It's clear as day that the league is rigged, we saw it as Rockets fan at least from last year playoffs vs the Warriors, and of course this game 1 of the WCSF. Which game is worst in your opinion?
I was at a destination wedding and fortunately/unfortunately missed games 6 and 7 last year. I thought the question was going to be which was worse this game or 2002 Lakers vs. Kings. In my 40 years of watching basketball the Kings game was #1 and this is #2.
Bias officiating is expected when it favors the home team. What the refs did to the Rockets at home during a Game 7 was criminal.
its even. last year was more meaningful because we would've won the championship. this game the refs took about 15 points from us on those 4 fouls plus the 3 techs that were a result of the blown calls. last year I believe we counted about 9 points shaved by the refs. so in that case this game was worse.
The only thing I going to comment on is, I hope someday the Warrior Fans experience losing a game by referees with an issue about a player or team. I'm tired of it...last year and now this year. Enough is enough, NBA and NBA Officials. The fans deserve better...AND so do the players and teams. Referees are suppose to be IMPARTIAL. NBA officials are not...or very lousy at it.
Game 6/7 were more subtle but more impactful, this was way more obvious but Game 1. The NBA and reffing crew decided to not call fouls which have been called in other series and throughout the year, including previous 7 years.
HOU should have finished the series in Game 6 last year. harden's postgame interview made that clear.
