    Rockets in these playoffs

    4th in drives per game at 57.3

    2nd in shot attempts <5 ft from the rim at 30.2

    dead last in free throw attempts at 16 per game

    I’m supposed to believe that OKC is the greatest team of all-time at not fouling? Please...

    Are we gonna act like the strategy of teams like GS and Utah that we faced in previous years wasn’t to not foul and keep their hands up? Somehow the Rockets could get to the line against them, but against OKC, the team that was 2nd in the league at getting to the line during the regular season can’t get there at all.

    the “Russ missed 4 games excuse” as the reason doesn’t fly either because we had CP3 the last 2 years, and he wasn’t exactly a free throw attempt phenom, yet the team never had a stretch averaging 16 fcking free throws a game

    if you’re getting a disparity like this against OKC, just imagine the fckery that will be afoot against LA

    I’ve never seen a team get called for so many soft ass fouls like we have, but OKC is somehow incapable of committing a foul...they tell me the playoffs is where they let contact go tho...only for Harden and the Rockets, since time and time again we see other stars increase their free throw rate in the postseason and other teams have parades to the line

    rant over

    don't worry, Scott Foster will finish it.

    Morey will send his yearly ref complaint reports and when Silver receives them, they will put it through a shredder like usual before reading it.
