Sittin' Sidewayz Dem Boys In The Bay: Official Warriors vs. Rockets Western Conference Finals Thread

[Xerces]

And how many times are going to see Harden push off with his forearm?? but but but the refs

 

[street heat]

they are complaining more about the calls the rockets DIDNT get.... the ones that led to turnovers and warriors going the other way for a basket

So the refs let both teams play and it hurt the Rockets more because they rely on the refs more.....got it

Y’all said on this forum that once the refs swallow their whistles, he would turn in Corey Magritte.

I didn't watch the game, I just looked at the box score just now. It says Houston scored 9 points in the fourth quarter.
Nine. points.
Golden state scored 31 points in the 4th. To the people that watched, did the refs cook this game?

There were 2 Rockets possessions in the 3rd quarter where Harden got mauled and there was no whistle. I was staring at the TV in disbelief.

Were those two plays decisive? I don't think so. All Season the Warriors have been deadly in the third quarter and I think they would have been hitting shots regardless but I do think it killed some of the Rockets momentum and probably caused Harden to reconsider what he normally does. Hard to measure the impact of that but nevertheless they should have just blown the f****** whistle and let the Warriors win this fair and square. I think the Warriors win anyway and the NBA keeps their integrity instead of giving the conspiracy theorists more ammunition.

All you clowns talking about the Refs helped GS.. This is the same exact Ref crew who ref’ed game 2 where GS got blow out

Don’t believe me look it up

Oh you mean the same crew who extended the series to 1-1 instead of 2-0. The point of fixing games doesn't have to be to help my team as much as it is to generate ratings by extending the series. If the Rockets win game 6 there's no game 7 and there is less $$$$$$$$$$$. Same thing happens if the Warriors win game 2. Same crew huh?

Same crew.. That almost never happens where the same crew is together for 2 games in the same series

Ohh and btw, The Warriors were called for more fouls than the Rockets last night despite the Warriors having more possessions. Think about that before you talk about the NBA helping the Warriors.

Nobody’s making excuses for KD
If anything..
People looking at him funny..
If the Warriors lose this series..
Steph and KD deserve all the criticism in the world(granted Steph been balling since he woke the fukk up)..
Can’t slide or hide anymore...
This series shouldn’t be as close or as hard as the Warriors are making it

If they are overrated, then it should he hard. Rockets had a wonderful opportunity and fukked it all up.

The whole game stats don't reflect the officiating in the third quarter. It was a 20-plus point turn around from the Rockets being up 10 to the Warriors being up 10. That's what everybody's upset about. I don't think you can watch the third quarter objectively and feel like the fouls were called evenly. I guess Harden has bad karma because he has been flopping all season but they didn't call legitimate hard fouls on the Warriors and we're calling touch fouls on the Rockets. Breh, I live in Oakland and was rooting for the Warriors and even I saw it. It just hurts the league when they do this shyt.

Houston is not beating the Warriors without cp3.

On the bright side Klay isn’t going for 35 again and the rockets are not scoring no 25 points in the second half again neither.

But that won’t mean much because cp3 is needed. He would have provided offense as motivation during that second half burst by the warriors but on the bright side it was still a good decision to not play him for game 6.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

It’s looking so bad that I might not even want to watch the game Monday if cp3 is not playing!

Well, both can be true. Just because they were called for more fouls doesn't really mean anything. Basketball is a game of runs and swallowing the whistle at key moments when a team has the momentum can change the outcome

Been reading update after update and it looks even worse. Not one confident source saying Cp3 will play come game 7

People thinking that he's gonna pull a Willis Reed, take a numbing shot and play tomorrow.. things are not going to go the way they think. They will absolutely torch CP3 defensively if he's on the court.

People get injured. It's a really, really tough break... but it happens all the time. Houston fans can have some solace in thinking they would've won the series if CP3 was healthy.
