    This is true. I guess it could be said about a lot of refs during their run lol

    Looking at his stats this season, the home team did win 74% of the time.

    they are 60-18 since 2015 (including this years playoffs) so thats .76 winning percentage, basically at 64 win team if looking at it as a 82 game season.

    Warriors are going to have a lot of really good records with refs in the league as a result. Thats what makes the items like they are now 8-8 in games reffed by Scott Foster in the playoffs (I think it was 7-8 before game 1)

    I dont know how this will really go when it comes to officiating. I believe that the Warriors have been getting away with more physical play, especially on the perimeter than Houston has every single game (esp Curry). I think the Rockets need to adjust more to that than trying to figure out what the refs may or may not call.

    I like Capers. I don’t care for Joey Crawford. I chalk up a loss with Brothers as a ref for Rockets games.

    I'm not sure where to post this, but that call on Trevor Ariza for being pushed by one Warrior into another, backward, with his arms extended, is the worst call I've ever seen. Sometimes referees have to make a split-second judgment, and they get it wrong. But this travesty happened in slow motion, and Ariza kept his hands in the position of innocence the whole time, and the push was blatant. There was no excuse for this call. The league should review it and issue a statement.

    I hate that they pretty much trimmed our 1st half lead down with the most absurd touch fouls. The one on Capella by Steph was just ridiculous.

    Get this. My brother was listening on the radio (ESPN radio I guess?) and Hubie Brown said it was a good call that Ariza was grabbing Durant with both hands and he should get a T for arguing.

    There was another play in the 2nd half where Durant was posting up, i cant rmr if was CP or EG, but he drove the baseline and made a spin-move to run into PJ's help defense - PJ stood straight up, arms straight up, didnt flop or anything - literally just stood there. Durant missed, but of course got 2 FT's.

    I wish the fans kept the Referees Suck chant on the next foul call. Tucker had a clean block on Curry shortly before that even the TNT announcers said was clean.

    So that's 6 points the Warriors got from phantom calls, wonder how many more there would be. Might watch the game again and make notes. For science.
