I do not think the refs are favoring the Hawks as a team. But I believe NBA instructs its refs to make the games as close as possible so that there would be more exciting endings like game winners or superstars taking over. We built a huge lead in the first quarter so the refs decided to help the Hawks to get back at our expense.
I'm not the biggest bev fan but who the f&@k thinks like this?? What, did you expect this team to go into ATL without Dwight and harden and play this tough let alone win??? How much do you think they practice set plays without harden and Dwight?? So many ungrateful idiots on this board.
Someone needs to go Dave Cowens on a Hawks player the next time we get a BS call. Just run down the court and clothesline Milsap and then yell at the ref "that's a f#%!ing foul!" I shouldn't be so emotionally invested in this game given that Harden is out, but it kills me to see the Rockets denied a legit victory by utterly biased refereeing.
Cmon guys, Mchale probably got a text from Morey to tank this game so Harden can win MVP. Mchales not that much of an idiot...is he?
