Please stop complaining about fouls and get back on D

To be fair, I dont know how these guys avoided kicking the refs in the shins in the first half of that Dallas game.

But otherwise yes, I agree.

 

Jail house rules......no blood no foul should be the mentality. Only problem is Boogie and Eric Gordon think
blood is drawn every drive they take.

Im not a fan of either one of them. Yes, it can be contagious.

 

Yup, this whiny attitude is another legacy left by Harden, CP3 and Gordon. Against Dallas it was definitely the 1st half understandable, 2nd half it was the other way around to rectify it though.

 

JVG would never let that persist. He used to get on Deke for complaining to the refs

 

I actually think they do get fouled a decent amount, but they act like they're getting shot on EVERY single play. If I were a ref, I'd probably not give them many calls either because it's just a bad look. I feel like our team definitely whines about foul calls more than most teams.

 

Whoa whoa why drag CP3 into this? That was a championship squad in 2018 and the whining was actually refreshing against all of the enablement Golden State usually got to grab, punch, pull, undercut, and hold.

Throughout a whole season when you're not playing a hated team... different story.

 

I agree with this, it is infuriating. Fouls happen on both ends where refs miss the call or maybe it was a foul but not enough to call. One example is Wall trying to dribble between 2 opponents at the free throw line and then loosing the ball and complaining of a foul. Maybe he did get fouled but why are you dribbling into traffic at the free throw line? I tend to think that refs call fouls when you are being rightly aggressive and do not tend to call fouls when you are being reckless. This is why they will call a charge if the offensive player appears reckless or out of control even if the contact of the charge is minimal it will typically go against the out of control offensive player which is warranted IMO.

 

I was fine when Harden and EG were the ones doing it, but Boogie, Wall, Wood and a couple other players are always crying for a foul. 75% of the team can't be whiners. I wish the Rockets best players weren't always crying.

 

BTW, Boogie has no reason to complain at this point. I realize him, Wall, Gordon, etc. will never change but I really hope Silas calls them out soon because it will get worse. Look at yourself before you blame the refs for trying to dribble between 2 small guards or flop like you have been shot. Get up and play the game, have some fun since you have been deprived of it for so long.

Obviously Cousins, Wall, etc. are who they are which is passionate, fiery competitors. I get it but to blame the refs ALL OF THE TIME is a coward's way out. Look at yourself and see what you can change before automatically blaming someone else. I have a feeling it is only going to get worse unless Silas or a leader on the team speaks up. Maybe Tucker? He tends to complain when it is warranted but can keep his cool and walk off or get back on D when a call doesn't go his way.

Do we really think that ref is going to call a foul next time because Demarcus Cousins says it was a foul? From a ref's point of view, you always think it is a foul so why should I ever believe you?

 

Here you whine and get back to being defensive at the same time.

 

I would be more inclined to agree
If we didn't gets some of the softest bullsh!t bail the offense out fouls on our end.
There are times Our guys literally thrown to the ground with no call . .. only to hustle back and get called for a foul because the other team blew a layup.
untouched

People says . ..well if you more aggressive you get the calls
but in one game we were dominating the paint like 60 to 38
and the other team STILL had more free throws

I hate the ONE SIDEDNESS of it all

I understand when boogie gets a foul for just standing there
but goes to the other end and has his hand yanked off the ball by his arm with no calll

What the hell is with all the LATE WHISTLES this year
Seems like we start up court before the whistle blows

Rocket River

 

Right or wrong, fouls or the lack of foul calls almost never get overturned and none were overturned by complaining. We do waste time arguing when we should be getting back on defense (Gordon, I'm looking at you).

 

if no one complain about foul it aint nba

 

Rockets maybe the whiniest team in the league.
Rockets never foul defensively; always fouled offensively.
Or James turning it over and the “Ahh **** it” defense.
You turned it over! Don’t yell at your teammate or the refs, get your ass back!

 

I got to say that out of all these ridiculous and delusional threads in CF,

there is no more crazier and impossible than this one.

Even someone could mention that Harden and EG will both win a ring this year could have a higher chance than what OP had mentioned.

Because it is so true but yet it WILL NEVER HAPPEN!
