    I actually felt the refs were more on our side if anything.

    You need to shut up.

    Is there any Rockets player that playing well both on defense and offense?
    None.

    Most of them suck on both side.

    Anderson doesn't even want to shoot the ball. How the hell can he score if he won't even attempt a shot?

    They took Green out, with 3 personal fouls in the entire game? Or did he take himself out with a stiff-arm to Harden's face for no reason that wasn't called a Flagrant 1 and should've been?

    And we're going to act like 3 of the fouls on Ariza weren't just completely phantom?

    What do you have to say about that backcourt violation that should've kept the game at 5 points but swung it to 8 with 3 minutes left?

    I already said that we played like garbage and shot even worse, take your self-righteous troll job somewhere else.

    If this game didn't upset you then you're on the wrong forum.

    Defense lost this game.

    They have a day to fix that. I think they can

    Our bench has to show up. When your backcourt combines for 64, others need to show up to match their big 3 (scorers).

    Gordon, Green, Luc all have to show up and play better.

    We know what Green is. Streaky chucker. But Gordon and Luc need to be solid and they weren’t today.

    Overall play, rockets are gonna have to play faster and add some wrinkles to their offense to keep GSW off balance with their defense.

    A bunch of members have already been of the mentality that league wants GSW in the finals so they are just triggered by the refs. That missed backcourt violation sucked, but the Warriors were just better than us most of the game. The Rockets did not play with enough discipline and our role players didn't show up. It's hard to win against the Warriors because you have to practically be perfect. Durant really made them incredibly hard to beat.

    Ariza foul trouble, Luc going smell blind, Harden turnovers, and CPs random mediocrity aren’t recipes for success.

    I trust MDA to make some adjustments. I loved the way Capela was able to defend 1-5, dudes a beast. Just need a few other things to break our way.

    Exactly

    The timing of calls or missed ones change games

    Don’t see why you think refs favored Warriors. I thought we got lots of calls.

    They missed that one backcourt violation..

    We got home court.

    Yet, warriors take 25 ft...we took 21 ft, despite having Harden and CP3 that are always driving to draw fouls

    NBA is rigged.

    We can't win with TONY BRUTHA AND SCOTT FOSTER

    Wish we could learn not to blow the open shots we get......costs us so many games and almost defeats the purpose of Harden and Paul setting them up

    Durant took the soul out of basketball when he took less money to explore VC opportunities for the W's.

    Meanwhile we got couch bro like Gerald Green trying to guard him and a 54 year old capoeira grandpa.

    **** y'all Warrior fools. We are a real team.

    They're the soulless automatons that we are accused of being.
