    yea GSW had 1 foul to give before being in the bonus. they fouled the free one and then JBB should have taken Howard out due to him shooting 1/4 at the line and then JBB kept him in there for the bonus foul and of course clank 2 ft's and next comes a Warrior 3 and lead cut to 1 instead of extending to 6. Then JBB kept Howard on the bench until the last possession lol

    That does say a lot about this team..... That they can play together and that they can succeed.... If they could put together the first half effort for a whole game even with Curry it be a tight close game.... Not getting my hope up but I do believe these guys can make a little more noise in this series....

    anyone who actually said that has no clue what they're talking about. there was absolutely nothing wrong with what Harden did on that last play. Iggy played JH like he was going all the way to the basket. When Harden changed direction that's just a great play on his part and should in no way be taken away from him. Great read on JH's part the way Iggy was defending him on that possession

    They kept calling it an offensive foul on First Take, of course.

    It's hard to be loud when you're underwater

    Yeah, it's ridiculous...and i'm sure that all the dirty moves of Bogut and Green are just good plays, lol...

    I watched closely on the replay, and there wasn't much push from
    Harden. You could tell from the 'back' angle camera that it was
    simply a Iggy flop trying to get a call

    But it was almost laughable how Capela got that 'illegal' screen call
    by doing nothing but having a GS player flop, when Bogut and Green
    practically mug every time.

    Refs should be ashamed.

    They seem TOTALLY vigilant on one end and blind on the other

    thats just salty bandwagon talk. seems like everybody backing Harden heavy after this win. feels good scrolling through a comment section and people actually have something nice to say about your team

    And was so slow to change Beverly's defensive assignment even after Livingston kept abusing him over and over and over.

    Have watched less than a dozen games all season and have not watched one game in this series.

    I said that if they even made the playoffs (I wish they didn't) and win at least "1" game vs GW then to me they won morally the series :).

    Good Job Rockets.. You won.

    Yep...Rockets got their one win...now they can lie down. lol

    Or, they can amaze the world by taking one more! Just don't bet on it. Green is going to come out and play with a mission. So is Thompson. I doubt they repeat those sub-par performances in game 4.
