Harden was not going for the foul. Look at the game again please. Every time he attacked the rim he was being scrapped acrossed the arm or being pulled from behind.
We've been battling the official all season long, so what makes anybody think things will be different in the WCF. You do know the Warriors and Curry are favorites by many, therefore these refs will not call it evenly. We just have to fight through it and handle our business. Rockets in 6.
They addressed this and said that since he was running on the break (even though he didn't have the ball) that he was part of the play and therefore the foul wasn't away from the play. LOL
Plenty of moving screens, but they need to run through them to get the foul call. Multiple times they try to run around the pick and make minimal contact. Force the call!
It's a tough situation, because the Rockets will NOT be able to get away with the same thing the Warriors are doing. And we won't be able to playoff-foul, because we'll get called for flagrants for playing too rough with the league's favorite child. We're playing the Golden State Lebrons. Curry's MVP trophy should have been a tiara. I still felt good about how we looked, and we did only lose by 4 in their arena. I think with a fews adjustments, we can actually win the series in spite of the dodgy reffing crap.
Blatant illegal screens where the screen was never set.. I remember Cuban complaining to the league about Yao setting illegal screens after they lost the first 2 games a couple of years back.. refs then started to call those fouls and the entire series changed. Let's see what happens in game 2. Those non calls on Harden were criminal.. a foul is a foul no matter if it's the regular season or the playoffs!!!
Can't believe I'm saying this but give me some Joey Crawford for Game 2. C'mon Joey, I know you have it in ya!!!

Terry tried to run through a moving Ezeli screen and got whistled for the foul. They're just not going to call them it seems...
