    But what I'm saying is that the general public is under the illusion that it's a fair game

    Tonight was so ****ing blatant and the commentators talked about it .

    even a simpleton could see how biased the refs were

    what I’m saying is the fans don’t care for a fair game when it comes to the rockets.

    They hate harden and find joy in him not getting calls because of the perceived narrative that the refs “give” him calls for “flopping”.

    Haven’t you seen on Twitter and Instagram people always gloating how “harden won’t get those calls in the playoffs”

    They know what it is and they love it

    I hardly care about the outcome at this point. We know the outcome based on what’s going on right in front of us. Game 7 last year was the same thing. We just know what the league wants.

    Holy crap. Jazz indirectly sticking up for the Rockets.

    This is the apocalypse that has been written about.

    **** I think you're right .

    I checked r/ NBA

    They all are hating on harden for trying to sell contact in the second half .

    I really wish he hadn't done that . He should have just taken the shot like in the first half .

    That way , it gives the refs a chance to redeem themselves . I'm sure they were feeling some pressure at halftime . Those were BLATANT missed calls , one bordering on a flagrant .

    And harden didn't flop of embellish much .

    That's the only thing I wish was different . Make them **** us twice . If they keep it up to start the half you put in nene , foul the **** out of a GS player .... then put in scrubs the rest of the way . Make a ****ing statement . Don't take **** lying down

    the refs were so bad, ESPN is talking about it! Jalen Rose is asking Steve Javie if there is any discipline for bad officiating. The hashtag HOUvsGSW and Klay is trending because of bad officiating..

    If they do it next game the very least that needs to happen is the Rockets need to defend their players the same way.

    They are allowed to change the rules to create the game they want, it’s just supposed to happen in the off-season, voted upon, and then implement with enough time for teams to adjust. You can’t change them in the middle of the playoffs! Ridiculous

    Jesus isn't in this thread, and this post is useless, and you should feel bad.

    Absolute bullshit all throughout the game. It's also exceedingly annoying how they gave a few makeup bad calls in the third just so that the blind sheep can have some **** to throw back our way and say that the officiating was bad both ways. They gave Curry 5 fouls so that we couldn't complain then purposefully ignored several instances where he should've gotten his 6th. Disgusting.

    This is exactly right. They could have **** this **** off for the entire series with 1 or 2 calls in the first half. They didn’t. It’s basically over if the dubs can recklessly contest and foul with no reprucuasions on every 3 point shot.
