Re: WCF: P6 | (1) Houston Rockets vs (2) Golden State Warriors | GS WINS 4-3

[hongdayuan]

For a bit there, I was thinking GS would need a 5th Hall of Famer to pull it out...

they did, but iggy had bone bruise in his knee.

If Refs called it right and Rockets had a 20 point lead in the 3th I believe guys like Ariza would shoot with way more confidence and Harden would not be as gassed in the 4th. I hardly believe they would miss 27 3-pts if they had a big lead. Warriors were and are still the better team and they are not the reason Rockets sucked from 3 but you got to wonder how this game would be different if not the missed calls.

Never happened so please stop these fairy tales. We all saw how the Rockets choked worse than the Celtics....stop stop blaming others.

CP3 After Steph hit a lucky 3 in the first Quarter. Got this from the Warriors board. The Reaction on the Assistant Coaches face is hilarious. :lol: :lol:

People don't acknowledge they're the best team ever. You're not supposed to beat them :lol:

True it never happened and I still said Rockets sucked from the 3 and the Warriors are the better team. What I was saying is that missed calls could have affected them mentally and against a historic team like GSW you need every inch you can have. That's a lot of ifs and thats all I'm saying.

[10DayContract]

For the series Harden shot 19/78 from 3s! WOW he tried so hard to like his guys Westbrook. LOL

well to be fair, KD in 2016 against the dubs shot 42% Fg and 28% from 3, Harden in this series was at 41% and 26% from 3. I think they just both need a looot of help to be efficient. KD has that now. It is what it is

It's fatigue. That's what this is all about.

rockets miss alot of threes but I can't get over these calls.we only had a punchers chance without paul and refs took that away with these calls. clear momentum swings

It's hard to believe they would have missed 27 straight regardless, up, down, reg season or post, but they choked. Houston role players forced shots knowing they had to step up to cover Harden's inevitable disappearing act, while Curry strutted through the third quarter raining threes and orchestrating the offense like he was going for a bike ride on the weekend with Ayesha and the girls.

Sure, a few calls were missed. Happens in every game during the regular season too. Doesn't change the fact the Dubs came out, ran plays and put it in the net from distance repeatedly in back to back second halves of must win games, while the rockets shrunk. Can't put that on the refs

As a Rockets fan, its devastating to come so close and just fall short. The Chris Paul injury eventually proved costly. Proud of what they've done this season but i wonder if they'll ever have a better chance to beat these Warriors team.

Of course they will have better chances at that title. Rockets' GM is a good one......

I disagree with "a few calls missed here and there, it happens", in my opinion they changed the momentum and GSW took full advantage. I'm playing with what if's here, GSW were still the better team.

The refs definitely screwed the rockets, but I agree that 0-27 is random halftime show random fan level shooting. Only the worst of those fans would shoot that badly. They shot like a team that had no business playing organized basketball.

So were Warriors fans.

I'm pretty sure Iguodala is a HOF.

EXCLUSIVE: NEW YORK — NBA referee Tim Donaghy made repeated phone calls to a second referee at the same time he provided inside information to professional gamblers during the course of the 2006-2007 season, according to court documents and phone records obtained by FOXNews.com.

The records show Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster — more than the 126 calls Donaghy made to his bookie — between October 2006 and April 2007, the period during which he has confessed to either betting on games or passing on game information to gamblers. The majority of the phone calls lasted no more than two minutes and occurred prior to and after games Donaghy officiated and on which he admits wagering.

1st one is a flop
2nd one was a foul, but not a shooting foul, he reached then Harden jumped
3rd one wasn't a shooting foul, he hit his chest before he jumped
4th one rule of verticality
5th one Harden pulled Bell down

stopped watching after that because you're basing your opinions on Reggie and C-Webb overreactions and you're obviously wearing red-colored glasses.

I listened to the post game on NBA radio last night and the two morning shows today, and I haven't heard one person (all neutral commentators) mention the refs in anyway.

[ISayshowmee]

Now now boys and girls...some of these salty fans are now claiming..

Because of the refs, Rockets shot 0-27 on their 3's !! You can't make this up.....

LOL yea warriors have never benefited from no calls on moving screens.

I'm not blaming the refs since the Rockets dug their own graves with the chucking but the Rockets did get a bad whistle. Both things can be true.

[ISayshowmee]

Serious question:

Why did the Rockets abandon their pick 'n roll play that worked wonderfully with Capela in the 1st half ?

There's probably 20 moving screens in every NBA game that aren't called. People also stick their butt out all the time on screens, which you're not supposed to do, and they rarely call it. It's a look the other way part of the game just like traveling. Unfortunately, the only time they seem to call moving screens or dirty picks is when players embellish it.
