There were definitely some questionable calls and no-calls in that game that all seemed to go against Memphis. Glad the Grizz persevered to get the W.
 
Memphis is a physical tough team that has a deserved rep for playing defensively. Memphis probably gets away with more than some teams do as far as hand checking and stuff.

That's not a bad thing. I wish the NBA was a bit more physical overall.

The Grizzlies aren't really physical at the guard positions, and even Tony Allen isn't that physical. He is just a great fundamental defender. He also studies opponents' tendencies. They are physical down low.

But last night, the Warriors were getting the benefit of touch fouls, and the Grizzlies weren't getting the same calls. And I will never understand how the NBA chooses when to call traveling. Klay Thompson traveled at least twice late in that game. It was typical NBA trying to get a one seed back in the game, and the Grizzlies just made plays.

Are you kidding? How many times did Gasol get touch foul calls last night? Anytime he freaking moved in the first half the whistle blew and he shot free throws. Grizzlies outplayed GS last night, got the benefit of Curry missing a ton of good looks he normally makes and they definitely deserved to win the game. But complaining that the refs were somehow anti-Grizzlies last night is crazy.
