I think the NBA is going to be a lot quicker, older players will retire earlier around the age of 34 it seems like the rules were meant for Chris Paul and James Harden based on they will lose their speed sooner drawing fouls, committing charges more therefore the Rockets break the team up and players retire sooner. James Harden might decline quicker due to his drinking and being overweight routines in the offseason. Chris Paul is injured like he normally is and is declining. The Rockets should tank and find a Jayson Tatum, Kawhi Leonard type of player in the draft, the Rockets can build around the Younger Star.
Yes. Lebron vs. Warriors is a HUGE story for the casual NBA fan that delivers ratings Houston vs. Lebron couldn't.
Cuz it would cost me an arm and a leg to eat and drink there. Watching this Rockets team with the stupid Freedom of Movement rule would turn me into an alcoholic drinking 24 dollar double shots
If we had lost to any other official I might be on your side. But Scott Foster being sent to the game was the ultimate F you to the rockets. We win 60-70% of our games and yet somehow when he officiates the games in the playoffs we are now 0-7... It can't be a coincidence.. Too large of a sample size...... They know the numbers before they send the officials...
Give me a break. You guys are the sports equivalent of Alex Jones...There is no conspiracy against the Rockets. The NBA didn't put out a hit on CP3 so he would get injured and we would missed the Finals. The NBA and the refs didn't do anything to make the Rockets missed 27 consecutive threes.
man i feel you 1000% on this. blows but what can you do.. ill be a depressed rockets fan for life idgaf
Who said anything about CP3 getting injured? Strawman much? When you can RATIONALLY explain a lead official (Scott Foster) who the Rockets have an 0-7 record with being assigned...when you can explain how they blew 9 OBVIOUS calls...everything from fouling Harden on 3's to hammering Gordon on drives to the basket, to allowing Golden State moving screen after moving screen to open up shooters....THEN maybe you get to say consipracy theory. When you IGNORE all that as mere coincidence, who is the real conspiracy theorist here?
The NBA refs know that the Rockets got hosed on the Harden should be 4 pt play. A friend of mine went to a ref development camp the summer and NBA lead officials were there tearing into Brothers as well.
Wow so the refs took the game from us with terrible calls, AND made the rockets miss shots? That’s crazy. To think we could have blamed them for everything instead of what they actually did!
Brain is better than brawn this is basketball not war, even in war you have multiple fights before the war is won, you choose your battles wisely and you sometimes withdraw you army and not give your best and all that you have...you may lose a lot of battles and still win the war.... you strategize and preserve resources for when it matters the most
when you are fouled(even if theres no whistle) of course you miss... and of course you will play much worse when you feel the refs are against you and no matter even if you hit the shots they will soon neutralize it with couple of bad calls...
Did you watch game 6? Geez you are an insufferable, senile blowhard. Just go back to the Astros forum. At least you are moderately tolerable there.
AND... When you can RATIONALLY explain why Scott Foster is still an NBA ref at all, considering this: Is it really that big a stretch to imagine that Foster (or someone he was indebted to) had a lot of money riding on the Warriors, who absolutely everyone was certain would win that series? And that maybe a few bad calls (or no-calls) here and there might ensure the right outcome? More than most NBA teams, both the Rockets and the Warriors relied heavily on momentum. When things mysteriously started swinging toward Golden State in the second half of games 6 & 7, the momentum absolutely changed hands and things like 27 consecutive missed 3s became a much stronger possibility.
People are mixing up game 6 and 7. Game 7 was Rockets-inflicted. Game 6 was a hatchet job on Harden and Gordon to prolong the series and give the Warriors a shot, which it very much did. There's no guarantee that we win game 6, but the repeated missed calls on the ball were shocking in that game. A lot of people complained about game 7 officiating but I was done by then.
