ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/26/2018 (Western Conference Finals, Game 6)

The refs were a joke in the second half. Ridiculous.

 

I am tired of watching Green,Curry and others grab jerseys on a fast break and PNR's...BLANTANTLY, a blind man could see and nothing called...bumping Jimmy and EGO going to the basket and nothing and then phantom calls for the Warriors. If they beat us, they beat us but we shouldn't have to play 5 on 8 every game. CP3 should have slapped shat out of that ref over there...don't look like he's playing anyhow...or Chianuku or whatever his name his...he's Vipers material anyway.

 

No, because it comes back to bite you in the behind. Back in the last championship drives, our team and the First Lady of Houston Elise Lanier publicly criticized the referring and the Refs swallowed their whistles for a couple of years. It's best to complain about the referring behind the scenes with the NBA...trust me Morey will be handling it as we speak.

 

No I don't. I know these guys can't do what Harden does. That's why MDA will have to sacrifice something to get Harden rest. Maybe the sacrifice it the lead or watching eye-searing bad basketball, but Harden will be rested and he can pull the Rockets through on fresh legs.

 

Harden ain't **** without CP3.

 

I like how he played that.

If you can read between the lines (or between the giggles) he said the officiating was fuking BS and the league, including Adam Silver, should be fukn embarrassed by that BS. Lastly, I thought the refs had vision benefits thrown in w/Medical/Dental- but I guess not.

 

It's true...I watch the boxscores along with the game. I did not get back from a company function until the last quarter.

 

there's nothing morey can handle on this. the league is heavily invested in GS for ratings and merchandise sales. harden is dark with an osama beard which can't compare with GS golden skin boys. morey playing nice and assertive behind the scenes is not going to convince silver to forego his cash cow. and the other 28 owners in the background won't agree to it either. in the end it's all about bucks and fertitta is just there at their pleasure to keep his mouth shut and be happy with his cut of the $

 

You mean you think it is possible to screw us more than tonight ? If it's a ballgame, the refs are NOT ALLOWING us to win...go check my posts...said it all along. Officiating didn't beat us but it damn sure turned the tide of starting things rolling down hill. JMO. But OK if you say so..must be what they think since they've said nothing.

 

Yea I know, refs screwed us, it is what it is...sigh. It just sucks that I dont feel theres an adjustment we can make.

Haha, lol sorry that wasnt directed towards you at all. Just our current situation.

Fair enough

 

Our crowd is going to be the difference on Monday.

 

silver's crowd of 3 is more likely the difference maker imo

they've gone all out to rig this series already, 4 out of the first 6 games

i really can't see them allowing GS to miss the finals and lose those tv ratings

 

Guess what I'm thinking is we've had 6 games of this BS and I've not seen any change in officiating. I'd rather have PUBLIC OPINION know and be involved than trusting Silver and the NBA. Like asking Silver if he wants you to beat the hell out of his kid.

 

I didn't see the whole game, but I agree the officiating in the 4th was horrible. But complaining about it publicly WILL DEFINITELY make it worse than anything you can imagine. Yao and Mutombo had career ending injuries in the same year. They carried opposing bodies on their backs the entire season. The refs let them get worn down by swallowing their whistles...all because we complained.

 

Why after each GS win a player joins the desk on TNT? Yet never for our wins? It’s bullshit like this that reinforces this is a rigged league and they are just setting up another Warriors Finals to cash in on this team and the enormous bandwagon it has.

 

Nah I think Gordon came on for Game 5 yea?

 

While I do agree the league would vastly prefer the Warriors in the Finals(even moreso if the Celtics win tomorrow night), how long will the ratings remain high? Sure, they're great for this series because everyone was looking forward to this matchup since pretty much November. But the Warriors smoking the Cavs(or undermanned Celtics) is not gonna keep people tuned in. Especially if this is what we're subjected to year after year.

 

They also had PJ Tucker after one win too.

 

Hear you but it's not about the season...it's about the CONFERENCE FINALS where the series has been called with extreme bias and prejudice...even in the games we won. Why is defense not allowed on Durant ? Why is Jimmy and EGO and Ariza allowed to receive hatchet jobs and no foul but if wind hits the Warriors it's a foul...what about a fair ball game ?

6 of the Warriors 17 fouls were called against their starters....us ? Uhh 14 of 16 !! I'm saying 11 of the Warriors fouls were called against non starting 5. Jimmy 4, EGO 4....I mean RIDICULOUS offensive fouls on Jimmy. Just wrong.

 

you are a sophisticated basketball fan in the top 0.1 percentile. but for the bandwagon worrier fans (and i have encountered these people in even the most remote corners of the globe) it's still going to be a great show well worth tuning in for. the rockets with that black osama guy -- not so much
