Depends on their attitude, I agree with all those fans and casuals / haters that Rockets do excessively whine so it's time to stop. Yes the Warriors do it too, but not often does it let them lose their composure whereas Harden tries even harder to get a foul called and lie on the floor so it's 5-on-4. Complain later and just play on, cannot let it stop you from playing defense. If they focus on the refs, we're done in 4. There were plenty of issues that we need to overcome, but it's only a 4 point loss and what was from both sides a mostly awfully executed game. More so from our side, but they committed way too many turnovers and we failed to capitalise. We didn't deserve to win either, so let's play our game in game 2.
kawhi vs harden sounds promising. the new king of the east vs the beard. if they cant market that to the casual fans then they need to change career.
No doubt about it... Took us shooting like sh*t, Refs against us, Clint playing like a B, and Harden missing everything............ for them to win by 4. Love the Rockets effort on D... The Rockets in 6.
There are rules for "whining" too Dude. You can get a T for "excessive whining." Are you saying the Rockets deserved more fouls, for whining? Or do you agree that the Rockets were within the rules when "whining"?
Maybe I'm just getting too old. I love the Rockets and all, but they'll be OK, whether the league is straight or not. Even if they get screwed by the NBA, they're getting paid. I'm paying the NBA. . . . To screw me?
If Foster refs one of our games, he's going to err on the side of favoring the Rockets to destroy the narrative that it's fixed. Trust me. If he has another bad game, where it's as clear as that Lakers game he's going to be phased out. The Owners will see to it, I really think that. Cuban speaking out on Twitter is step one to the outrage of the refs. Foster hasn't been an official in a Rockets game since that night and he can't just appear and fix another game without outrage.
If they do they're going to have to beat Scott Foster's BS as well...I had hope until I heard he was officiating. This league is such effin BS.
