Must See Masterpiece - Warriors vs Rockets Game 2 took ‘Physicality’ to it’s Strategic Extreme

How was that screen by Moody not called? He leans his shoulder into Amen at the last second, sending him sprawling.

 

Great work!

 

I was livid about that play.

 

Talk about a happy ending...satisfying, to say the least.

 

warriors crying to league office and the media because of the physical play. keep in mind this is a team that employs draymond green

we're have we seen this whining and complaining before.. OH THATS RIGHT.. 2 years ago when they got down 0-2 to the sacramento kings in the first round of those playoffs lol. warriors PREDICTABLY came back 0-2 down to win that series.

but...but.. but

playoffs fouls iz different from regulah seazun fouls.

they ain't callen dat weak stough in da playoffz.. carry da hell on!!

 

Refs on those screens
Nothing to see here. Play on

 

yup saw that too. I'm worried Rockets won't be coming out of this series completely healthy. Especially Amen. He was targeted numerous times. That time Pat Spencer pushed him from behind should have been a flagrant/technical or at the minimum a loose ball foul.

 

Years ago when Houston had Ralph Sampson it was a playoff series Houston vs Boston..Boston wanted to play that dirty mess, and when it was a big fight in the game... Sampson said on National TV if you all want to play this ____ we can play this all day, and that is what the Rockets are doing today.


Golden State started this dirty mess and now crying when Houston has hit back.... But it is always one person Draymond Green every year every
playoff series... Because they know that is the only way they have a chance...

 

I just don't why NOBODY can see Green pushed Thompson in the lower back and tripped him...

 

the Butler injury is on Draymond. if he doesn't shove Amen, Butler would not have been undercut.

and I like the Sultan of Spin...

 

That is why the Lakers would be favored......they get away with them ref calls.

It is actually not that odd, 2015 Warriers would be wiping the floor with this team but it is 2025 now.

 

That really wasn't a foul, especially in the context of that game. There were wayyyyy more egregious examples. Anyone with a heart or a real competitive spirit doesn't want Jimmy Butler to be injured, but that's part of the game sometimes. Warriors fans having a hard time accepting the other side of the coin, we know that side of the coin too. People want Amen to be a scapegoat, some folks I've seen blaming Draymond when really... **** just happens sometimes. The game is the joy of motion and hyperathletic dudes playing as hard as they can sometimes **** just happens. All the tears in the world aren't changing some simple facts though: like how the Warriors got a boatload of karma trying to make port. Like how they play exactly as physical as the Rockets do. And um... definitely how the refs were calling a shitload of the fouls against the Rockets. See comments acting like the refs were turning a blind eye when we had multiple starters sitting out regular minutes because of foul troubles.

What happened was Jalen danced on em, Sengun played decoy but scored enough to support him and the team's defense was ****ing outrageously tough. What happened was Klay isn't around to throw in 20-30 points while the team focuses on Steph. KD isn't around to throw in 20-30 while they sit. Igoudala isn't around to make winning plays everywhere. It's just Draymond's antics and a guy who had to keep running to the locker room to poop.

 

Rhetorical, right? It’s the NBA, bruh.

 

PTSD from having seen so many Warriors illegal screens go uncalled over the last decade.

 

Warriors have about 5x the amount of online presence than Rockets fans do so because of that, they shape the narrative.

And the narrative going into next game is that Sengun is a flopper and Amen is the dirtiest player in the league. I would not be surprised if their fanbase tries something cuz they are a bunch of lunatics stuck in an echo chamber.

Every single video on last night's game coming from a popular influencer or major media outlet, the comment sections is just completely packed with Warriors fans calling us dirty and demand retribution.

 

Have the Warriors EVER been called for an illegal screen in the last decade?

 

**** Warriors fans, coaches, and players for their pearl clutching about physicality and injuries. If it weren't for double standards, they wouldn't have any.

 

I can't watch....too much violence

Against LeBron, the refs will call 100 fouls (Rockets)
to the Lakers 5. Same violence from both sides.

Last year the Pacers were allowed to be violent
vs the Bucks in the LeBron Invitational. Only to
call everything against the Pacers vs Lakers.
