But Steph can hit that long 3 whether his teammates set moving screens for him or not. And that's why GS can win

First, I'm talking to a porn star. I'm truly honored.
This notion that there is an NBA conspiracy to allow certain teams to win by making calls or non-calls in favor of those teams is a bit hard to believe for me. Have there been bad refs? Sure. Can a good ref have a bad day? You bet. For the NBA or refs on their own to manipulate an entire season in favor of certain teams is not believable. Too many people would have to be in on it and it would never remain secret.
We we as fans have different opinions about the very same play, and it happens all the time, imagine what the refs are facing each and every game. No matter how they call it, someones going to be unhappy. It is absolutely a thankless job.
Each team will have calls that go their way and calls that don't. When it happens at the end of the game and appear to affect the outcome, its a big deal. The truth is every point matters and every call matters, regardless of which of the 48 minutes we are talking about. Refs make mistakes just like players, coaches, and the rest of us.
I don't believe there is any kind of a coordinated conspiracy. Maybe a ref has a hard on for a team or a player and that bias affects his call making. In the long run, I think bad calls and no calls even out. Teams should win by enough where a bad call or two at the wrong time won't affect the outcome. That's what winning teams do.
I'm bias since I live in the Bay Area and have been a Warrior fan for years. My biased opinion is GS is a great team this year and they can play at the top level and set records based on their combined talent. The next couple of weeks will tell if they are good enough to repeat.
