Already inconsistent and plain wrong by giving Wade AND1 which should not have been the case and not giving Harden AND1 yet giving him FTs. Please put more in this thread when you see it, thanks'!
Obviously, the NBA values the contenders records and the harder the reffing against the Rockets the more likely the Lakers make the 8th seed.
That should of been a foul. A defender must give a shooter room to land, but Ray Allen is right underneath Harden with his foot right under him. That's why Harden was upset about it and went right to the face of Allen because that's just a dirty play where you're trying to get someone to roll their ankle.
harden should go to the free throw line after he draws the foul at the 3-points shot. it's not the clean block.
I thought that was actually pretty legit - -though Chalmers was not completely set he beat Harden to the spot and had his upper body squared up to take charged right in the chest. The foul on Anderson (again it was stupid to drive in there like that at that stage of the game) I thought was more suspect as it look to me that Haslem slid into position after Anderson started to take off which should be a block call and not a charge
I know officials often make a lot of mistakes because of the speed of the game and having to keep up with some of the best athletes in the world is incredibly tough. But I know that a lot of times, some officials, not all, can be very biased when refereeing a certain game. I know the Heat are the world champs but its just unfair to other teams when the officials usually make calls based on prediction rather than what they see. Tonight there were a few bad calls that they made tonight. But the Rockets dug themselves a deep hole in the 3rd so I don't want to blame the officials for the lost tonight. Its tough to win in Miami when they are coming off a back to back and the Heat are well rested. The Rockets put up a good game but a few bad decisions down the line, few stretches where they can't hit a basket, some bad rotation on Mchale, and also a few bad calls by the officials gave the Rockets a L... But its a good strong performance by Harden who is going up against the top 2 players in the league and he held his own against those guys.
