    It only seems to work consistently with Durant. I'd be ok with it if he were driving to the hoop and flailing his arms to get a foul call. It's not like Harden doesn't do that on a regular basis.

    But Durant is baiting the refs 25 feet from the hoop on most occasions and getting those calls. At least make the guy earn those free throws.

    Every single time the Rockets pick up their 4th foul, on the next OKC possession Durant does the swipe-through move and gets the call. The NBA has rigged this, watch for it.

    OKC is a team heavily dependent on ISOs. Honestly, they are not that good when RW is out. Durant takes a lot of shots and no one else is really good at create and facilitate shots. In opposite, if you look at Spurs playing w/o Parker at the end of the season, you will see what a really good team can do and why a great coach matters

    My immediate thought on seeing the thread tilte is that, somebody finally pointed out they fear us because the series could have been Rockets 3 to 1 now. The 2nd and 3rd gamee we could have won.

    Not sure that sounds very formidable. Sounds like they are ahead and we're chasing. It's true, but not that formidable sounding.


    I don't think they fear us yet, but as I said elsewhere, with each great run/play we make, they must be getting anxious, while each play they make should make us play looser and with more reckless abandon, which suits our style anyway.

    If we win there, they will fear us. Until then, it's just posturing.

    With all the acting he has done, and if karma exists, Fisher will have a career ending injury flopping on himself.

    Don't get me wrong, I would never wish injury on any soul


    except, he has no soul

    Fisher flops every time and the refs fall for it, some people call it a veteran move, i call it a b**** move and he needs to be fined

    It was sickening to see Fisher on the floor every play on defense and offense. What happened to getting fined for flopping?
