Game 7 22-point swing by refs in favour of Golden State Warriors

Also post links of even TNT calling out the refs.

After last night, I'm done with the NBA.

 

it's just sickening..
this game ain't going away for a long time..

 

Yup refs were bad no doubt, but they didn't contribute to the team missing 27 3 pointers in a row or whatever ridiculous stat it is.

The worst shooting night of the year came at the worst possible time.

 

In case you can't read, that's what a fair few die hard fans are realising now champ.

 

Actually they did, cuz Harden made one that for some unknown reason didn’t count and was fouled on 2 more. We coulda been 3/27 and that would been good enough to win.

 

I hate that "PS" Adam Silver. Nothing but a Christmas Cake

 

Can't say this is surprising. Refs played a role, no doubt.

Why do we watch sports ?

 

Yes it was rigged.

The refs stole this.

 

Webber sounds like he has seen this movie before.

 

The media isn't saying much about it.

Would be better if they were.

 

I was on the way to decompressing and moving on from this season. Then I saw this thread and the video and that sickness in my stomach returned.

What a horrible way to end the season. It’s like fire ants being added to an open wound. This is going to hurt for a loooooong time.

 

There were 4 out of bounds calls also that werent call in addition to this video

 

It was obvious when they gave curry a redo and .5 seconds to get overtime

 

I thought the same thing when watching the game live. When the calls are so bad even Reggie Miller is calling them out on the broadcast... it's clearly not homerism or whining by fans.

I've known for a long time the NBA is corrupt, and actually anticipated this screw-job because they wanted GS/Cleveland part 4. But, I love basketball and love the Rockets, so I kept watching and hoping we could break through. I think I've finally had enough.

 

I seriously doubt you watched the game. The refs took away 16+ points away (that I can count) and the Warriors won by 7. It's easy for you say "can't blame the refs" by just reading the boxscore stats. I encourage you to watch a NBA game sometime, it's really fun.

 

Yup, and Curry's trip on Tucker after that steal I the 3rd. Another no call, while Durant gets brush calls on the other end.

 

This is such a lazy and stupid argument. Obviously is doesn’t help that they missed all those 3’s, but a hallmark of a great team is finding different ways to win. When you lose by 9 and the refs leave 22 blatant points on the table for you or the other team, it swings a game.

Doesn’t matter about the shots. Our defense and effort was enough to get us over the jump even with the poor shooting. If it’s ALL about shooting and what the teams do, why even have refs guy?

 

And could have completely won the game.

It absolutely played a part. Are Rockets partially to blame? Sure, but this is some serious bullsh*t.

 

Everyone remembers that series numbnuts. Tim Donaghy even wrote about this ****

 

No, but it was obviously inconsistently called in a way that HEAVILY shifted the game.
