2015 NBA Playoffs Thread

Rockets have no shot if the refs let GSW defend Harden like that. He would have had at least 3 more trips to the line against a lesser team.

This Oracle crowd has nothing on that Mavericks series years ago

Game is over. Rockets only chance was pouncing on them and never letting them back in the game. Warrior went on the run, McHale did nothing about it, gave them life, now its done.

 

[Ruggeder]

GSW sure do get some bs calls.

 

[Danny DiVito]

Curry is a cocky SOB

God damn we all knew the Rockets wouldn't hold the lead.

 

[melecoaze]

fucking rockets screwed up

If Draymond Green can successfully guard Howard this series is a wrap.

Rockets just completely stopped playing defense.

The refs pretty much prevented them from playing defense.

Every time a Rockets player touched anyone, it was a foul.

Then, if you breathed on a Warriors player, it was a foul. On the other side of the ball, Howard was getting manhandled with no calls, and it took Harden literally slamming his arm into Thompson to draw a foul.

Rockets can't win if refs don't call the game evenly.

He can't guard him without fouling. The Warriors push in the back a lot when they go small.

I was neutral on Golden State until I really started listening to every NBA podcast I could find this post season. The podcast that changed by thoughts on the Warriors was ESPN's TrueHoop podcast with Ethan Strauss , Tom Haberstrouh, and Amin. These guys basically use an hour and half to talk nothing but how the Warriors can do no wrong and other fan bases are all whiny idiots. I guess I'm the idiot for listening to it. So now Warriors are my least favorite team and I'm watching the playoffs for two reasons. 1. Root for the cavs. 2. Root against the warriors , just because I can't stand those TrueHoop guys.

Or if their coach is mentally challenged.

Damn the Warriors are scary good. They can make near 20 point leads evaporate in a matter of minutes.

 

[Taiter]

Harden is so good at faking contact that if the refs stop calling fouls he'll be getting what he deserves. When they go back and watch the tape I wonder what % of his fouls really are fouls... 40%? I mean, there was one on Sunday where he persuasively faked being clobbered on a drive and the replay showed he wasn't touched (foul called). It was infuriating, albeit impressive in a maddening sort of way.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

25-6 run by the Dubs to end the half.

I reiterate that I wish DEATH BY BOOGA-BOOGA on the Rockets. I don't want to see them anywhere near The Finals.
