    I think it’s safe to say that we are at war with Silver and the NBA, not only Golden State Warriors.

    Foster was a clear message to the Rockets and Daryl for leaking the confidential info to a press and it’s time to raise the stakes.

    I think Morey should bluff and leak an info that Rockets team is looking to boycott Game 2 due to “the whole Foster thing” and post a message “like the team is going to have a meeting to decide, but management and ownership are willing to approve any decision made after this meeting on competing in Game 2. The Rockets organization is in high discomfort due to Foster past, winking at Donaghy’ case, last years WCF series and his relationship with this team and it’s players overall”.

    This will bring an unprecedented national attention to this situation and Rockets would still eventually compete in Game 2, because “the team decided to fight till the end”, but Silver would pay the biggest price for it, thing that he cares the most - his so-called ideal reputation.

    Bad idea! I want the team to play and win!

    Boycotting is for boys not men!

    It’s a business and that’s not how you do business.

    I think this whole ref thing is really making people post irrational nonsense.

    I think when you’re Tillman that has payed the record sum to buy an NBA team, it’s pretty hard to swallow that the refs and the NBA simply had c*m on your face for three straight playoff games versus one team, that you are undoubtedly willing to beat and can beat

    There would definitely be a reputation destroyed by this move and it wouldn't be Silver

    The only way to beat this is to expose it. Put on your boots and gloves and go to work.

    If anyone in the Rockets organization mentions the name Donaghy, they will not have a job or own a team shortly after.

    The best way to raise the stakes is to just defend the GSW three pointers by getting in their landing zone.

    This isn't complicated.

    The refs are probably going to call it tonight given the level of scrutiny on this particular subject. So I would take advantage of that by having Harden having confidence that he isn't going to be swiped underneath so hopefully that helps improve his shooting percentage.

    The GSW will have more opportunities in the first 6 minutes just by virtue of the type of shots Rockets/Harden takes.

    See how they call it. Second they don't call it on GSW, you start doing it.

    I agree. If they continue not calling, go all out and return the favor.
