This Day in History 10/21/17: A Curry T'd Up is a Curry T'd Off

During a losing effort against the Grizzlies, the NBA champion Warriors' Steph Curry is ejected after overreacting to being called for a technical.  

‘Tis sad how hoops lives not up to its promise.

Its bones stand tall; its skin, withal, shows squamous --
as notes below the Welshman Dylan Thomas:

"The force that through the green fuse drives the flower...":
Was not said pressure loosen’d to empower
the ref who of Steph urg'd the early shower?

Scott Wall, that ref, ain’t black, nor Steph’s not white.
Still, notwithstanding such, was Curry right
to "not go gentle into that good night"?

Who’s quick to say, “That’s round ball nowadays”
would skirt these issues which the NBA’s
official rules – nor Dalton’s law! – won’t raise.
