Suns only get aggressive when other team is driving to the hoop. And that's an automatic foul. But apparently, a defender can grab, push, elbow and otherwise torture an opponent near 3 point line with immunity.
Yup, I agree. Royce sometimes gets up in people's faces and gets handsy with people and he gets some leeway I guess because of reputation. It's why I wish Dunn got more time. He still gets a rookie whistle but it seems important to build that reputation with the refs so that he can be aggressive defensively without having to worry about foul trouble.

He had problems in Golden State too, his last season was full of squabbles, especially with Green getting irate with him for not playing in the offense.

Also... I think Golden State probably wins those titles with or without him.

They did win before and after KD?

Steph is just unreal. We were on a plane from Kauai but we had wifi so I'm watching on my phone. I'm in the aisle seat lucy in the middle, the guy at the window seat was on the same flight with us both flights sitting next to us. I look over and he's watching the game on his phone too, same streameast feed I had.

Warriors down 17 Steph hits a 60 footer to end the half. Has 24 at the half. They threw everything at him, doubles, bigger defenders like Wagner and Banchero, at one point in the 3rd they were in what looked like a box and 1 with Cole Anthony face guarding Steph. He wound up with 56 including 2 huge shot clock beaters 1 over Wagner one side stepping Banchero.

Up 5 late Anthony beat GP2 baseline and Gary came from behind with that ridiculous hops and length and swatted the shot to Steph to basically lock it down.

Off night from Butler but still good defense and a bunch of key assists and a huge O board. Post had a huge night.

Steph had 12 3's one off his career high 2 off the NBA record 14 by Klay.

No idea how far this team can go they're so small but man it's fun watching Warrior basketball again
