I know we all complain about the officiating, and sometimes with good reason. However, this takes it to a new level. I find it ironic that the Rockets are complaining the officials cost them a game in which they missed 27 three point shots in a row. Many of these were wide open looks.

The Kings would have a much stronger argument from the 2002 Kings-Lakers series Game 7 in the WCF. The Blazers have a good argument from the 2000 Blazers-Lakers finals.

The Rockets clearly leaked this report now from last year's game 7 after Game 1 of this series to get a message across. How about not going 0 for fricking 27 from 3? When you have the guy on your team that gets bailed out and gets FTs for kicking his legs out and flopping on offense and defense? You really want to go down this road? If you make it so you can't touch guys on defense, Steph Curry and Durant will score 50 each.

These Rockets are the biggest whiner babies in the NBA. They had no business winning game 1 & are pissed they couldn't steal it. 

Basically they just want to be able to shoot the basketball like it's a practice shoot-around. Heyyyyy.....you can't play defense on us!!

Harden can't stand it that teams are now guarding him from behind & he can't step back anymore. Not our problem puss-boy -- it's called adjustments & you can thank Eric Bledsoe & Coach Bud for releasing the blueprint on Houston. 

Doc Rivers cried about the refs after game 1 too vs. the Clippers - then they proceeded to get just about every call the rest of the series. 

The refs we're 100% consistent in game 1 with NOT calling that bullshit "jump forward 3 feet when you shoot so you get a foul call" The defender has as much right to that space as the offensive player. The Warriors didn't get that call either in game 1.

I'm going to game #2. Can't wait to watch & see what the Association has cooked up for game 2

You could make a strong case that no player has benefitted more this season from gracious officiating than James Harden.  Half his game is that step back (Iā€™m not traveling) jumper, and when heā€™s not doing that heā€™s not falling into guys or sticking his leg out to draw contact.  **** him.  

Then you have Chris Paul.  Maybe the rumors about him are true that heā€™s a passive aggressive beeotch.  All I know is that no player comes up smaller come playoff time than him.  If heā€™s not getting hurt heā€™s tanking.  Heā€™s the Barry Bonds of the NBA.

Case in point.....

Fouls called on 3-pt shots this season. #2 & #3 were tied with 34 - Terrence Ross & Kemba Walker. 

You know James is #1.

How many foul calls do you think he received?

95. Ninety-****ing-five fouls called on 3 pt shots. He's gaming the system to get to the line & he whines like a pussy when he doesn't get that call. 

Flat out.  Rockets are not as good as the Warriors. They hate it & the Warriors are in their heads. 

Rockets absolutely must win game 2 or their season is over & they know it. They're not beating the W's 4 out of 5 if they go down 0-2 unless they injure Curry or Klay or Durant. 

Now you know why I'm going to game #2. It's going to be fascinating basketball.
