What's that....? Another thread to collectively prepare ourselves to whine about being wronged and offended?
Leborn team always has privilege, u must play a great lead game instead of few point game. Foul out and ban to play are controlled by refuggees. Houston should have more 3 point shooters and good bench players to ensure foul out happens
How on earth can anyone watch the OKC VS HOU game and not think the refs made terrible calls to bring the Thunder back into the game?
the def 3sec call on bev 0.8sec after he was in the paint, and the foul called on harrell when kanter bumped off of him.. were both textbook "hold the tnt viewers" whistles
EXACTLY MAN! Let's not forget the IMAGINARY foul they called when Alex Abrines was going up for the layup. Literally no contact but was called a foul... It's an embarassment.
It's the calls and the NON CALLS Rockets getting mugged in the lane . . . that will make players timid about going into the lane Changes the complexion of the game Rocket River
God bless you. I thought it. You posted it. I don't like to blame refs, but there were a few phantom calls going on in this 4th quarter.
THANK YOU! That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying they PICK winners, but they definitely keep games close. ESPECIALLY NATIONALLY TELEVISED GAMES. it is Painfully OBVIOUS yet no one wants to address this problem. I don't understand why.
It's like there are 3 teams playing each game. Towards the end of games I not only worry about Rockets making smart plays, but mainly I worry about some sort of TERRIBLE CALL from the refs.
Generally you'll get individuals patting you on the hand while puffing on their pipe while saying, "Now, now, son, fair is fair. Let's not blame the referees." The Montrezl / Kanter "foul" was fairly egregious. The Rockets couldn't even look at the paint; the Rockets' slightest motions were a foul, the Thunder were getting the ref look-away: "I didn't see it."
They should be held accountable. That's all I'm saying. The NBA acts like they're being transparent with the Last 2 minute report but that doesn't address a darn thing. We should know how NBA evaluates refs performances. Or the entire game should be called from NJ. why allow the chance of human error?
Because they are. Maybe a little ticky tack on one or two but they were pretty much on point. 1st pretty obvious loose ball foul. 2nd pretty obvious block. 3rd pretty obvious contact and hack job. 4th was kinda ticky tack but on the replay you see he does hit his arm. 5th one I'll concede, was a straight rip. But 1 out of 6 calls does not rig a game. 6th was a pretty obvious contact foul and a helluva dumb decision for someone with 5 already. The tech was well deserved too, that was a hissy fit worthy of a pink skirt and pig tails.
Are we really going to go there? Good, because I think ridiculous plays that NBA players get away with traveling are actually pretty funny Spoiler
It did seem like OKC was getting more beneficial whistles throughout most of the 2nd half, but I don't think it was done on purpose. Plus, they did call the foul on Nene at the end so can't be too mad.
Lebron James did not say the NBA is corrupt and rigged. You just made that up which defeats the purpose of your post.
I did not make this up. However, since I can no longer find the video, I will delete that portion from my initial post.
I'm referring to 15-16 season finals. LeBron gave a post game locker room interviewed after game 5 or game 6.
