Official Whine, Moan, Complain Thread 19/20-CLOSED "WE CHAMPS!"

Gotta make FT's. Especially when you are facing a team that gets foul calls handed to them.

 

at this pt it seems like its not gona improve

 

Ft as usual but we got burned at rebounding and second chance points,which were usualy 3p.
And refs,they made mistakes on both the ends but love parade for harden was disgusting.

 

I'm not sure how Houston fans can feel good about supporting a team with Har'en and Cp2 on it with all that flopping.

Love to see them miss the playoffs.

 

did not watch (harden)

 

pathetic refs lol that was just wow

 

She's always funny

 

Did not watch.. Can't stand Houston, their Coach or the way they play the game.

 

I would love to hear NBA defend this BS.

 

^^^ Basketball Reasons.

Last 2 games vs Htown:
Harden 34 Fts
LA 45 Fts

Game 1 (in LA with our home court "advantage")
Harden 15
LA 18

Game 2
Harden 19
LA 27

 

late gm executing and half court O is a joke.....this team wont beat these "elite" type teams if they keep playing like this. SaS/Orl this season shows exactly how bad we are against teams that we shouldn't be bad against, Orl gets beaten by nearly 30pts by Dall, Spurs gm that this team actually won barely had been beaten by 30 in 3 of their last 4 gms...I wasn't surprised they lost in SA or actually I expecting that loss given how they played so close.

 

Not sure why I'd want to watch that again

 

Soften's game angers me.

He's skilled enough he doesn't need to cheat. It's ridiculous. I don't even know how he can feel good about the calls he gets.

 

Real talk: can't really fault the player. The system made it where he could eat this way. He'd be an idiot not to take advantage of it.

Fish was a master at drawing charges...but at times he would sell it. And as long as it worked, I loved how he exploited it.

Then the league "tried" to control it with the flopping fines. It's still highly inefficient, but at least they "tried".

Unlike "trying" with that rule, the league has successfully nutured defense: 5 second lane violation rule, illegal defense rule, clear path fouls, 14 second shot clock reset, no hands Harden rule (as seen last night).

You no longer can play defense and that isn't really on Harden...dude is just a product of it. The NBA chose to deter defense and to make the game more up and down a la the Allstar game. Kids see that s*** and decide defense is for lames...Cause even if you try, they're just going to blow the whistle anyways.

For example, if I'm an aggressive defender that's also a team player like Hart, I'm seriously thinking about refusing to defend the 3pt line, cause there's a high chance I'm going to help my team give up 4pts.

The silver lining is that historically refs swallow the whistle and let them play during the playoffs, which is why Harden hasnt really shined in postseason appearances. If this s*** continues into May, then it's time to lose our collective s***.

 

The fouls I dont like with harden are the ones where HE'S the one that initiates ALL the contacts but yet its a foul on the defender, I never seen anyone get away with this on a consistent basis, if we had a cp360 lvl flopper defending Harden it would be an offensive foul more often than not IMO
