Didn’t need this c*nt to tell us that to know it happened. Sucked so bad at the time. I’m over it and this bozo can eat sh*t for all I care
i guess they kinda did the following year when they lost to Toronto cause their guys had to play so much vs houston
That the NBA refused to officiate moving screens off-ball should be a lasting part of the Warriors legacy. Now that everyone in the league does it, the refs call it more often, but back then, the Warriors were straight up tackling and holding people off-ball without the slightest worry about the refs.
Everyone knew it....we have been saying it for years. Warriors get away with moving screens and the refs don't call it!! Recently Dray was quoted as saying, Kuminga needs to go to "Screen School" That's code for being taught, how to screen while moving your feet and cross checking a mother******.
You really gonna go with this? The Bogut illegal screens cause Harden's shot to go sideways? Not denying those games were called unfairly, Green and Klay got in Harden's landing space every damn time near the end of the games... Let's not pretend Harden wasn't tryin to bait a 3 point foul thou... If Harden just simply hits a couple of big shots Houston would've had a chip and Harden wouldn't be ringless.
Game is called unfairly, so all harden had to do was score regardless. What a smart take. If someone is cheating instead of addressing it and ensuring a fair game, u just have to do better. Right. 8 v 5. Just play better. Spoken like a dude who doesn't play sports. Basically the equivalent of me telling someone complaining about hackers in the game to git gud.
Typical bball player at the playground that has an excuse for every shot he misses right here... "I haven't played in a while" "Awe my arm is killing me" "Foul!!!" "The wind!" "The sun was in my eye's" You are making excuses, as usual that's pretty regular with Harden sympathizers.... The refs, the concussion, he was injured, GSW is a super team, Harden has no help yada yada yada.... Nah, don't be like that... Call it how it is, the refs were awful and Harden missed shots trying to ref bate or flat out just missed shots because that's what he has done every single time in crunch time when it actually meant something... The refs follow Harden and stop him from making a clutch shot every year?
Fukkk the NBA FUKkk FOSTER AND Tony Brothers Fukkk the Worriers and their shiitt(literally) city Fukkk CA Fukkk Kerr and their GM Let the players decide the outcome Officiate fairly an consistently BUT that will NEVER happen!
U literally admit that the game were poorly officiated but it folks making excuses for Harden. If the game/series is fking poorly officiated he never had a chance to win. It's not that hard, there's no fking excuses it's facts. There is a fking reason y cp3 vs fosters is 2-15 in career playoff games officiated by Foster. Refs fking dictates the outcome of the game especially sht ones. There's no u just have to b better bs. Theres a reason y folks state the nba is rigged. It cause sht like this.
I respectfully disagree with the take (sh*tting on Harden despite the fact this is a thread about an insider admission of a lack of officiating consistency and integrity, etc). However, kudos for making a post without mentioning what a tremendous and laudable owner and human Tilman Fertitta is. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I've always felt like I watch games from a pretty unbiased standpoint in regards to officiating being that I have officiated before and it's not that easy. But I felt like that series was fully in the tank. The other one that comes to mind was when Tracy McGrady had to take on the rest along with the Mavs. That was the first series I ever watched as a Rockets fan and thought they were literally getting screwed by the officiating not just bad calls.
