2nd Round: Warriors vs. Rockets

[goatsaag 279]

5th foul on Curry was trash. Igoudala got Harden on the arm though.

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

As the warriors fans chants refs you suck. Hahaha. Good call Vic.

[Machinator 32097]

Well that Curry 5th foul was a bad call.

I pointed this out in their last regular season matchup. And the Warriors are even worse whiners. It can be exhausting. Thankfully, the incredibly high level of play makes it worthwhile, but it's still obnoxious. Wish everyone would just shut up and play.

The main difference for me is so often, the Rockets play for the foul, especially their 2 main players, Paul and Harden. Their main objective is to draw a foul, not actually score. It is fucking exhausting and ugly basketball. Then if the calls are not called, their fans will say the game is rigged for the other team and the NBA doesn't want them to win.

Who cares so were they 3 non calls on harden where he should have gotten 9 free throws.

Shouldn't be taking swipes from behind with 4 fouls. Needlessly risky and dumb.

[hundredTT 576]

I fucking hate those BS calls, let them fucking play. The previous touch one, not shooting foul.

Kd and Paul just got the same call. Keep it even.

Lol 52-80 with the neg rep. Must be tough with your shitty team.

1. anyone who owns a team cant have it too tough

2. keep crying, like you cry about the refs

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

Ok another first round exit. You own nothing but losing.

[Patrick Bateman 3903]

Curry with the dagger.  The Rockets defensive switch everything strategy comes back to bite them.  Curry vs Nene..... Any coach would take that mismatch every possession.... .both way if we're honest about it.

[satyanash 14281]

Bringing in Nene costs Houston... they had to know Curry was going to switch onto him.

BANG

[aggie08 21434]

About fucking time. I know KD has the hot hand, but Houston hadn't even attempted to keep a competent defender on Curry on switches the last few possessions.

[NowThis 931]

total fucking chaos

KD hasn't really been hot either, he's simply been better initiating offense.  He didn't shoot well, but he had an excellent game (except for that turnover.  lol).  He's been the best defender on the court.  Chris Paul is a great player and excellent throwback PG, but he's a little bitch sometimes.

[Machinator 32097]

This game is a huge missed opportunity for Houston.

[TonyTexas 10482]

This game is a huge missed opportunity for Houston.

The refs took that opportunity away

LMAO Harden. Fucking clown usual. But wah wah wah refs hate us!!

I feel that way too, but there's a lot for Houston to build on and I'm sure they'll be trying to influence the refs.  They didn't shoot all that great and were pretty bad from 3.  On the other hand, the Warriors were terrible protecting the ball, consistently with unforced turnovers and some FT shooting.  This was not a pretty game but it was hard played and a solid watch.

Maybe Harden makes the 3 if he doesn't jump 4 feet forward and kick his legs out?

Cool.  Sports identity defines my life.  I wept into my pizza while I was vacationing in Italy.  Lets go with that

[NowThis 931]

Depth is a huge Houston strength, so why is fucktard Dantoni reducing the rotation? 

btw, PJ Tucker is done.

It must really suck being a butthurt Mavs fan who has to resort to pulling for GS.

This. Fuck that guy. I hope he never wins shit.

[satyanash 14281]

1) Jamal Crawford's the master of the 'kick out your legs' move on the jump shot to draw contact. Harden's doing nothing new or innovative there.

2) Refs are never going to call that on the last play of a playoff game.

You mean shouldering the defender like a running back, and then landing 2 ft in front of where he started the jumpshot doesn't merit a defensive foul?

 

RIGGED!!!

It was more like 4 feet though. He starts well behind the 3 point line then flails his legs out and touches it. 

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

[Rockethorn1978 6061]

If people can’t see they are jumping into harden it’s just being a hater. Remember when kawhi rolled his ankle because of getting where he lands taken away? 

Refs will come out and say “whoops we missed it” and next game same stuff.

[NowThis 931]

GS did play suffocating D, good looks were rare.  I put the blame on Dantoni for not playing Faried and overplaying tucker for 36 minutes and no production.

Yea I feel great and I’m sure you do too hanging out on surly being a internet millionaire. You screaming for mom to make you a snack while you burn all of us on the message board? Bet you are a super tough guy.

[Focht Up 631]

That was the worst officiated game i've seen in a long time.  Ironically, GS fans at one point were doing the "ref you suck" chant.  That fan base is the NBA equivalent of aggy.

Jesus, no shit. Houston shot more free throws, despite shooting over twice as many 3's. There were some bad calls (at least two of Klay's contests in the first half), but Harden trying to draw a foul on that last 3 wasn't one of them. Someone chases Steph or Klay around a screen, tries to contest, and lands in their airspace a few times a game. Sometimes it's called, most of the time it's not.

And the Rockets should have shot even more free throws, what's your point? Harden isn't "trying to draw the foul" on any of these 3s. That's not why he's taking the shot. He's taking the 3 to make the fucking 3. He just also gets fouled a ton on them because it's hard to legitimately challenge the step back without jumping into where he is going to land. And he got fouled numerous times this game with no call.

It's not about seeing contact or being a "hater". It's about a guy who has spent almost his entire career trying to draw fouls with unnatural motions on every shot. That further pussifies the game of basketball well beyond it's already massively pussified state. It basically turns the game into a soccer flopping match. 

The rip-through rule might as well be named after him. It's definitely made the game better. 

On that last play, he jumps forward and flails his legs out. There's nothing natural about that shooting motion. Same as Draymond's nut shots of the past. 

Make the shot instead of trying to clown your way to the free throw line. 

Jesus christ, we need a middle ground between the 90s Knicks-Heat boxing matches where you had to get punched to shoot freethrows, and 60 total free throws a game for just flailing around on every shot.

His legs were kicked out on that last one before any contact was initiated. I seriously question that making the shot was the only thing on his mind with the way he had been shooting.
