We was up 20 and I was still pissed about the calls he gets. If Harden played defense like that it would be all everyone talked about. When Curry does it he is just injured.
Rockets fans complaining about flops. Come one, now. Just enjoy the series, guys. The refs don't give a damn one way or the other who wins these games.
They are all a bunch of cowards on GS. Draymond pushing Ariza on the break. Harden being shoved off the court. It's an excuse to call this as playoff basketball.
A flop here and there doesn't determine the outcome. However the pattern of referring does matter a quite a lot. Sam Mitchell just said that after the game in a post interview on youtube. Sorry, I don't have the link.
The video wasnt about the flops, its about the reach ins hes getting away with. Then on the other side of the court Ariza gets called for a foul on clear strips ..or gets called for ticky tack fouls. Just show some balance. Dont mistake Flops with baiting a defender, they are 2 totally different things.
If he's gonna flop like this, then just run directly through him (whether he's positioning himself defensively or setting a pick on offense) instead of slowing down and trying to lessen the contact. Get your money's worth.
Keep the faith and remain focused on the job. We can split the series on the road. Go Houston Rockets!
