Rockets owner Leslie Alexander fined $100,000 day after yelling at ref http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...-houston-rockets-fined-100000-confronting-ref I saw the video and was like what is he standing up walking over to the ref and crying about. Your players can't get all the calls.
the refs finally called harden for an arm hook in last night's game. dantoni and harden complained for like, five full trips up and down the floor. it was a blatant offensive foul; maybe they know, deep down, that it's all they've really got.
Stagnant offense without him. Surprising considering the mid season meltdown of the franchise centered around him.
To come all the way back and end up with an epic choke? Missed FT's, Giannis dumb dunk at the end, stupid TO's. Good the see JET still flying. Let's go Grizz.
LMA needs to wake up and help Kawhi, he's their second best player and needs to show up. Parker will have his moments and Manu is essentially a corpse out there.
Pop will have to reduce the minutes of the players who can't defend the PNR as much as possible . I wouldn't be surprised if Houston advanced but I don't hope so . SAS has a major advantage : execution down the stretch , Rockets aren't good at it
SA's a better team, but they need to play better than they did against memphis. in key stretches, will pop risk putting leonard on harden. two years ago, he would, but now, if leonard gets some cheap fouls, SA is screwed. one thing's for sure: houston's defensive strategy against okc would yield huge scoring nights from SA. just highlights how poorly constructed okc's roster is, really. anyway, i probably won't watch anyway, as i don't watch harden anymore. and i'm glad: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/james-harden-gets-fouled-on-3s-more-than-any-nba-team/ just thought this was TOTALLY RELEVANT.
Green + Kawhi will guard the beard. Actually, if I am Pop, I might just force the refs hand and dare them to call same crazy a** fouls on Kawhi, who is a superstar in his own right.
I can't stand watching the beard. Yes, he's a really good offensive player but his complete lack of care for defense and his million trips to the line from those manufactured fouls behind the three point line and not being able to touch him when he drives make me sick. It infuriates me to see it. So I don't know how much I can watch the SA v Houston match. If this guy was officiated the way that Kobe was he'd average half the points he does. I've never seen anyone get away with and rewarded for what Harden does. It's like he gets D. Wade's game 5 of the 2006 Finals v. Dallas refereeing every single game of his career since he joined Houston. It's simply disgusting.
