makes me mad. But i am so happy the way we played as team tonight. Patience. we will be the next OKC. first round exit this year, WCF next year, championships next
Not getting to the shooter doesn't matter. It was a clear offensive foul that would have negated that 3.
The Rockets as a team need to move on. We as fans don't. There are very few things that we as fans can have an impact on. Officiating is one of them. A big part of why OKC gets so many calls at home is their atmosphere. Same with the Lakers at Staples. They have 16,000 screaming fans who have the officials scared for their lives after every call they miss. They intimidate and manipulate them. If we shrug it off and say "stuff like that happens", it's going to keep happening. Every fan that's going to Game 3 and/or 4 needs to remember what happened tonight and come in angry. That's the best thing we can do to help the Rockets.
Arrest has gotten away with (among other things) slamming someone (Harden) in the head with his elbow intentionally and giving them a concussion, so why not?
its quite easy to miss, the grab only lasted a split second and Parsons did significantly over exaggerate trying to sell the foul.
I hear ya, but rather than everyone complainin cause the refs didn't bail us out in a tight playoff game... why didn't anyone rotate out on the shooter? We let OKC shoot uncontested 3s most of the game - typically with someone standing 2 or 3 feet away (I'm lookin at u Harden and Parsons - lol). Overall we played well... but c'mon, get yer hands in the air and in someone's face... (insert picture of Battier with his palm 2 inches from Kobe's face from a few years back)...
I've done the same thing Perkins did in intramural games haha. Only I didn't grab the guy's arm, I just held onto his back a little bit. Refs never see it.
Honestly a player like Perkins is a plus. Boston has Garnett who is a similar douche. Reggie Evans is also a dirtbag but has a crazy rebounding rate and makes hustle plays.
A LOST IS A LOST. ROCKETS SHOULD HAVE MADE FREETHROWS. PARSON SHOULD HAVE HIT THAT 3. OH WELL. GAME 3.
I'm pretty sure Barkley is drinkn bicardi which is one of the sponsors of the halftime show and not watching the games .
