I happened to notice his name in the box score under technicals. What?! So a little googling and
this blog post came up. It seems that Steph is really becoming a star.
Coming into this week, Curry had a grand total of one technical foul
in his career. Just one. It came so inconspicuously that I can’t find a
single reference to it anywhere, other than that it happened.
Personally, I can’t remember it either. This one against the Nets was
memorable. After going down off a hard screen, Steph was visibly upset
with the referees, not only picking up the technical, but also having to
be held back before getting a second one. He was more visibly angry
than I’ve ever seen him, and he made sure the referee knew it.
As a fan of the Warriors, I’m not a fan of Warrior technical fouls,
as a general rule. But I didn’t mind this one. There were clearly points
in the first half where he hadn’t gotten calls, and he began the second
half not getting them, as well. The Warriors trailed at the time, and
from that point on, they really controlled the game.
