I can (chuck voice) GUARANTEE you that neither Chuck or Shaq have watched a lick of Rockets basketball this season. They can't even pronounce Sengun or Udoka's names.
When Shaq says experience, he means referees! In the playoffs, the refs generally gravitate towards the known more established commodity. Not having a legit, proven star might hurt us THIS year. Go Rockets!!! ....... ....... .......
How did Kawhi get those calls ....at that point he was an aspiring superstar but not healthy enough that the refs overwhelmingly were on his side...even the refs did not think Toronto would win an American title in their lifetime.
they don’t watch games or keep up with what’s going on Pistons were 33-26 and Shaq thought they were 10 games below .500
Kenny mentions the Warriors being 21-7 since the All-Star Break. It was actually 20-7. And he forgets that the Rockets were 18-9 post-break with that including the final 3 games where they rested guys and weren't even trying to compete. Golden State has been on a tear since they got Butler. But they also looked a little shaky this past week.
These guys represent one of the sad cultural features of our time: the panel of personalities that becomes all about itself and no longer pays much attention to, much less understands, what it’s supposed to be talking about. They should have been put on a fishing boat long ago.
I would have assumed they'd back Golden State. To be fair, I don't know if we'll get a fair shake out of the refs. The original "Iron Chef" was a show from Japan with English subtitles here (of course). An article in Entertainment Weekly about the show mentioned, Sometimes it appears the judges clearly side with the challenger but the Iron Chef wins; WTF? And their answer being, The challenger unfortunately has to deal with the judges not wanting to upset the applecart (and help the Iron Chef save face, a very Japanese tradition) and must not only be better but score a knockout blow in order to be declared the winner. It might come down to that with the Rockets against the refs, who'll be wearing their KEEP STEPH ALIVE! T-shirts.
Agreed. They have become the reason the NBA is down. They spend all show dogging the product and those in it while trying to self aggrandize and relive old glory Rocket River
