    Crooked and biased refereeing is exactly why I took several years off the NBA and it's exactly why I'm -this- close to bailing again. WTF can't the NBA have a replay structure like the NFL? And a CBA like the NFL, while we're at it.

    Cause it will be a 4-5 hour per game.
    They want to speed it up chop chop.

    If they wanted to speed it up, they should cut timeouts down to 4 per team for the whole game. The number of stoppages - which are thinly veiled excuses for commercial breaks - is ridiculous. No other sport is this broken up.

    True, but I will assume the 80 to 85% isn't an exact number but more of an estimate.

    Sigh... another reason why i dont want to watch this crap show anymore. It's getting more depressing day by day. They took away our ring last year.

    Harden is a very good player that's great when he gets to the free throw line. Without the free throws he is not an elite player mainly because of his lack of athletic advantages over his defenders. His range and jump shot have to continue to improve, so he has something to go to when the officials make things difficult for him.

    Harden has 0 free throws. EG, who got no calls in the regular season, has all the Rockets fts a grand total of 4 so far.

    You know I'm always anti conspiracy theory, but there's some egregious sh*t going on tonight.

    Can someone remind the refs that this is not Salt lake city?

    Fouls in the playoffs have always changed for harden. My sole biggest complaint about officiating the last 5 years. Why?

    This thread has never meant more. The NBA is rigged, truly disappointing

    Can anyone explain a motive to why they believe refs don't like Harden? The beard? He fornicates with refs' wives?

    Bureaucratic enforcers HATE it when people work the rules to their own benefit.

    So we are willing to admit Harden is heavily reliant on whistles to score efficiently relative to other NBA superstars.
