Refs always hold back their whistles on the last shots man. Jordan's most iconic moment was a push off. Y'all need to stop bringing that up.

Bottom line is if we had done what we were supposed to do then we wouldn't have been in a position where the game came down to the last seconds. Nice work by the Rockets to close out the game.


But it's still fu*k the Rockets though.....

When have we ever gotten every call? If the refs were biased Bogut and Livingston wouldn't have gotten in foul trouble early and they would've called that pushoff by the flop.

I don't mean literally EVERY call. But I expect Dwight to get 2 fouls in the first quarter maybe even Harden too. I expect for some reason the Rockets screens setters to be moving the majority of time, especially in the 3rd and 4th quarters. And I expect the Rockets not to get to the free throw line more than 20 times unless the hack strategy is utilized.

Without Steph I think this series goes 6 or 7 with the Warriors still winning.
With him this would have been a sweep.
Although the Rockets have the best player on the court with Steph sitting they still haven't looked like the best team.
Warriors make 2 more 3s(and they had plenty open chances) and they win last night as well.
But with this being the playoffs I don't think you take chances here, if Steph can play, then he should play.

What I really want to know was if Harden had driven to the basket and been mauled would the whistle have been blown or would the NBA release a statement the next day saying that GSW should have been whistled for a foul?

Oh and you can expect GSW to get every call in Game 4.

No way they are going to call that at that moment. I'm not really upset that they didn't call it. I didn't like the Warriors last playcall more than anything.

Lets stop this BS about the Warriors getting every call. That hasn't been happening and that's not gonna happen.The refs for the most part are letting some physical stuff go, it just makes the light fouls look that much worse when they call em.

Do players get fined for flagrant fouls? If not, why does it even matter?


Flagrant 2 then his next one is an automatic 1 game suspension
In addition, in order to address the problem of repeat offenders, the following three-point system will be in effect during the 2010 Playoffs onward:

• Flagrant "1" = 1 point

• Flagrant "2" = 2 points

A player will receive the points set forth above for each flagrant foul committed during the Playoffs. If the player's Playoff total exceeds 3 points, he will receive an automatic suspension following the game in which his point total exceeds 3 points and for each additional flagrant foul committed during the Playoffs, as follows:

Player at 2 points commits a FFP2: automatic one-game suspension

Player at 3 or 4 points commits a FFP1: automatic one-game suspension

Player at 3 or 4 points commits a FFP2: automatic two-game suspension

Player at 5 points or more commits a FFP1 or FFP2: automatic two-game suspension
