The refereeing was atrocious . They basically denied us from taking a 3 point shot . Then our guys started flopping . And harden started creating contact on drives . Why was that our response ? We should have fought for the right to let harden take his 3's . You end up with the feeling the whole game was to set up the golden boy with a shot. I'm so angry . I'm proud of our guys for trying to fight through it , but that should not have been our response . What the refs did the first half was egregious and deserved a serious response. We should have ****ing walked out of the building . James was shooting straight up and down and GS was intentionally bumping into him . Frankly , 2 of them could have been flagrant . I don't know what I witnessed . But the rockets can't take this lying down. Protest the series , threaten that sweet revenue and see what happens . They have a justifiable argument , player safety is at stake
I honestly think Silver is in bed with the Warriors, what a terrible Commish this dude has been. Its funny how the Warriors became this after Silver took over in '14
How is it a black eye when it’s exactly what casual fans and people who hate harden and the rockets want? They love what they saw. “Don’t give that flopper harden any calls”
No one outside Houston cares. All the blowhards will talk tomorrow is the 3 Curry hit. Oh wow... Such greatness! His one and only contribution. That's how you sell tickets folks. Not by letting the foil you **** on all season have a fair shake
There's no use in us making 100 threads about this. (But I get why you did it.) We need someone to channel their skills into making a video of this to go viral, so people can yell at that instead accusing us Rockets fans of an inferiority complex. This game was totally engineered for the close result, and even the Curry winner. Curry should've fouled out with 6 when he ran up on James on the wing in the 4th and was rewarded by a .... Harden out of bounds call. I was glad the officiating crew (even the half-time crew!!) commented about it. Even Steve Javie commented on it in our favor, in the first half.
Because it's agaisnt the spirit of competition man . If you aren't going to let one team outplay another , then what's the point of the game ? Generate revenue ? I guess , well I'm about ****ing fed up . The players and coaches and general managers should be too . It literally trivializes everything they do try to win . And if you say the point of the NBA existing is because it makes money , that's fair ... but I think the reason people consume it is because they like watching real competition
There needs to be an organized boycott of the nba in the city of Houston if they screw us out of a chance to compete. When the bean counters are tallying up ratings, there needs to be a blackout in Houston.
I always thought he was foul....The dude looks EXACTLY like Mr. Freeze. He should be a villian in a batman movie....not a f****** commish.
thats fine when it’s 2 teams the fans generally like. Maybe it would be called fair if it was the warriors vs the Celtics but the general public loves to see harden “choke”. Screwing the rockets is good for business. Nobody cares about it outside of Houston.
They purposefully made a bad call or two vs the warriors to make it seem fair . But they cut off our most devastating weapon at the beginning of the game
