Lebron was moving at the end.

Will Foster overturn it?

Perfect challenge. If only we had 20 more of those.

That challenge pisse me of you could see in live play that lebron wasn’t set and it was a block. No way should houston have to challenge this, get it **** right the first time that’s an easy call

LeBron moved last second so that's a block but wouldn't waste a challenge so early

Excellent challenge.

Call these homer officials out and get LeBron in potential foul trouble.

Too early to use a challenge, that won’t get overturned anyway.

You should get a challenge back if you win it.

NBA needs to rectify that for next season.

Stop reaching. (Should have been on the floor, though.)


lol What is the defender to do when Harden is barreling towards you regardless if you're in the way or not? Yeah, give Harden a full 10 feet to operate so that doesn't happen. Give me a break.

Take Green out of the starting lineup, replace him with Prime Time Dion

I like the challenges but maybe the nba should do 1 per half instead of one all game that way you wont. Feel stupid wasting one early in the game

Agreed. But the "Scott Foster formula" is this (I think)...

Make sure the Rockets get some favorable treatment in the first 3 quarters of the game, so the avalanche of lopsided calls can go against them when it matters most. Lakers fans aren't going to believe that, but I bet OKC fans would understand it.
