2018-19 Houston Rockets Thread of running it back (mainly)

[NowThis 931]

big relief to be tied.  

[goatsaag 279]

All season Paul (and then right there Harden) are so casual bringing the ball up the court with less than 5 seconds left and have to throw up something past half court instead of actually moving the ball up the floor to get a better look

all things considered, rockets are in a very good spot.

Yeah, really sloppy passing by the Warriors negated our terrible shooting start.  Fortunate.

We have to get at least one of the first two, and this one figures to be the easier of the two.  We need to come out in the second half like we want to be the fucking champions.  Like we've been the best team in basketball for two years when we're healthy.  Got to show it NOW.

yep, huge opportunity here in the next 24 minutes.

[NowThis 931]

so is Faried hurt?

[goatsaag 279]

Durant hits Paul on the 3 and gets a transition dunk instead of the foul call.

The Rockets do get away with a ton of contact on defense, particularly when they play small, but the Warriors really do seem to play by completely different rules.

This one ref is killing houston, he hasn’t called shit on GS but has the quick whistle on everything houston.

[TexArcher 37,508]

Smart, James!  That's 4 on Steph.

[Zavala 1,384]

Why does Durant wanna keep carrying these whiney bitches?

[BigOrange1 6,422]

of course they don't miss the contact there.

[Zavala 1,384]

A fucking tiny touch gets a foul on us, meanwhile CP3 gets his arm smashed while shooting. No call.

[Rockethorn1978 6,061]

It’s the same ref every time. I seriously don’t think he’s made one call against Gs all game. And he’s the one that missed all three of klays first half fouls. Or should I say “missed”.

[Rockethorn1978 6,061]

Black dude ref is going on dry on the rockets. No lube anger bang.

[NowThis 931]

Houston desperately needs the inside scoring of Faried. Capela's lobs are not what they used to be last year. 

[NowThis 931]

now the separation starts, big hit by Green though

[BigOrange1 6,422]

desperately needed 3 from gerald green.

[NowThis 931]

f that ref f him!

[BigOrange1 6,422]

rockets are repeatedly fouled on 3's, never get a call and then get a technical for pointing it out.

[Zavala 1,384]

Guy jumps under you on the 3

YOU get the tech

Wow what a "sport"

[TexArcher 37,508]

Fucking amazing.

Refs miss the same god damned call for about the 7th time and CP3 gets a tech for not liking it.

These refs better get raked over the fucking coals for this shit.

He must be the new 'fixer' since Scott Foster every time was too obvious

[Rockethorn1978 6,061]

D’Antoni should have gotten that tech in the first half and not back to back.

[goatsaag 279]

Yeah... unless Harden or Gordon just goes off in the 4th so there is no question about it, the Rockets aren't going to be allowed to win this game

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

Rigged

[deech 2,251]

The Warriors are good enough to win without this bullshit.

[Jimbaround 973]

Donaghy round 2?

that's what makes it especially frustrating.  the margin of error is already so small when you're playing them.  when games are officiated like this, it's damn near impossible to beat them.

[Zavala 1,384]

'Sports entertainment' I think they have to call it since it's fixed.

[NowThis 931]

i thought Klay and Curry were injured today

[BigOrange1 6,422]

the ref right under the basket was looking right at green and didn't call a foul, the ref at the top of the key runs in and calls it.

[BigOrange1 6,422]

gotta get harden back in this game.

[Smax 3,800]

Not hitting shots and harden is playing for the foul...

[BigOrange1 6,422]

eric gordon!

Foster is Round 2, this would be round 3

[TexArcher 37,508]

Nice!  Showing some heart here even though they're frustrated.  This game is still right there for the taking.

[BigOrange1 6,422]

getting a couple of makeup calls here.

[deech 2,251]

Four point game despite all the misses and jackassery.  Now win this bitch.

[Zavala 1,384]

Courtney Kirkland, Josh Tiven, Zach Zarba

[BigOrange1 6,422]

harden needs to attack the bigs, not shoot the stepback 3

[deech 2,251]

I'll take three quarters of one way calls if all the calls in the fourth come Houston's way (and it seems like they are so far....)

[BigOrange1 6,422]

5 on tucker

How about they just call the game unbiased from the beginning?

Also, when they make a new rule - Kawaii being hurt by a Warriors player jumping under him - they should enforce it before it happens again. Instead of calling a tech on the guy screaming because he is pissed they aren't calling that foul. 

NAY

NAY

All up in your shit nutkick Draymond.

They taking PJ out the game though.

[Zavala 1,384]

Fucking bailout light call

Scores tied.  Time for some bullshit going Warriors way.

[Zavala 1,384]

Lol will they give the rip though to Harden too?

Bet not

[BigOrange1 6,422]

klay finally called for a foul!
