Dunno what else to say. I watched the play like ten times. There's at least two fouls there. Curry's hands are all over Irving
before the whistle. And considering he was already in heavy foul trouble, it was just boneheaded to try it in the first place.

And the 6th foul I agree it was dumb of him but LeBron totally flops forward and tries to make it look like there was contact.

Watch it again very closely. In fact, watch all the fouls again.

If that's a flop, then Lebron deserves an Oscar, because I'm convinced. Lebron is already moving forward on one leg tyring to get the ball
before Curry makes contact. Curry runs up from behind and basically gets underneath him, their legs get tangled, and Curry trips Lebron. Honestly, it doesn't even matter whether Lebron flopped or not- it's still a foul. In a pivotal finals game with the two-time MVP already having 5 fouls, you would think they would just let it slide, but it IS a foul. And this is setting aside the fact that Curry
clearly fouled Lebron right before that on the attempted steal (which he didn't even get anyway)- and you yourself just admitted that it was dumb of Curry to take the chance in the first place. It's dumb in any game to gamble on a steal when you're in foul trouble. When you're the reigning two-time MVP, and its an elimination game in the NBA finals, it's just idiotic. Curry had a brain fart, and he's got no excuses and nobody to blame but himself.

I found these on /r/nba.
On that 6th foul, why is he even trying for steal that far out and with 5 fouls? Did he not think if he kept reaching the refs wouldn't call a foul? |
This is exactly where I'm at, and those pictures only tell half the story. They don't show Curry's hands all over Irving before the whistle.
