    I’m seriously asking myself if there is even a point in being a fan of a team in the NBA at this point. It was ridiculous in game 6 how the officials gave the warriors all momentum they needed. Now they did the same thing in game 7. I’m pretty sure with every call gone right we’re up by 15 here.

    I’m seriously thinking about quitting watching the NBA. There’s really no point. If i want to watch scripted theater, I’d watch wrestling.


    Yes, the rockets missed 26 straight threes, but momentum is a huge factor in basketball...

    We are 7-42 from 3. Role players choked so bad its not even funny.

    Literally make a still terrible 12-42 from 3 and we would be up.

    Yes refs were really really atrocious but we had a good chance of winning still.

    I mean, I get it and I am with you.

    But we missed like 30 3-pointers in a row. We make 5 of them and we win.

    All these misses were after the momentum shift that was OBVIOUSLY induced by the refs.

    there is no point.

    the league hates the rockets, harden, and morey.

    enjoy the regular season because the nba will do everything in their power to stop the rockets for winning a championship with this group.

    Golden State was spotted 20 points. Can't win like that.

    To all those who say that the ref doesn’t matter, and that it’s our shooting itself that killed the game.

    There is unmeasurable positive correlation between ref calls and shooting momentum.

    Shooting needs momentum to pick up. Guess who took that away from the Rockets?

    Shooting needs momentum to pick up. Guess who gave that to the Fubs?

    Shame Shame Shame.

    I will remember Scott Fisher you god damn fool forever. He needs to go down.

    Atrocious.

    I was out of my mind in the early third at the refs, but then....

    27 three pointers in a row. 27 three pointers in a row. 27 three pointers in a row. 27 three pointers in a row. 27 three pointers in a row. 27 ************* THREE POINTERS IN A ROW.

    if the refs don't blatantly cheat in that 3rd quarter. the rockets are tied at worst going into the 4th and anything can happen.

    there's nothing you can do going up against 4 all-stars and the refs.

    Not disagreeing that refs killed momentum but 27 missed threes in a row, lots of them wide open? Guys like Ariza, Green failed us point blank. 0-11 shooting, 1-7.

    7-42 from 3. Harden 9-25. Nothing more to say. Harden is a great scorer on a team currently with no leader without CP3.

    Not quiet.

    Harden made one on a foul that was a clear shot attempt.

    Of course it was ruled as a non shooting foul.

    We've shot bad from three most of this series need to actually run a real offense with plays

    The team just seems to have zero emotional fight.

    I will not watch the finals. This is a sack of premeditated crap and an insult to fans.

    harden made a 4 point play and it was taken away.

    and he also was also fouled on 2 3 point attempts that took away 6 free throws, that also contributed to 2 "missed" shots on the boxscore,

    that's 10 possible points taken away. i haven't gotten to gordon getting body checked at the ****ing rim with no call.

    and the rockets are down 7 as i type this.

    Disagree. They're fighting on defense and driving and keeping it close. At some point you have to have some talent happen.
