2018-19 Houston Rockets Thread of running it back (mainly)

Yup. The games are rigged, I went from watching every Rockets game to just peeking in every once in a while. Now I watched about 30 min of playoff basketball until last night. Game 1 tells me what's going to happen. 

Clutch city will get dragged along for 6 or 7 games to keep it interesting, but ultimately we get screwed. 

Tough for Durant, he's playing awesome and the story of the game is biased officiating.

The two min report is a fuckin joke btw. Those were hilarious reads last year. They skip over the worst and spin it like oops we missed something inconsequential here and there.

I turned it off in the 2nd half, and went did work. Came back and watched the final quarter on DVR in 4 minutes. The NBA has a real problem as the playoffs ratings continue to slide.

If the rockets lose Tuesday it’s over because they will have to win 4 straight to win the series. We all know if this gets to game 7 in oracle there is no way we win.

What a shit show.

On the play at the end of the game - 1) it sure seemed CP3 got fouled although I understand it was a little bit of a loose ball situation; 2) why didn’t they review who the ball went out on?

bullshit explanation coming soon

3 INC calls against Houston in the last 2 minutes, so how about the other 46? lol...

Does INC mean 'incorrect' or 'incompetent' ? Or why not both??

At least it's not a suspension, because that would be a clear signal that the fix is in.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26634745/rockets-audited-18-game-7-say-finals-bid-taken

Interesting how they analyzed missed calls working against both the Warriors and the Rockets - fucking loser Warrior fans have been crying that the Rockets don't take into account calls that went against them.

Make no mistake the fix has always been in.

Morey’s best point in that article is the last sentence. 

Playoff Refs should be chosen by “call accuracy” not “experience” as the older refs are the worst offenders. 

Scott foster isn’t a good official for tons of teams. I’m pretty sure GS doesn’t like him either, could be wrong though.

holy fuck, what a horrible look for the nba.  i'd expect something like that from david stern, but i'm legitimately surprised it happened under adam silver.

Anybody else 0-6 in the playoffs the last couple of years when Foster calls their game?

Adam Silver was groomed by David Stern. I wouldn't be surprised.

Hey I said I could be wrong, gave myself a back door out.

I will say the nba just gave Houston a middle finger. Would be incredible to see them play so well the refs won’t matter tonight.

I know. Just blown away by the audacity of the decision to put him on this game.

I’m not, they are sending houston a message for complaining so loudly. Again play out of your mind and make Scott foster not matter.

Well i guess it will be an early night.

Unless the nba is doing the ultimate troll job and sending in the most hated ref for rockets....then most hated ref turns babyface and is rockets bff....rockets win game....nba says to everyone "SEEEEE WE DON'T SUCK"


Then come Saturday everything goes right back to shit.

9:30pm which more likely 9:40ish tip off is so late. I’m gonna try to stay up but I have to get up at 5am so dvr is probably the route I’m gonna go.

To be honest though foster being assigned actually strengthens the rockets conspiracy stuff with all the beat writers.

I can only hope, but the NBA is playing mind games with the Rockets right now to ensure the golden boys get through.

At least the media isn't afraid to be speak truth to what the NBA is doing.

Fuck Scott Foster and fuck those game 1 refs.

We are going to win.  

 

The Warriors shoot a lot of 3's also.  Step under them and make them land on your feet if it is not going to be called.  Klay and Step won't last long if the rules are not enforced and we play defense the same way.

Exactly, take them out. Curry and/or Klay out for the series, means the Rockets would win rather easily.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, Foster issued 18 fouls (personal or technical) in the Feb. 21 game -- 12 against the Rockets and six against the Lakers. Seven of the fouls against the Rockets, who blew a 19-point lead in the second half, occurred in the fourth quarter. Houston did not attempt a free throw in the final 20 minutes of the game, compared to 17 free throws for the Lakers during that span.

member that game?  I member...  funny how it ended up costing us the #2 seed.

That's the only way to win this series.

Disagree.  If they aren’t calling the fouls on stepping under a jump shooter, then start doing it.  Don’t bitch.

Don't let it matter. Just shoot the shot.

Let's go.  If we bury enough threes, we can overcome the Warriors, Oracle, and Scott Foster at the same god damned time.  Get mad and focus.

PJ is probably my favorite Rocket. Love his intensity. Let’s fucking go. Get Faried some minutes tonight and crash the board. 

Fuck you warrior fans I hope all of you get poked in the eye on the way home

 

 

Just awful fucking basketball, can’t believe I’m staying up to watch this shit show

Complete shit

some people thrive under pressure, Harden is the exact opposite
