on that list SGA still leads them in PPG.

Conclusion, you are a moron just like sports media.

If the refs allowed MEM to play as aggressively as the Rockets played against the Warriors and Curry, the Dubs would be playing on Friday for the 8th seed.

Losers get stuck on constant if scenarios. Reality is Warriors won, deservedly so.

Curry takes contact much of the time and doesn't get the call. It's been a concern for long time that curry isn't getting the calls he should. Overall I think the refs do a good job in warriors games.

[tpols]

Curry only had 2 FTs last night while being held all game long. It's quite impressive that if you have the ball minimal contact is allowed but without the ball can be bear hugged all night with no calls.
