I do not like Stephon.. Im sick of him, been sick of him.. But at least hes trying lately.. and i have to say - The refs give Steph NO CALLS

Seriously... When he first got here.. He used to get fouled on all those drives he makes to the basket.

This year you see him blowing layups after he gets bumped and the refs just are not calling it.. I think Steph has a bad relationships with the refs and its effecting his play and the team.

All stars will get those calls. Steph ain't an all-star no more.

I dont think theres any indication that Steph has a bad relationship with the refs. I think his relationship is decent, he rarely ever gets T'ed and he appears to know how to talk to them. I think when you play bad you don't get calls, period. THats why Curry got so many flop calls then and if he keeps this up, he wont continue to get them.

Refs operate like that. Steph's gott elevate his play, and he'll get those calls again, but your right a foul is a foul. But he can do it, he was driving like that back when mere contact wasn't enough to get a foul called.

Well Marbs did get away with a travel last night. He tucked the ball like a football and took like 3 steps before laying it in so hopefully things even out over time.
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

if he keeps driving to the hole aggressively, eventually he's going to start getting more calls go his way... he had a very solid game the other night & it was good to see, but it was against a crappy MEM Grizzlies team, so i'm taking it w/a grain of salt... when i see Marbury play like that for a stretch of several games, then we can talk about the refs, the system, the coaches, the fans, or whatever else... but right now it's all on Marbs to raise the level of his play, & 1 good game doesn't it.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I don't think the travel call exists in the NBA anymore.


But this is the BIGGEST problem in the NBA. Stern is worried about dress codes and players acting up against Ref but he needs to fix these non-calls and superstar treatments

I agree with TMS. I think he will get more calls if he continues to be aggressive. I think the fac that he screams out like he got hit after every lay-up may also affect him. After a while its' like crying wolf.
I just hope that people will like me
