    I didn't see any missed calls against the Warriors. They mostly made layups and threes in transition/off screens. The reason we took the lead early on is because they hardly attacked the rim and drove it in. I will go ahead and say I recall a Josh Smith travel in the third quarter. You can clearly see and HEAR the second foul on Harden in the video. It is hard to keep up with the moving screens set in the first quarter of the video. Anyways, I am new to this. Let me know if you guys want me to stop or do the rest of the game. I will go ahead and get started on the second quarter.

    I left out things like Curry carrying the ball and taking another step, some push offs on rebounds, and screens where they move/stick their arm(s) past their shoulder due to bad angles.

    It seems you don't like me. Not gonna listen to you. Feel free to prove me wrong and show me the missed calls against the Warriors. I am being objective.

    Good video. You could make a video solely on moving screens. Keep going :)

    Is that the 2nd quarter? The 2nd quarter is where the problems began. We got calls earlier.

    It was pretty clear the refs decided to just swallow their whistles on Harden drives early. Very disappointing.

    Here is the video:
    I added all of Harden's stepback jumpers in the 4th quarter for your viewing pleasure.

    Recap:
    1. Harden could not get any calls on his drives throughout the game. I am shocked he only shot 6 free throws considering how aggressive he was the entire game. It should have easily been a 40 point night for him.
    2. The third quarter had the most moving screens for the Warriors.
    3. I am surprised not one moving screen call was made in the entire game. This definitely favors the Warriors considering the splash brothers are better than everyone in the NBA at shooting off the dribble.
    4. Bogut grabs and hooks Dwight every chance he gets when going for rebounds.
    5. There were hardly any bad calls against the Warriors. Maybe a couple of times where the Rockets were touching the Warriors on their back when they shot a layup in transition, but 1/2 went in. They did the same to Brewer except they would go for his hip rather than his back which is less noticeable. I noticed more contact on Josh Smith and other Rockets drives in transition which I didn't add. Jones looked like he fouled Curry on that three at the end of the game, but it came after a blatant push off which sent Corey Brewer flying.
    6. I left out a lot more (non)calls against the Rockets because they were hard to notice without me pointing them out and I did not want to seem biased.

    I woke up early to showcase the Warriors moving screens.

    2nd quarter recap:
    • There appeared to be one moving screen on Dwight in the 2nd quarter, but when you see the reverse angle showing how Bogut picked up a foul on Josh Smith it shows Harrison Barnes was grabbing Dwight's arm on the roll while shading him to make it look like a moving screen. He was trying to get Dwight in early foul trouble.
    • Draymond Green fell back onto Howard's left knee in the 2nd quarter. I added it. Also, added some extras in the 2nd Q showing how they got some calls that we didn't.
    • The Rockets started the 2nd quarter 31-24. They committed their 5th team foul at the 6:19 mark of the quarter. The FT difference was 7-2 in favor of the Warriors. The Warriors finished the half with the momentum up by 3 points.
    • The only reason we did not crush them on the boards when they went small is because they would truck, grab, and push Howard out of position.
    • I wish these games were on CSN, because ESPN angles suck and they don't show many replays when there's a whistle and a dead ball.
    • I thought Josh Smith traveled in the third. It was 2 steps.

    We need to bomb this stuff to Silver, Morey, etc.

    And especially any Rockets-blind ESPN commentator, analyst, ex-ref who's paid off or something, etc.

    One thing I have noticed is that on a skip pass to a corner 3 every team in the NBAsets a moving screen on the shooters man and it never gets called. Just because the screen is off the ball doesn't mean it shouldn't be called.

    Ridiculous.

    Reminded me of the Howard offensive foul call (BARELY anything there, particularly in the context of us not getting any calls and them getting the slightest of everything on the other end), the Harden light touch on transition against Livingston. I am used to seeing Harden not get calls on the drives, but those are CLEARLY fouls.

    I am still surprised not a single moving screen call was made in the game.

    When even Tirico is pointing it out then it should be obvious to everyone. Warriors had no chance in this game without the grabbing, holding, pushing, falling (beyond flopping), run blocking (moving screen does not do it justice) and refs opportune swallowing of whistles.

    Harden easily should have gone to line 15 times in this game instead of 6. Harden goes to line even ONE more time, results of game are different. The stench of desperation was in the air, and Warriors know they got away with one.

    I'm ok with letting the players play, but why is one player called differently than the others? Wasn't Van Gundy fined 100k for wondering the same hing about Yao?

    Please review these missed calls. Link can be found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVkzTr-op7U
    Some Key misses:
    1. Harden could not get any calls on his drives throughout the game. I am shocked he only shot 6 free throws considering how aggressive he was the entire game. It should have easily been a 40 point night for him.
    2. The third quarter had the most moving screens for the Warriors.
    3. I am surprised not one moving screen call was made in the entire game. This definitely favors the Warriors considering the splash brothers are better than everyone in the NBA at shooting off the dribble.
    4. Bogut grabs and hooks Dwight every chance he gets when going for rebounds.

    6. I left out a lot more (non)calls against the Rockets because they were hard to notice without me pointing them out and I did not want to seem biased.
    7. Specifically in the 2nd qtr
    A. There appeared to be one moving screen on Dwight in the 2nd quarter, but when you see the reverse angle showing how Bogut picked up a foul on Josh Smith it shows Harrison Barnes was grabbing Dwight's arm on the roll while shading him to make it look like a moving screen. He was trying to get Dwight in early foul trouble.
    B. Draymond Green fell back onto Howard's left knee in the 2nd quarter. I added it. Also, added some extras in the 2nd Q showing how they got some calls that we didn't.
    C. The Rockets started the 2nd quarter 31-24. They committed their 5th team foul at the 6:19 mark of the quarter. The FT difference was 7-2 in favor of the Warriors. The Warriors finished the half with the momentum up by 3 points.
    D. The only reason we did not crush them on the boards when they went small is because they would tuck, grab, and push Howard out of position.
