ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 4/28/2019 (Playoffs Round 2, Game 1)

Pretty much this.

If the Rockets get every call in game 2 it would be justified as this point. They actually took this game from us.

Sure, ______ should have played better but we weren't going to play perfect and we shouldn't be expected to play perfect just to have a chance to beat them. They didn't play perfectly either.

I'm not even asking for the refs to get them all right...but for them to miss it every single time...

 

The problem is that while the media/press seems to cover today's bad officiating better than lat year's Game 7 WCF, but while addressing today's issue they should bring last year's truth also to show that there is a pattern. The bottom line is a certain team is favored all the time.. may be next game they'll call some of those fouls but will rob Rockets in a different way.

 

Pretty much this, but with fire shooting out of my ears.

 

Should Hartenstein come in just to punch Draymond in the mouth?

 

Are they???
I am beginning to think not

Rocket River

 

HOWEVER??!
However, if Harden had been awarded the 9-12 FT's he was supposed to,
we easily win this game and people like you have much less to complain about.

 

i.am.beyond. pissed. But atleast the refs were called out on twitter today. they might just go half blind next game and not full blind. this series might be the only series that will get high ratings and gets the attention of CASUAL FANS and the refs are ****ing it up big time.

 

Always give @The Cat a listen

 

People seriously feel
bad for Harden? I get what your saying, but if you think they are not calling things on purpose then you need to be willing to do whatever. Especially as the star making crazy money. If Harden like all other players just continues to play and say it’s not fair, then don’t expect any sympathy from me.

 

So many things could have changed this outcome regardless of the horrible officiating. Our rebounding was bad. Faried could have helped with that. No excuse for Clint only taking 2 shots. That is unacceptable. Feed him the ball more! No excuse for Nene outrebounding Clint. I'm so tired of all the tries at drawing fouls and forcing 3's instead of passing it around more. Paul needs to be more aggressive taking 3's. Last, but most important, Kerr and his team need their a**es kicked next game for undercutting our shooters and those officials need removed from sports for allowing it to continue.

 

Also compounding the situation is that several of those 'non-calls' came off the rim
and went back the other way for GSW points.
So NOT ONLY do they take away potential 3 FT's from us, GSW turns them into 2 points on the other end.
James ends on the floor from having been crowded on the shot and can't get back.
That's a 5 point swing on 1 possession.

Then, 'OOOPS, sorry coach, we missed a few' ends up covering 15 points for GSW.

 

GS is the luckiest team in the history.. every championships of their were either gift from referees or key players from opponent team got hurt...some of the injury actually was caused by them (Pachulia -> Kawhi )

 

The Rockets and Harden should know more than anybody that they don't get all the same calls they got in the regular season in the playoffs. I'm confused by his comment.

 

Weak, weak, weak!!! You’d think there’d be some fire there. Our guys just taking the L like this. If they don’t come with a different attitude for game 2 and punch Warriors in the mouth - figuratively - then they deserve to lose.
