I know that expecting NBA officiating to be even-handed is a fool’s errand, but the calls in this GSW - HOU game are really sus. Yes, Draymond Green asks for too many of his fouls, but calling him for flagrant foul while he’s making a layup is a new one. And Curry is getting mauled and no whistles.
