It is getting to be outright ridiculous hoe James gets the calls but a former MVP in westbrook gets tattooed on a regular basis and just not get his just due. Morey needs to be sending tape in on these incidents it leads to Russ getting out of control playing revenge basketball. I know he needs to show more poise but the guy is getting hit alot
Westbrook is dealing with the fallout from all the fouls harden draws, and the fan/media hatred from all the fouls harden draws. Westbrook is going through the same thing Eric Gordon has gone through. While we hate how much Eric cries to the refs about being fouled, he should definitely get to the li e way more times than he does. The refs simply dont want the Rockets getting to the line 50+ times a game like they actually should, because its bad for business.
I’m actually shocked our team doesn’t get more technicals. The one offensive foul they called in Westbrook in the fourth quarter was all I needed to see to vote yes. Dude was moving and reached his arms out to grab Westbrook yet the ref called a charge.
Harden has not been getting calls since the Rockets protested the missed dunk in San Antonio so Idk what OP is talking about there. He was averaging around 15 free throws a game, but in the 12 games since he has been to the line at least 10 times in only 3 of them. If u think that’s just a coincidence then u need to open your 3rd eye. Now u want Morey to send tape to the league complaining about non-calls for Russ? Look, the league is sick and tired of Morey. He called them out in the playoffs last year. He cost them money with the Hong Kong situation. He made the league have to “discipline” their own after the fckery in San Antonio. Morey sending tape won’t change a thing, it might even make things worse.
last nite's game was particularly egregious because the ref crew was uber incompetent aaron smith and natalie sago should not be working nba games. these idiots are a missed call a minute on average
i'd rather the refs do it now then change the way they ref him in the playoffs.... russ and harden need to realise they're aren't going to get some of those calls, so make a play rather than turn the ball over and whine to the refs while not getting back on D.
Westbrook takes so many bad shots that is why he doesn't get calls. Usually an out of control player gets less leeway with calls.
