    They would have won though if they had 6-12 FTs that should have been called.

    Seems like everyone (media) has gotten tired of the warriors except the NBA brass. People are finally realizing.

    If ****ing skip the ultimate Harden & rockets hater is saying this... then it's more than obvious that nba is protecting the warriors from losing game one.

    Warriors are good enough to beat us by cheating.....game 6/7 last year WCF...game 1 this year WCSF...during regular seasons referees were less biased (though still favored GS) and the outcome was rockets won both last year and this year's regular season matchup.

    But JR, the issue is magnified when fines happen ...not to mention the constant film clips of MDA or whoever being shown...keeps it "out there longer...and it needs to be.

    Hopefully Austin Rivers available for game 2. Better than Shumpert.

    Bucher, Gobert, Steve Javie: whole lot of people who normally don't give the Rockets the benefit of the doubt, yet thought this was a screw job. Surprised nobody stuck a mike in Dan Crawford's face and asked him if this reminded him of old times.

    Also, lets say they DO call those fouls.

    Say they call the first two...you know what happens? Klay stops doing it and Harden can rise up and comfortably shoot his shot. It absolutely affects how you defend. If the refs allow a team to be more physical than that team will be more physical while the other team will play more passive.

    Klay should have had to play more cautiously if the refs called it fairly. That means giving Harden more space to operate and thus making it easier for Harden. As it happened though Harden had no shot to get into a rhythm because every time he takes a jump shot he has to think about his ankles being turned. He even mentioned Kawhi in the post game presser so I'm sure that's on his mind.

    Honestly, Rockets should just do it right back. If Curry or Durant or Klay turn an ankle, oh well, this is what they wanted.

    If we lose CP on this it will obviously hurt us tremendously.

    The only game that maybe called fairly would be game 7
