[Cod-bomb] Nene: "It's not happening again" and Rockets talking to Silver/League about calls

They are staying vertical and keeping your hands and offensive players are jumping into them. Refs just stop calling fouls

 

1. it was a offensive foul
2. Trevor's feet moving and he was late getting to the spot be glad it wasn't a foul on him

 

At the three point line, when Pau jumped into Harden shooting 3, and a foul was called on Harden! That tells all!

 

Disagree; Pau's hands are coming down on every play under the basket. And this has nothing to do with over-the-back fouls on rebounds - they should be getting 3-4 of those per game.

 

There have been so many plays like that. Not that the fouls are always incorrect - but that they're suddenly getting called 110% differently than they are in other games. It's no wonder people are so mad at the refs in this series, even though it's the Rockets shooting themselves in the foot a lot.

 

I simply pointed out that play becase I wached over 100 games this season an offensive foul was never called on the three point shooter in that type of situation! Never!

 

Agreed. Just because they do the hands up thing around harden's picks doesn't then make it ok to tomahawk him at the rim. Watch the replay of harden answering kawhi's dunk. If that's not a textbook and-1 nothing is, was or ever will be...

 

Ne needs to take over inside .

I don't think he can stop Aldridge , LA shoots unblockable fade aways , nothing nene can do .

Gasol on the other hand , nene should be able to nullify .

Frankly , nene should be able to control the glass over either of them ... But even as strong as he is , if both players are crashing the rim without a body on them... There is only so much nene can do .

Our PF , or guy that plays the PF needs to do a much better job of boxing out .

It's a tough task for James , and frankly Ariza too becuase both gasol and nene are bigger , plus Ariza has to expend energy on kawhi the whole game.

Ne HAS to step up on the offensive end and finish super strong . I felt he didn't play much last game not becuase he was playing poorly but because Clint was really playing well.

 

Coaches whining to the refs does make a difference. We also know that teams talk to the league complaining about some aspects of officiating after playoff games.

I don't think there is an overt conspiracy to determine victory or loss for certain teams. If that happened, somebody would bound to leak that or somebody in the know would blow the whistle (irony intended). But we know that the league does instruct the refs in paying attention to certain things, after they hear complaints from whatever sources, especially if it is something that has gone viral in the media. We also can assume that referees' minds are influenced by a lot of things and it is almost impossible to be totally objective.

 

Tim Donaghey?

 

They obviously did not watch the game. . . only the box scores

Rocket River

 

Since 9 times out of 10 . . the 'good teams' are benefitting from bad calls. . . why would they whine?
Spurs winning by reputation now

Rocket River

 

Yeah sorry, I was agreeing with you.

 

it doesn't matter if your feet are moving if the contact is from a shoulder drop like kawhi's, it's always an offensive foul (one called on harden as well, but i'm sure you'd argue that was a foul on harden too)

 

LOL Clint fouled the shyt out of Pau and no call. The refs are helping us tonight!

 

Nene pulled left groin. Out for the rest of the game.

 

Is this some inside joke thread or real?

 

Dropping truth bombs for the whiners.

DD

 

I'm under the impression that for something to be a "bomb" it needs to be especially poignant or insightful in some way.

 

Looks like were gonna have to call again
