    Considering Scott Foster is officiating tonight's game, something's got to give.
    There are several possible angles here.

    James & Co. are 0-6 with this jacks$$ manipulating things.

    CP is 0-9 with Foster.

    He probably hates Paul the most, but it's close.

    Now, as to what the League wants...
    One reason I could see them shutting us out is because we might very well be able to beat LA. ..busting up an all LA WCF.
    There's also the China audience who wouldn't be able to watch due to their govt. banning the Rockets.

    On the other side, Hou/LA is an attractive series, while OKC is just fresh meat for the Lakers.
    It also features star power with Beard and Russ.

    Simple, do 2 things we've done well majority of the series:

    1. Play good team defense
    2. Keep turnover numbers low

    We do these 2 we win.

    China not broadcasting a potential Lakers/Rockets series is big. Will Silver allow money to go down the drain?

    You can't make this **** up. Ofcourse Scott Foster will ref against us again, we haven't won a single playoff game with him reffing.

    Tilman will fire Morey if we lose tonight, book it. D'antoni's contract ends this season and will probably go coach the 76ers for an absurd contract.

    I called it before G7 we were guarantee to lose in a game filled with fishy calls and surprise surprise, that's exactly what happened.

    I thought it was interesting too. Foster definitely 100% has a thing against CP3.

    Maybe he'll just throw both guys out

    What if nba ordered them to make the stupid mistakes? those who order refs to make intentional mistakes are not above doing the same with individual players

    lol rockets are banned in China. So that means a lakers/ rockets series would not be viewed at all in China. Plus the league is already hemorrhaging money because of the pandemic

    Damn didn't realize Rox were still banned. Tencent has a $1.5 Billion deal to stream NBA games in China through 2025. I don't think they'd be too happy blacking out a Lakers series.....or the WCF. Finals.

    Imagine a double ejection in the first minute of the game for CP3 and Harden. Sets up the story for Westbrook (and only Westbrook) to beat his former team.

    TNT - we know drama.

    you also must ensure that you insert the basketball into the rim at any amount higher than their performing same.

    Hard to manipulate anything if we get up by 30 in the first half. Make shots.

    Based on the last 6 games I doubt he will favor the rockets. Rockets better prepare for the game of their lives

    Im going to be f*cking heated if Harden goes out there and tries to get calls when everyone on earth knows he is not going to get a call. He needs to f*cking hoop!!!!! This **** is not about to be fair he needs to take the game and not leave it in the hands of an official.

    If there is no call he needs to get the f*ck up and sprint back, same with EG.

    All things considered I really can't make a decision. Will always hate him for what hes done to the rockets

    I just know the rockets shouldn't leave it for foster to even be the deciding factor tonight
