    Me either. I lost a lot of respect for the league that game. I’ll never fully trust that it’s a fair system again.

    Anyone else hoping he namedrop Scott Foster? We want current refs, not retired ones.

    Don’t forget about game 6 either...
    The series against the mavs was fixed as well.

    or game 1 of the semi-finals last year where Harden was undercut so many times - this after being hit in the eye and having to play with a bloodied eye the entire 2nd half.

    This is why I get so frustrated with Harden. We know this sh-t is rigged. Stop looking to these fools to help. If they have a vendetta, there is no amount of pleading and looking at the refs that will help. Harden will have to push through the corruption, especially now that the Lakers are back.

    Man, the blatant screw job was made even more frustrating when the media agreed the no calls were terrible, but accused the Rockets players and Rockets organization of whining.

    In the past many clutch fans posters have been ignored or critically scrutinized for bringing up the obvious. Leslie Alexander's last post season with the team he gave instructions for Harden and the Rockets to quit against the Spurs yet hardly anybody noticed.

    haven't watched a single game since that wc finals and i am much happier for it. i will do the occasional highlights and articles, but not having invested so much into the nba is a good feeling. i dunno how some of you brehs do it with the league and media so biased.

    Not to mention Donaghy's partner-in-crime, Scott Foster.

    Tony Brothers, Scott Foster and Ken Mauer are top 3 heavy hitters.
    plus other two refs from that KD out of bound play when we played them last year. can't remember their names.
    there should be more..will add more names to list while the games go on this year.

    That tit-for-tat with Iverson made my skin crawl. Friggin' refs.

    I would consider Tim Donaghy a whistleblower. Too bad the FBI works for the NBA

    Because we're 100% sure they've done the same BS to Harden & other Rockets like CP

    They have not just talking about seasons long prior but in the latest Playoffs series against gsw. Thompson repeatedly got under Harden's landing spot but no call and then there's Green's multiple attempts to gouge his eyes out with no repucussions.

    I liked following the off-season more but with Tilfart and Son of a Tilman ruinning the Rockets through LTS, nothing much to get excited over.
