Bill Simmons, Celtics superfan, NBA analyst and founder of the Ringer, admitted Friday on the Bill Simmons Podcast that Warriors superstar Steph Curry is getting jobbed by officials in the Dubs’ first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets.
“I just think the Rockets are getting away with crazy s—t against Steph,” Simmons said. “I don’t like it.”
Curry has attempted just six free throws through the first two games of the series as the refs have largely let the Rockets manhandle Curry off the ball. The internet, meanwhile, has been flush with “Steph Curry Is Being Held Constantly” clip packages from Warriors fans who’ve been beating the drum about their superstar not getting calls basically since he put on a Golden State jersey.
