    Mitchell gets a fingernail going to the basket and gets a whistle.
    Harden gets mugged and NO CALL.
    Hmmmm

    James, please, don't hunt for fouls in a playoff game.

    Utah are still terrible shooters so that's a good thing.

    Harden needs to stay calm.

    James has to recognize he's not going to get many calls this game and adjust.

    We all knew the Jazz teams we saw in games 1-2 weren't the best they could play.

    We are going to have to take that and the NBA's series extending ref crew, tonight. But we can still be good enough to win. Time to man up.

    PS, drinking game - take a drink every time you see a Jazz fan who is a white guy in his 30s with male pattern baldness or a hat covering his male pattern baldness.

    Ok someone give me an objective perspective here. Was Harden fouled on that last layup or was it just good D by the Jazz big?

    Faried in for a minute and grabs more boards than all the guys who have been playing all of 1st Q.

    Yeah because the alternative is being in an environment where the crowd actually influences refs and is loud the whole game

    Can the rockets overcome this ? Yeah , or course .

    But we shouldn't have to . With as good as thes rockets have been , they deserve better home crowds .

    Get the feeling that short of getting hit with a crow bar,Jimmy is not getting a foul call tonight. before we have jimmy having a bad game, can we see what happens in the final 3 qtrs. first ?

    Um, maybe this has come up before but ESPN is streaming the game with NO announcers or voiceover. It's just like you're getting to watch them game. I had forgotten what that feels like.

    I'm sure they'll fix it and pipe in some Harden criticism any minute, but right now, it's just sneakers and grunts and crowd noise.
