Unless Durant or Curry shot 25 free throws by themselves in a game followed by another 21 I'm not going to compare the refs now to 06. And Harden got one of those calls iirc in game 7 which gave him a 4 point play. They lost because they missed a record amount of 3's. They will continue to lose as long as their best player is more focused on cheap fouls rather than actually hitting big shots. He shot 16% from 3 the final 3 games, and still jacked up 12 of them in game 7. He's a guy who can at will get to the paint and it was a win or go home game. Yet his go to move was still to try and draw a cheap call for a bailout 3 points. That's weak. Refs will give the benefit of most calls to Harden but when he's shooting like ass and is clearly wanting a bailout you can't seriously say he should have gotten both those calls. I'll give one of them but the cheap one where he barely hit backboard clearly having no interest in seizing the moment... hell no. Extremely weak. They will never beat golden state with a weak pos as their best player.
