    ESPN could have pointed this out had they not been so busy watching Harden's hands all game.

    the fact they didn't notice this or kawhi's push off but gave us a nice slo mo of harden's hand grazing kawhi's arm (certainly didn't put any force to redirect kawhi) was all you need to know.

    The bias and unprofessionalism by ESPN was clear to see.

    I dont usually complain about these things but it was beyond egregious tonight.

    I keep saying over and over... WHY DO THE ROX PR GIVE ESPN AND THEIR REPORTERS ACCESS TO OUR PLAYERS?!?!

    They don't deserve it and they are not reporters. They are entertainers and entertainers shouldn't be treated as credentialed media period. Cut them out, give access to their competitors, until they start being objective.

    Clearly a Fuc$ job based on the video Doc is out in the middle of the court looking for a TO and the ref sure appears to engage with him but hey Lou hits the 3 and of course then he doesn’t want a time out. Absolute Horseshit is what it is !!! Be nice if the league hit the clippers with a big fine and DQd the game but yeah none of that is gonna happen total rig job that 4th qtr was.

    I won't ever go to a game or buy a jersey or anything. This league sucks and I'll watch their bootleg games, but won't ever finance it. The players deserve the money but the people behind the scenes do not.

    Docs a POS but I’m sure practically every other coach would pull the same thing if they let had a similar situation and outcome. Doc claims none of the refs saw him but clearly that ref looks to be engaging with him so that’s a straight up lie. He saw Lou hit that shot quickly and suddenly didn’t want the time out, the ref in question has to be culpable and answer to this, but the NBA protects those c%%ts like no other league so this’ll be sept under the rug of course ..

    ESPN - Hey let's promote NBA 2K20 with a sky cam view

    National Audience can't tell who are the players from far distance.

    It has been tough for me to be Astros, Rockets, Texans.

    I can't seem to enjoy games anymore, because media criticizing my beloved players.

    Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Derek Jeter all have been on steroids and cheated the game in one form or another. But media praises them like Immortals.

    At least he tried to call a time-out, where was MDA when it was 15 seconds left to set up a play? I just knew it was going to be a bad shot.

    Just NBA things.

    If this was the other way around Sportscenter would lead with...

    "Rockets win a big game but it ends in controversy..."

    I mean the refs right there...that's the game right there...I couldn't be an owner man, I'd be mailing this in to the leagues office and demand to know wtf is going on right there, that is inexcusable for the ref to ignore that and count a play where the coach is standing ON THE COURT.
