There are other sports and pastimes. Might as well go all in on a scripted sport with at least good story-lines and some T&A.
I can’t tell anymore if it’s complete incompetence or if the league is rigged? Either way I’m right there with you in being very close to just shutting out the NBA, which is crazy since I live and breathe Rockets. This **** is just too much of a kick in the balls.
All game long it's B/S. You don't think this gets into our heads and changes how we play and future shots how we shoot with confidence? The no calls from 3 point land completely changed the game.
I'm with you... if the Rockets lose this series I won't watch another playoff game and will even contemplate not watching the next season.
LOL ... Durant didn't hit CP3 with a SLEDGEHAMMER so we aren't going to call the foul .... THE NBA IS RIGGED!!! ....... ....... .......
NBA should employ an unbiased ref for L2M reporting calls and whatever call by on court refs must be looked at.. Also Shumpert, House, Harden should haved called for a timeout as soon as CP3 got the rebound.
What really is the point when no matter what the refs will screw the rockets out of games? I love the Rockets but I also love them too much to see them blatantly get screwed year after year by crooked refs.
Game 7 last year tore away much of the love I had for basketball, to the point I wouldn't have watched 10 games this season which didn't feature the Rockets - Playoffs included. I said if the same thing last series against GSW happened again - I'd be done with the NBA for the immediate future. And I am. I turned the game off a few minutes into the third quarter, unlike previous times when I've switched a Rockets game off it wasn't because I was disgusted in their effort and didn't think they could win the game, it was because I knew they were not allowed to win the game in this one. I won't be watching another game this series, I'm sure the alcohol and McDonalds is already doing enough damage to my heart I don't need this bullsh*t added in there too. League Pass next season? Forget it.
The thing is no calls effects your shooting . I'm pretty sure it's easier for our guys to make shots when they don't have to worry about guys plowing into them .
Ya know, I said the same thing the OP said after last years WCF, but here I am....watching. Old habits die hard....its such an amazing game. Strangely enough, I'm not super upset. I don't allow myself to get emotionally invested anymore cause I would put myself in an early grave if I did. And I keep hoping against hope that maybe the NBA will not let me down and call things fairly. I guess I've learned to cope with disappointment well. Last year, I made the decision to not support the league anymore with my money. Its all I can do. No league pass. No hats/jersey's. No tickets to games. Nothing. Maybe that's what the deal is with our crowds too. Kind of a "why bother" attitude.
I'm probably skipping the whole series from now on. These officials are going to be just as bad.... if not worse for the rest of the series.
