    But has there been an active player to come out and say it? I honestly don't know the answer to that question.

    I personally haven't been paying that much attention.

    The refs did call one or two (out of 50) in game 1, didn't they? It didn't stop GSW then.

    Sames. Cj will probably get a fine for this, but he is smart and knew that before he even said it.

    CJ don't give a damn. He's brutally honest in all his interviews.

    It's essentially the same strategy that the Seahawks used a couple years ago. If you hold on every single play, the refs aren't going to call it every single time. Similarly, if the Warriors use an illegal screen on every possession, the refs aren't going to call a moving screen every time (even though they should.)

    Oh......I missed game one. I was flying home from a week long vacation and didn't have the opportunity to tape it.

    Or Network TV NBA Talking Shills?

    Is The Jet, during the TNT pre-game, going to go to the big screen and show examples of the GS moving-screeners clearing out the defender to open up space for the shooters?

    I'll wait.......

    Don't forget that part of being a smart player is getting away with little crap that happens on every single posession. Bogut and Green, the 2 screen setters, are both exceptionally smart players. There is some skill involved in what they are doing, (getting very close to) setting illegal screens and not getting called.

    I think he's OK....he didn't call out the refs or demand changes. If they were to fine him, it would just draw more attention to the issue and make the image problem worse.

    CJ pointing out what everyone who plays the Warriors learns in a hurry and what fans have known for a while. Glad he spoke the truth.

    Haha, it's the word you use to avoid getting fined.

    CJ has a future in coaching. Already working the refs.

    Are they doubling Thompson like the Clippers did to Damian?

    I'm sure it has crossed Stotts mind once or twice.

    I doubt it. Stotts doesn't double team. Ever.
