ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Warriors 5/27/2015 (Western Conference Finals, Game 5)

LOL we sure do like to whine about refs, don't we?

No team with Harden getting to the line should be whining so much about the refs. A lot of our offense is predicated on exactly that and that's why we're successful.

Rockets get our fair share of calls and GSW don't get some. It's just those with blinds on that see it from one side only.

geez, how do you guys enjoy the game? You're probably looking at the game to see where a ref makes a mistake so you can jump online and say that. It probably takes the enjoyment out of the game and you miss most of the ups and downs, ebbs and flows of the game. Relax, watch the game.
Refs are not the reason we are 3-1 down.

 

If the Rockets win tonight, the Warriors start worrying.

 

Those refs is what you get when Dwight does his strong arm move against a weaker opponent (Boguts)

I can already picture Rockets winning handily in the 4th quarter and Dwight receiving his mystery tech. We're due for one each series.

 

it's ova

 

if the rox win tonite, the only bullet they have left is maybe bringing violet palmer and see if that kills us

 

i wonder how much the line moved after those 3 refs were announced :grin:

 

Lol everyone complaining the refs. Wasn't this crew the one ones who officiated game 7 last series?

 

Cmon rockets, the greatest NBA comeback of all time starts now. Clippers were just an appetizer for the main course.

 

that game had mike callahan, who seemingly had to make every call for the rockets from the other side of the court since brothers/mauer refused to blow their whistles. tonite's game substitutes ed malloy for callahan. the rockets attempted 5 ft's at CHI this past january with malloy as the lead official.

 

You already know that tonight every incidental contact the rockets make on the warriors will be called as a foul. Harden and Dwight will be hacked in the lane with little to no calls. If we have a lead the refs will try to turn around by gifting the Warriors with free throws. It will be game 1 all over again.

 

Some fans here are so desperate, try to find anything to blame for an expected defeat tonight.

Just enjoy the game, and cheer for the team.

 

expected defeat? why is that?

 

Nothing desperate about it. It's just the truth.

 

exactly.

and i bet the sub of callahan wasnt an accident.

 

Because history is not on the side of teams down 0-3. Because the Warriors are 45-3 at Oracle Arena all season(including 4-0 against the Rockets).

I'll be watching the game and pulling for the team. But honestly I'd be stunned if they won tonight.

 

Exactly.

Besides, has there ever been a game where fans have said "oh, thank goodness! YYYYYY and ZZZZZ are reffing our playoff game tonight!".

 

It's game day, I can't concentrate at work, All day I will be lurking the boards, injecting my thoughts into the threads and replying to comments I either totally agree or disagree with. But at 8pm cst, My eyes will be glued to a tv or projector screen as my life will be in the balance for the next 3 hours. Do I hear encore, or is it curtains?

 

Win or lose, guys show some damn heart tonight. No game 3 like games left for me or my heart.

 

no wonder some bookies are already taking bets for the cavs-warriors series.

 

We did fine with them for game 7. Focus on the game, not the refs
