    What do you think the over/under is on offensive fouls for Harden tonight? Foster always calls them on Paul and Harden on purpose, calls other stars would get as defensive fouls. He also overcompensates by not calling contact when we exaggerate it. We have to know we aren't going to get calls in the last minutes of quarters and figure out ways to power through rather than trying to draw 3 pt fouls at the end.

    Not be surprised, I suppose, but like others, I think tonight’s game will be called reasonably well, setting up the shaft for later. I could certainly be wrong about that.

    Aren't the ref assignments for the first two games already set prior to the series starting? So possibly not the league sending a message if it was already set? Please double check me

    Maybe internally?? , but I am not aware of it being released to the public ahead of time. We kept wondering when the Foster game was scheduled

    I want a fight, a malice at the palace but then involving the referees and I am not kidding. If referees would try to keep me from winning like last year and now, you bet your ass a referee would get it and I'd go off in interviews, post game and other. Remember that silence means or at least implies consent / approval.

    I respect for our players and organisation if they just stick to the background attempts, but it's time to go all out! Go public now, the iron is hot so too late to hold back. The reports are out and everyone's focusing on it even though ESPN - the league office's mouthpiece - in particular used that female reporter and probably others to shift focus.

    I want Rivers to be all over, almost french kissing, Curry and Klay, infect those whiny cunts with flu virus.
