Westbrook fouling out would actually be good for the Rockets this game.

The stupid thing is that they called neither. "loose ball foul" Even I don't get how that was called.

Yeah, I guess they just assumed he was going to turn it over

If Russ is gonna play like that on defense with the foul trouble, he might as well sit.

That's such a BS call by the refs, loose ball? Wanna take a guess why the goddamn ball was loose?

Refs trying to make it seem like their job is a lot more complex and complicated.
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.

Personally I want the Rox to win, but tbh I feel a Lakers win coming up.

You cannot bung up a coaches challenge like that. We all see the replay like 5+ times at least from multiple angles. If there is anytime you have to make the right call it is then. Why purposefully damage your product like that? And that wasn't even a difficult call to make in the slightest.

For **** sake, please let Westbrook get his sixth foul before that pullup 3 fills his head with the confidence to try that garbage another dozen times.

Lakers do not appear to have answers. Playing a game the rockets want. This does not look good

That Westbrook pull-up three might be bad news for the Rockets. That might give him confidence to keep jacking those up in the 4th :lol:

I naturally want to cheer against Houston but at the same time I'd really like to see them in a series vs. Clippers.

I legitimately think DAntoni wants him to get his 6th so he doesn't have to worry about playing him anymore.

Lakers season on the line. MDA should sub rondo on early and go on a run.
