Well this has been around since forever as well as calling things differently in the play-offs. Also players raising their hand to make sure stars don't get the foul called has been around. I remember Worrell laughing when Olajuwon committed fouls and Horry or whoever raised their hand and the ref bought it. By the way, Klay had 2 early fouls and Mike Breen called that out but then said they called the 1st one on someone else. That and stars not fouling out is how this league has always been, so I don't mind that as much.
To me the most interesting part is that 100% of the incorrect calls were all against the rockets. Would really be interesting to see what % of the incorrect calls for the whole game were against the Rockets. I suppose this could essentially have multiple implications. If you want to view it from a blue pill viewpoint, it would mean that the Rockets style of play is more difficult to officiate accurately. The red pill viewpoint on the other hand is completely clear.
I am pretty caught up with all of the TD drama. and what do you know the rockets get the beloved Scott Foster after all the bs in the last 24 hrs. The one who the rockets hate the most. Lets see how this works out
It's so funny that all of us called this before Game 7 and again this time. It's like clockwork with the NBA. Those bastards are so effin predictable.
Some idiots in the media would continue to say that Rockets didn't shoot well or Harden couldn't make 3s and that's why they lost... however in basketball you only need to score 1 point more than your opponent to win...it doesn't matter how many shots you missed ...if you played good enough or better than your opponent then you should win... you can miss all your 3 pointers and score only xx points you can still win if you limit your opponents to xx-1 points or less. With anything close to fair officiating Rockets win last year's WCF + this year's game 1......even with so-called 27 continuous missed 3s in game 7 of WCF or poor shooting of Harden in game 1. Going by their logic I can say GS shouldn't have won game 1 since they had 20 turnovers... the point is in most games one or more category of stats going to look bad but that doesn't mean the team shouldn't win if they played good in some other categories.
