    So you basically think Foster is a clean and accurate ref.

    Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals between the Kings (#1 seed) and Lakers(#3). Kings were up 3 games to 2. Donaghy alleged that it was in the best interest of the NBA if the series went 7 games. Two of the referees were "company men" who ignored fouls by the Lakers and made up fouls to call on the Kings, even ejecting 2 players. The free throw disparity was 40-25 in favor of the Lakers and the Kings lost by 4. Lakers also took game 7 and eventually the championship.

    dude our own team in 2005 got shafted against the mavs.

    we watch out of pure love and entertainment. it's sports, and for most of us, it's our hometown team. we have blind optimism that we aren't shafted by the higher ups and our guys can make the outcome solely in their hands. alas, it's not always like that though and refs can intrude in that aspect.

    i don't watch wrestling but there are millions of people who know it's scripted and kayfabe and still watch it so your logic that way doesn't really hold merit tbh

    bro WWE felt more real than this game 7.

    OMG. ESPN has the gall to post the 27 straight misses in a comp on YT. Bastards. We lost already.

    Just got home from work. Was watching the scores on and off. Deliberately scheduled a meeting over the last half so I wouldn't get too emotionally invested in it.

    Saw the results, was satisfied we had a great run and with CP3 out I felt we had still achieved. Then I got home and watched this video...

    OMFG. You know when Reginold ****ing-Warriors-Nut-Hugging Miller calls the missed fouls egregious that we watching WWE here.

    They weren't even getting blown out. If this was home court at GS, those "missed" calls will definitely be called. Again, you don't know how momentum works and when
    Lmao gtfo. Tim donaghy already admitted NBA referees fix games. What more evidence do you need?

    Jesus ****ing Christ even tim legner from espn said the refs screwed the rockets. Other nba players saw it, we saw it. There's a massive reddit thread about it too. And yeah we missed 3s but houston drove to the basket and the refs swallowed their whistle. So what the **** else are they supposed to do?

    The narrative will be "27 missed 3s lol Rockets." This is what people fail to understand. Getting those calls would have stopped the bleeding. Obvious moving screens on Bell and Looney to free up Curry and Young. just an absurd amount of obvious calls the refs missed last night.

    And yeah, this one is gonna hurt for a while. Cp3 is up there in age, Ariza and Tucker will be a year older as well. Just a demorilizing loss for Houston. and honestly, unless we sign another superstar a la lebron or PG, I don't see this team having the same success next year. This was our best shot at a title.

    This is tiring.
    They missed more (30 attempts) in game 5 yet they still won.

    it's not fixed. but it's bad/biased for one side. hence, the conundrum.

    All due offense, you don’t know basketball if you believe this stuff. Go learn the rules, come back, then we’ll chat.

    That Eric Gordon layup smother by 2 defenders was so obvious, it was hard to digest. That was murder on TV.

    No one beside us will remember us getting shafted by the refs. In a few years it would b we lost because Hardens a choker( not fking true), we lost cp3 (tru), warriors r 2 gud (lauaghable), and we missed a sht ton of 3s. U bring up fking stupid ass foster everyone's gonna call u a sore loser. I hate nba.

    JFCOAS, that moving screen, and the two non-calls on Harden threes.
