They'll legitimately say on a broadcast that "So and So" would have gotten that call, but X player hasn't earned that right yet. Like give me a break. What a load of crap! The Raptors openly admitted this when they traded for Rudy Gay. They are on record saying they needed a star player to get respect around the league and this would get some calls to go their way.
When is the last time you saw someone like Lebron or Curry get a call go against them when the game was on the line. I can't honestly remember ever. Do you think they would have assessed Curry a blocking foul if the roles were reversed? Not a friggen chance.

And Rudy Gay screwed up the Raptors. Thank god they got rid of him for the Raptors' sake. It's not like you have 3 superstars together then you instantly get calls to being a championship team. Remember that Howard, Gasol, Kobe, MWP, and Nash line up that the Lakers' iced, yeah bunch of superstars that sucked together.
If you watched one of the Clippers Warriors game were Curry left 3 minutes into the first quarter on what could be bad calls you'll know that there is just incompetence at times. I'd say in a game against the Clippers losing your best player 3 minutes in is pretty much game on the line. Except, they won both games.
There are a lot of posters acting like the Warriors get all the calls in the world after watching one game against the Raptors. They don't, they're just a damned good team. They literally almost beat the Lakers yesterday by half time alone.
If you think the Warriors' and Curry have always gotten the "calls" you are sadly mistaken. They were one of those lower playoff seeds "no one knows what they are doing" type of teams, until last year.
If they could've chose, I'm almost certain the NBA wouldn't choose the Warriors at the beginning of last year. They'd probably rather have the Clippers or the Spurs.
