ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 2/21/2019

I feel like Brothers is more fair than Foster though.

HOLY SH*T I'm defending Tony f*ckin Brothers...but Foster is seriously disgusting.

 

Like et I never blame refs cause I think in the end it balances out. But I cant let this game slide. Just wow. Someone needs to make a youtube video pointing out the bad calls. If the can do james like that for bad defense. The refs should get same treatment for bad reffing

 

Dude, What are you going to do!? The league does not like the Rockets! Fans do not like the Rockets! Fans do not like Harden! No one is rooting for the Rockets! Everyone is going to be against this team. Are you not going to play in protest? Your only options are to survive and change the narrative, force the league to get on your side, or forfeit.

This sh-t has NEVER been fair. The NBA has been fair to a handful of teams since it's inception.

 

If that b**** Kerr were coaching the Lakers tonight, he'd still be on tv right now complaining about how harden drew a 3 point foul while travelling and elbowing his defender.

 

4 pts were taken away? More like this just shows you how bad the rig job was. Everyone jn the entire building knew Bullocks three was well after the buzzer yet they let it go to review? Lebron foot was way past the line and they had to review that too? Wtf, roles were reversed both those shots would been called correctly to begin with.

You play the game differently when you up 5 rather than thinking you only up 1.

 

Imagine if the Lakers fans who are the most biased fanbase believes the game was rigged.
Whining is not going to cut it. Coaches whine all the time and the nba just throws a fine.
You need to create a big scene so you bring real attention to the problem.

As I said I have seen many bad reffed games, but something like that not for a long time.

 

Harden and CP both fouled out but no one on the Lakers got more than 3 fouls....ummm yea thanks Foster and the NBA

 

I don’t know if sucked is the right word. 4 for 12 sucks... 1 for 12 is something else.

 

Im not, really Im not. I love Harden, youve seen my posts. I love both players, Harden has been carrying for awhile, but I think this streak is getting to him man.

 

What I'm saying is the score board shows you are down 1, you think you are down 1, then you magically are up 4. It's essentially a do over. Even with all the rigging to that point, with points not showing up on the score board, Rockets were still up!

 

The calls need to be made into a video on YouTube. This needs to go viral

 

At a minimum, I wouldn't pretend this game was fairly called. MDA's reaction was a start. They need to do a lot more to get some media attention to this. Embarass the NBA, take the fines, and hope that the refs are more restrained than vindictive. Because right now, after watching the WCF, I know we have zero chance if the refs feel like it is business as usual.

 

The loss boils down to:

1. We forgot how to close games since 2017-18
2. Lack of urgency - not living ahead of the moment, but caught up in it / concussed / glaze over eyes / 3s > 2s as default
3. Scott Foster

 

Is there ANYONE here who can explain how Harden "fouled" Rondo bringing the ball up in the 4th qtr.? Honest question.

 

Tony Brothers is 50% of what Foster is

 

I feel like the rockets struggles with bias officiating is a metaphor about racism or something.

Now matter how hard you try you just can’t overcome the system designed against you.

 

I get the refs were biased/trash. But we still only scored 16 freaking points in the 4th, including numerous garbage/low IQ prayers from deep. The pick & roll with Capela completely vanished, as did the entire team's shooting. This is like the 10th games they've choked away this season

 

nope because it was a phantom call

 

Please take a moment and tell us WHO he should have been involving....there were so many stepping forward...WHO ? Green,Tucker, Rivers, Capela, 5 minute Nene, EGO, Faried, CP3 (not in the 4th). Barkley is right...Jimmy can NOT have an off night and the Rockets win. So, this game is on Jimmy....how many of the 32 wins does he get credit for ? Bad night for Jimmy but,as he goes, so go the Rockets. And, that's a FACT !

 

Yes, but we could have won this game. This was definitely a winnable game. James cant shoot that badly from three and we cant play that poorly on defense(well it wasnt too bad tonight) and expect to win games.
