So, basically the NBA is scripted. If people don't like the Rockets style of play, this causes viewership to go down. The NBA then has to step in to keep ratings up, which leads to the Rockets getting screwed. If a report came out tomorrow that the NBA was indeed rigged, I would not be surprised.
In other words, TMcF wants Harden to play "dumb jock" basketball. Basketball TMcF can understand...dunk and drive physical basketball. What a moronic fool.
That Fat fck needs to get fired, he sounds so dumb, Fans dont like watching the Rockets cause of the way we play? Well tell me why Rockets Vs Warriors was highest watching games last year in the playoffs? Its the playoffs they gonna change calls, well they didnt change vs the Jazz, you mean it only changes when the Rockets faces the Warriors.
You HAVE to call attention to it.....that is how it gets changed. If there is no accountability in the league office, go get it in the court of public opinion. DD
Two nice gentleman making a point, but why this ,fat face, brings musician into basketball conversation I don’t get it.
Yep, that's what fat dumb dude is saying is the reason. Eff the rules...gotta make it more interesting for viewers. Maybe change the rules if that's the case? I dunno, I guess the refs don't care if players get hurt...need dat cash flow. They should just allow clotheslining if someone is making a layup, or bodychecking into the reporters table? I'm sure that would increase ratings too..
Wow...if you break it down to the essence, the big dude is basically saying the nba is rigged, and it's like pro wrestling I guess my biggest argument about making it more interesting for the playoffs argument, why can't you call regular season games the same way as the playoffs? If you're going to let people get away with stuff during the playoffs, mightas well do the same thing during the regular season.
Reggie Theus (former King from back in the day) was saying today one thing he never understood was why refs change how they call the game in the playoffs. I've always wondered that myself. I mean, we hear it all the time - "It's a different game in the playoffs" or "Refs let them play in the playoffs" or hell, even the reverse, "Refs call a tighter game in the playoffs". I can never figure out wth the reasoning for doing so is or if there's even agreement on how the refs are different in calling the game, but one thing is certain "refs call the game differently". It lends some credence to the whole "NBA is rigged" belief. For the NBA to call the game one way all season long and then when you get to the playoffs "we're going to call it differently"? Why? Yeah, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but ...
I just feel bad for the players. I honestly wonder why I even watch anymore. The game is called differently in the playoffs because the league office wants to drive viewership to earn more $$$. Whichever team can help them do that will be helped through the playoffs. It’s really sad. I grew up loving this game but now I’m just sad because it’s not about the game at all. It’s about $$$.
I hate that fat disgusting slob & rockets hater. You know good and god damned well if the Rockets were stepping under Klay and curry and nothing was called-- This FAT ASS and the worrier players and coaches would have lost it on the refs. Not to mention if one of their ankles was hurt even more than it already is. I fn hate Steve Kerr doing his flopping act on his media interview digging the Rockets. I hate donkey green saying officiating is not an exact science knowing how much he fn complains about EVERY fn call. *** the worriers and *** this rigged ass league.
All the more reason why we have to insure that the KD and Oracle era of the Warriors ends in bitter defeat.
Very true. Heard for years now that Harden isn’t going to get “those calls” in the playoffs talk. To me that’s always sounded like a league problem not a Harden problem. Why pick and choose when and where you will emphasize rules to the game?
Hey ****** they were and are fouls. They would called fouls if were playing an other team. It’s the fact it’s against the Warriors that they are not being called
