    Maybe he is experimenting with lineups. Who knows.

    That was my point. That newb was being disrespectful towards a long time contributor to our discussions. More like being protective of the fam.

    Go to any college or high school game and watch the players warm up. At least one person on each team tries to emulate the stepback three that Harden has perfected. People want to be Harden. If that's the case, the NBA would not lose money if Houston was in the finals.

    This bs refs situation won't last 7 full games so if we flat out crush it, we can win regardless of the refs. Our dry run will end eventually.

    in last season's WCF, 5 out of 7 games were rigged. we made so many 3's in game two that the avalache was simply too much for mauer & malloy & fraher. but we lost each of the other games:

    game one -- foster brothers spooner
    game three -- marc davis
    game six -- the return of mauer & malloy
    game seven -- foster callahan

    this is nothing new. just ask the blazers, kings and mavs. the actors change (remember crawford & bavetta?) but the screenplay remains the same. it's a great formula for the league to continue collecting both at the box office and the merchandising arena off the broad spectrum casual fans.

    Last 2 minute report said Capela's kick ball was intentional and should have been called and didn't even acknowledge any contact by Valenciunas on Capela before the foul that very conveniently occurred with 0.1 left and was not reviewed.

    These reports have steadily become a bunch of bullshit, they never admit to blowing a crucial call in crunch time unless the Rockets gain advantage. Just more evidence of a rigged league, nothing to see here, move along

    Had been refreshing the page just to see what was said... and to not acknowledge that foul on Valenciunas on Capela before the BS 0.1 foul call is pathetic.

    Not that it would have changed anything, but just shows the league would rather save face than hold their refs accountable.

    Even analysts get a script, sure, Tmac running his mouth is a common thing now and it has been the case as a Rocket.

    Someone has to play the part that disagrees with Paul Pierce which is a tough job. Everyone would be against you!

    The point is refs missed calls on both sides, up to the players to win the game.

    same ref who screwed us at MEM, with a very similar foul call with basically no time left in OT. both kay-dee and stephenie going to get fined for their comments on Marat Kogut here. but most interesting to me is what fisher says at the 7:20 mark about refs purposely trying to keep games close to hold the viewers:
