What the hell is the NBA doing? it should be ashamed of the officiating, its been so bad this year and apparently the NBA doesn’t care? Punish that ref, don’t post his mistake like its nothing.

Curry’s face says “damn the refs really got us paying for all those moving screens” 😲

Yeah I try to be sympathetic to Curry getting mauled but he got 4 rings off of Draymond moving screens so it balances out
