    Especially last two games all middle decisions called against our rookies .i know hazing rookies a thing in nba but i gets annoying and it recalled me why i did stop to watch nba when wade started to get superstar bogus fouls.

    refs haven’t been calling anything for anybody this year

    multiple stars out here with their free throw attempts cut drastically like Luka, Harden, Trae, and Lillard

    if it’s happening to them, then it will be worse for a rookie

    Yep some of the calls against Sengun have been flat out laughable. On both the offensive and defensive side.

    I'm getting repulsed by how aggressive players are with the refs, they need to crack down on this.

    Dudes rushing and roaring at them non stop, little ass old refs just standing there putting their hands out trying to talk calm

    I know we don't want to make the game about the refs, we want our stars to play etc, but jesus the game needs a culture reset when it comes to players losing their **** about fouls every second, half of which they are usually wrong on anyways.

    I told you all to expect it...all...season...long.

    There will be no benefit-of-the-doubt calls for this young Rockets team, especially with the increase in physicality allowed this year.

    Riiiiiiight.

    I mean I've seen your posts. If it was any other poster saying this i'd be querying what's wrong with them.

    I almost want to ask you what my comment has to do with understanding Sengun's game. Because your comments are hilarious.

    But alas. You're homerism is just a little too cringeworthy and you'll be ignored before I even see your pathetic response.

    PS: Your boytoy fantasy is playing for the Rockets. Why don't you contribute some money to this forum and make something of yourself? Instead of a laughing stock.

    I was like... here it is... another big talker saying how he's been saying something all year. Then I looked at your post count and I was like... I'll put this man's words to the test. You passed with flying colors... and I played the fool. An honest fool, but a fool.

    That's the way it's always been, rookies have to earn the benefit of doubt from refs. One of the many reasons young teams tend to lose a ton of games

    I agree with everyone but i can't remember any nba stating line up this young . When it is done to a lone rookie who comes from bench is different than it is done to a team that only wants to compete in fair ground with their energy. That is just biased ref.

    Somehow…somehow…Just when you thought the NBA refs couldn’t be worse, they are.

    There were definitely a few missed calls on quite nasty shots. The elbow Crowder threw it Sengun comes to mind. I don't think this is going to get any easier for our rookies until they start pushing back. We need to put Garuba out there more, he's a bit broader than our other bigs and might have to start putting some bodies on people so we don't just get bullied all year,

    Solution to OP: come back next year and watch games. They literally won't be rookies anymore.

    Game 6 (or 7?) Rockets vs warriors where the whole team was trying to break hardens ankle and sac vs lakers were embarrassingly bad

    It's not just the rooks, it's basically everyone at this point. Even Booker last night, he was bumped on a bunch of drives and didn't get a whistle.

    I think the refs are overdoing it, or misinterpreting the new rules. the new rule was suppose to tackle players that make unatural movements to bait fouls, this is mostly on those lean in 3 pointers, or on the perimeter where they shift sideways into the defender for no reason. Who the hell told the refs to swallow the whistle on obvious hacks at the rim for drives. that makes no sense and it's happening to everyone, including star players.
