    The reason why is because it matches a fix. They called two quick fouls on harden to make him chill out. That’s how that one ref said he would start games out.

    Jesus Christ. If you're gonna make a statement and get a tech coach, you should go all out and get the **** thrown out of the game. Thats the only way to get the leagues attention.

    Harden is forcing it too much.

    EIGHT Turnovers..... with 6 assists.

    ISO is great many times, but let's decrease.

    We also have zero good shooters.

    I don’t necessarily blame the refs but how many games has CP3 and Harden fouled out of individually let alone fouled out together?

    Greens brick fest cost the game. If he would have hit just 2 we likely would have won.

    And the NBA claims they dont have issues with Refs fixing games like that one ref did 10 years ago anymore. That stuff never stopped. Tonight's game is proof.

    Harden and Chris both fouled out. Foster should have been in jail legitimately years ago. This is jacked.

    Chris Webber used a great term to describe the reffing - he said "Chris Paul felt that the last foul call was anticipated."

    The reffing in this game was highly anticipated. It's the first time the Rockets have lost to the Lakers this year (if I'm not mistaken), and it took an absolute reffing avalanche to turn the tide. Completely one-sided game. The NBA put Scott Foster in this game to keep the Lakers in the playoff hunt, and Paul and D'Antoni know it.

    We're also to blame. But those charges on Harden were a joke. They weren't even close to being charges.

    The NBA want the Lakers in the playoffs. It wouldn't surprise me if they get all the calls from now on.

    This L is not on the refs. It's on James.
    He's not only iso every possession, but also iso himself from the rest of the team. ZERO teamwork, ugly basketball. F the 30pt streak.

    Refs were shocking but when you're up 19 and start jacking up **** and stop playing how you got your lead it's only on the players.

    Just poor mentality with this club late in games. Decisions by players is poor and unfortunately MDA has shown he is a terrible in game coach.
