***2018-19 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD***

Here is a video that was posted to r/warriors

Shows 25 closeout shots. The Rockets were doing the same thing as what they accused the Warriors of. In some cases, it seems intentional (see: CP3).

So the Rockets are saying they "have research that SHOWS Warriors get favorable officiating, claim it cost them 93 points in last years WCF"

It's Ironically sad that they are using their own research on Fouls missed to try and claim they had games stolen from them. How about playing the game strait up instead of trying to draw a foul or contact on nearly every possession??

Love me some dame, at least on offense. Think he has always been an elite offensive player/person. But doesn't this guy still live with his mom?

More players should. Especially NFL players. Maybe they will stay out of trouble that way!

Hockey does it best. Every rookie lives with a veteran and his family the first year.

This is a clear foul. A ref missing this kind of call shouldn't be a ref.

On Harden, yeah

Uhhh

That foul should have been called and is on Klay because of the hip check or body contact but I do believe the defender is allowed a landing spot to come down when he's challenging a shot too. The rule applied to a guy walking their feet under the landing spot of the shooter where Klay on this one is airborne just as Harden is. Harden just deliberately jumps forward for contact on every shot, you can't claim a safe space 3 feet away from yourself and expect it to be called.

The thing that gets me is Steph has contact made on him on nearly every 3 attempt and rarely gets the call but you don't see him come on national TV and b***h like the Rockets are with their analytics and claiming they were the champs last year....

I read the Rocket's "report" said they were fouled on 2 of the 23 straight 3s they missed in game 7 last year loll. How could anyone straight face say they should be champions when they take/miss 23 straight 3s in a game. That's such a loser mentality.

NBA last two minutes report says they missed a travel on Thompson, foul on Curry on Gordon (what Paul got tossed for arguing) and foul on Curry when Harden stepped out of bounds which would have fouled him out.

That's all in the final 2 minutes so uh, yeah, GS is getting assists from reffing.

So you mean Curry should have fouled out before hitting a critical 3 pointer? And you don't think that is an assist from the refs? Ok, at least you are unbiased lol.

Deadspin Article on Rockets officiating memo

"It's not enough that the Houston Rockets have to whine that they lost Game 1 because the refs didn't take their signature gaming of the "landing zone" rule as seriously as usual. They elected to follow that snit with what is perhaps the most pathetically lame sports media leak of all time, as ESPN miraculously got its hands on a report made by the Rockets that details 81 questionable calls in Game 7 of last year's Western Conference Finals. That absurdly comprehensive list of grievances, which was initially made possible because the NBA gave Houston a full-game version of their typical last-two-minutes referee report, is accompanied by a memo that the Rockets reportedly never sent, because they conveyed its message during in-person meetings with the league."

I'm confused as to why you think I think that. You must not read the thread if you think I'm a GS supporter.
