At least it's not just our guys. And this is a home game for Houston too. I know they're missing their great point guard, but so were we. Does anyone think that Kyrie goes 2-14 (and 0-10 from three) in a game 7? No way.0 for last 22 on 3's for Houston. How did Rozier and Smart get to Houston so fast?
Draymond's offering to pull up Harden then throwing him back down was in the running for Douche of the Year, an award that should probably be named after him.Warriors are a group of unlikeable front runners and I can’t believe I have to root for them again for the fourth straight finals.
It's really impressive that they would, with halfway reasonable officiating, have been up slightly in the midst of an 0-23 stretch from three.Houston’s offense is built around the three pointer and when they are not making them they are going to suffer greatly.
That doesn’t excuse the horrible officiating today.
I don't believe in ref conspiracy theories, but while what you say might be true, wouldn't this year's ratings have an effect on next year's ad revenue? I mean, they have to base it on something.The ads for the finals have already been sold. The revenue doesn't change depending on the the teams
That’s a good answer.I don’t buy at all the theory that the NBA is picking and choosing who gets the calls and who doesn’t in order to determine the matchup that will generate the highest viewership.
I think the refereeing in general is inconsistent and the players know how to take advantage of it; and in the playoffs those mistakes are magnified.
Actually, I think it was two douches coming together. Draymond tried to help him up, but Harden didn't want to get up and just pulled back, so Green basically said "Fuck you then.."Draymond's offering to pull up Harden then throwing him back down was in the running for Douche of the Year, an award that should probably be named after him.
I think harden refused to be helped up. It was a battle royale of doucheDraymond's offering to pull up Harden then throwing him back down was in the running for Douche of the Year, an award that should probably be named after him.
OK that makes more sense.I think harden refused to be helped up. It was a battle royale of douche
Regression to the mean is a real thing.Ah, the Gambler's Fallacy. They have to fall eventually, right? Didn't work for us last night.
I think it was a giant douche and a turd sandwich.Actually, I think it was two douches coming together. Draymond tried to help him up, but Harden didn't want to get up and just pulled back, so Green basically said "Fuck you then.."
Yes, but there's no guarantee it will happen before the end of this game.Regression to the mean is a real thing.
Yeah, it turns out if you completely demoralize a team and devalue their effort, they play worse the rest of the game.And now the Rockets bricks will overshadow the ref influence
How does that explain the three 3PA the Warriors fouled Harden on that weren’t called correctly?I don’t buy at all the theory that the NBA is picking and choosing who gets the calls and who doesn’t in order to determine the matchup that will generate the highest viewership.

Yup, since about 3 minutes into this game, it's been pretty much the exact replica of yesterday's game.And now the Rockets bricks will overshadow the ref influence
He didn’t throw him back down, harden refused the help is what I saw.Draymond's offering to pull up Harden then throwing him back down was in the running for Douche of the Year, an award that should probably be named after him.
Ah, the Gambler's Fallacy. They have to fall eventually, right? Didn't work for us last night.
Regression to the mean is a real thing.
The hoop can remain irrational longer than I can remain liquored up?Yes, but there's no guarantee it will happen before the end of this game.
As if we needed a reminder. Celtics and Rockets from downtown:Yup, since about 3 minutes into this game, it's been pretty much the exact replica of yesterday's game.
Yup, and remember Jaylen hit one basically at the final buzzer to get the C's #7.As if we needed a reminder. Celtics and Rockets from downtown:
Celtics: 7-39
Rockets: 6-39
Creepy.
Yep. And #7 was the Jalen three in garbage time.As if we needed a reminder. Celtics and Rockets from downtown:
Celtics: 7-39
Rockets: 6-39
Creepy.
Not sure about the other two, but for at least one of them, the ref closest to the play clearly had a bad angle on it. I was not surprised that he missed the foul after watching the replay.How does that explain the three 3PA the Warriors fouled Harden on that weren’t called correctly?
The refs are inconsistent on how they call that play; so they didn’t call that a foul even though a lot of refs WOULD have called it.How does that explain the three 3PA the Warriors fouled Harden on that weren’t called correctly?
I’m pretty sure Durant shot that over TatumThat might be a dagger
Somebody handed27 missed 3's in a row must be some kind of a record.
