    I wonder if silver is slightly worried that literally everybody like SAS, skip, media, owners, and players are actually calling the nba out on this game

    Like we literally have Mark Cuban defending us

    I saw this in real time and was screaming at my TV. I don't think I've ever seen refs hold up the fast inbound like that. It seemed very clear it was to let GSW set.

    They won’t admit it since it isn’t in the last 2 minutes of game

    League isn't even going to bat an eye at any of this. As frustrating as it is to watch, none of this should be surprising.

    Yes, those were fouls but it would be foolish for Harden and Rockets to continue depending on refs calling out such fouls every time. Harden released the ball before getting fouled and missed those shots anyways. So it is not like the foul actually altered the shots in my opinion. Harden needs to take a higher percentage shot throughout this series and activate his mid-range shots and throw off the defense. Harden relies too heavily on refs calling the fouls rather than finding easy opportunities. Even if refs do call out the fouls next game, which I think GSW will anticipate, Harden needs to improvise.

    See this is where I disagree. Klay is able to challenge the shots much more because he knows he’s not at risk of being called for a foul. If he was called, he wouldn’t be able to challenge the shot as much which gives Harden more space, thus better looks. It has an effect beyond just screwing Harden out of free throws.

    Man they'd instantly call a flagrant 2 and Harden would be ejected ….

    It looked bad, but I think he was cleaning the basketball.

    He rubbed it on his pants.

    It was a 4 point loss, even with all the NBA cheating in favor of the Warriors... after all the hit job they’ve concentrated on the Rockets for numerous seasons, the golden calf is getting exposed. Everyone has been calling out the Dub ref job, the Warriors were trying to hurt Harden. That crap wakes people up, and start realizing people’s lives don’t matter to these fools; only the splash brother money generation for the NBA.

    Sickening!!!!
