2025 NBA PLAYOFFS & PLAY-IN DISCUSSION

this is so true. San Fran has an extremely high FUGLY AS FU** per capita

 

GSW got helped by the refs a lot last night. Couldn't breathe on Jimmy yet Draymond is mauling Edey the whole game. Refs tried to give Grizzlies some makeup calls at the end, but too little too late. I am worried about the Warriors whistle during our series.

 

I wanted to stay up and finish watching the game but I had to go to bed around 11:30. I had a bad feeling that the Warriors would win. I feel confident that we will beat them in a 7 game series but it is going to suck as it will probably go at least 6 or maybe even 7 games. With the way that the refs call the games for the Warriors, this series will not be a short one. Of course, this morning, ESPN's Get Up was all over the Warriors' nutsacks and they, of course, are not giving the Rockets any respect. There are fools that are picking the Warriors to win against the Rockets.

 

Lose one of the 1st two games and we are TOAST
Win them both . . .well . .they just held serve but will still lose

You know the narratives

Rocket River

 

I know the whistles are going to be dumb, but im not worried for the young rockets. Since they dont hunt for whistles and jalen doesn't ever get any foul calls, they wont be reliant on ref whistles like Rockets were in the past. Rockets have been getting hoed all season. 82 games of a genrationally bad whitle has prepared the rockets for the playoffs.

 

The problem is not the whistle on scoring. . .it is the exact opposite
Imagine Amen with 4 fouls in the 1st half? The Warriors in the penalty for 8 minutes a quarter?

Rocket River

 

Like Rocket River said, it's not our scoring that I'm concerned about. It's that Golden State will get more FTs and allowed to play more physical defense. Also Draymond will get away with lead blocks and holds.

I don't expect an evenly officiated series against Golden State.

 

**** this West Coast timing, we have easily the WORST ****ing times. Not a single early game for us Europeans to watch live.

 

Rockets don't rely on there fts either. Rockets were last in fts and still would over come it somehow. Rockets dont care if the refs are calling light fouls, they dare you to call more. Rockets have so many players they can throw at you, they won't change thier intensity because of refs. it's brute force.

im telling you, the rockets were built to combat ref and GSW bullshit

 

Miami Heat love the play in tourney.

 

I didn't expect the Bulls to go out like this. This isn't the same team that beat the Lakers and swept the Nuggets a few weeks ago.

 

no d bulls give up 71 1st half points

 

Bulls look awful. Their offense looks worse than ours and on defense they look like a tanking team. They just wasted everyone's time.

 

AD must be in shock that he doesn’t get the Laker foul calls anymore lol

 

Get rid of the play in.

Get rid of conferences.

 

Kings are getting killed at home.
