    So, you think game 3 was just a blowout...not effected by the officials, right?

    Buczone for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
    I used to frequent a forum for the Tampa Bay Rays
    Boxden for all sports

    Sure, with any sport there will be some talk about refs. But here, everyone wrings their hands before the game even starts about who the refs are, talks about it all game long, and then uses it as the excuse if we lose.

    Spurs are the biggest floppers i've seen since the 90's Jazz teams.

    No, I agree with you. Maybe worded incorrectly. My bad. I'm just saying the refs haven't cared whether it's close or not. They've favored the Spurs regardless of situation. Whether the Rockets are up, down, going on a run or giving up a run, the Spurs are getting the majority of the calls.

    so, the FOUR places you go to for sports, Clutchfans whines about the refs the most?

    get a bigger sample size before you go around disrespecting Clutchfans.net:eek:

    MANY fan sites bicker about refs. it isn't just here!

    This. These are the kind of games that the Spurs live for. All of this whining about the refs has gotten way past old. These guys sound like a bunch of whinny teenage girls. If they'd bothered to actually watch the games they'd see that Pop has his team purposely keeping their hands up when guarding the Rox especially Harden. Unlike those bozos in OKC, the Spurs are doing all they can not to foul the Rox shooters around the 3 pt line. It's known as defense.

    You are so blind and naive....or is it denial...wanting to be right...just plain obtuse?!? Whatever it is, after all these years of watching hoops, I figured you'd know what's going on out there.

    Referees jobs should be automated.

    Did I say CF complains the most on the internet? No. I said I've never seen a site talk about the refs as much, which holds true no matter my sample size.

    Why has there not been more uproar about calling an offensive foul, on a superstar, on a flop, by a team well known for their flopping, with 11 seconds left in a tie game, during game 5 of playoff series that was tied 2-2?

    I've never seen anything more egregious.

    They've had a "keep it close" edict for this whole series when 4 out of the 5 games have been blowouts?

    here goes more ref conspiracies from Clutchfans, as if the media conspiracies weren't enough...

    no doubt some of y'all will blame this entire series on the refs if the Rockets lose

    "Keep it close" unless it's a team with LeBron or Curry in it.

    I don't see people complaining about the refs to this degree on places like realgm, Reddit, or even twitter

    a lot of places complain about the refs, but Clutchfans is the only place where people act like the refs and the league have this evil conspiracy against them

    What kind of kooks go around crying "conspiracy" every time fortune doesn't smile upon them?

    Answer:
    people who are the victims of an obvious conspiracy like all citizens of Rockets Nation
