    I hate the pace of this game already. Ariza has no balls and neither does Anderson.

    Pop is smart, foul James every time and see if the refs call it. It's what I would do

    Pop no doubt called a timeout to coach the refs on how to call the game

    Someone needs to punch Gasol in the face.

    James Harden you owe me a coke. I said thank you the same time he did.

    As frustrating as it is, James has to keep going and try to finish inside through the contact. It's so important for the offense that he keeps driving

    May I know if there is any live stream that is working?

    (My apologies if this is not the place to ask but I don't see other threads for such question)

    That phantom foul on Beverley will sum up this game. Rockets frustration will boil over now knowing they have to hit every shot to win and will lose. Series is 100% rigged for the Spurs.

    It's not necessarily that the refs will always make calls for the Spurs, but that the refs pick their points to penalize the Rockets knowing a burst is coming from them.

    Only way around it is for the Rockets to get the lead and block out the refs

    Refs are literally shiot. But Rockets shooters matching them.

    that fastbreak takeaway by the refs was all you need to know for the whole game. that is literally never called on anyone and you pull that out on the first play of the game practically? on a play the defender had absolutely no chance interference or not? that's just saying "we're going to screw you over" right away. there is no other interpretation of a call like that. this is a league that goes out of it's way to not call traveling palming fouls whatever to stop highlights, dunks, fastbreaks, etc. but the rockets get it and it's called? after game 2? what a shock.

    Still fuming over that offensive foul on Bev. Thats a CLASSIC example of the refs cheating for the other team

    Ariza has literally NO ability to dribble. It's uncanny.

    No, we're fine. It'll end up being a blowout.

    Doug Collins has already made more sense than Reggie Miller did in the first two games combined
