    Lol @ crying to the league about the officiating.

    THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT!

    THIS IS WHAT THE FANS WANT TO SEE!

    News flash!

    The rockets are THE most hated team in the league.

    The casuals love seeing this and getting their memes off on social media.

    What??? How do you think our players get open shots if Harden doesn’t drive? We always drive that’s 50% of our offense. Layups and threes.

    Come on, surely you can reason. You are telling me that if Tucker and Green don't hit at least 3 of the threes they had wide open, the Rockets don't win this game? The Rockets weren't being aggressive in the fourth and instead were settling. Harden has gotten way to happy with his step back three and he has not been as aggressive going to the rim (although tonight there were two shitty calls against him the times he did drive).

    The reality is that we aren't a championship team and we are very beatable. It's upsetting knowing what we had last season.

    Sure. :rolleyes: When the commentators have nothing to say about the game but the refs, you might have a problem. I'm a big fan of "take the loss and don't blame the refs."

    But when things are obvious, just say it.

    I'm pretty sure the Fertittas have mob connections so there might be other channels available...

    Rockets were up 19! I'm not disputing the rigging of the game, but Rockets play smart and this game is salted away. Not only that, 4 points were taken from the Lakers too. I blame the Rockets more than the corrupt ass refs.

    If that happened on Warriors, Steve Kerr would do that right away.

    Once again, how does Harden's shot selection have ANYTHING to do with "shooters" going 1 for 12 on open looks. Hell I can probably give you 1-12 in the NBA if I get open looks!

    I respect that you have your opinion. It is a piss poor one. But I respect you have one.

    It was the other way. Paul would go off in the first half and harden would bring it home. Btw, is this alternate account 107 now Lorna malvo, and whatever other ids you use?

    Well make your shots, play smart especially when you know the refs were out for blood. And for crying out loud play some defense.

    We cant control those things, we can control not blowing 19 point leads, Harden can control his shot selection.
