It moves fast, so you'll need to do a lot of rewinding. The Rockets took control in the first, the refs took control in the second and third, and by the fourth Houston understood they were facing an impossible task that was not, in its essence, a basketball game.
wow.. and i thought it was just game 7 that was in question
crazy when i watching this game at the time, it was moving so fast, and tnt rarely showed the replays of the questionable stuff so i just assumed the refs made the right call and yes that harden foul on durant in the corner.. no way in heck is that a 3-shot foul.. thats a "foul on the floor" all day long
Why would it only be Game 7 when the point was to get the Warriors in the Finals? Think, my friend!
EDIT: I'm not double-checking the foul you're referring to, so I don't know if this is relevant, but it's important to know there was a MAJOR difference between what was a shooting foul and what was on the floor compared to now. This was particularly relevant in Game 7. In 2018, rip-throughs were still shooting fouls (if the offensive player continued into a shooting motion). That was the last season that this was true.
im agreeing with you 100%
to me these games only add to hardens greatness in my eyes, if the league felt that they needed to intervene to help an atg team like 18' warriors advance over a team that lost chris paul, that tells me that the league still felt that a harden-led rockets team with just harden/gordon/capela was still enough by themselves to get past golden state.
