The refs are doing what they did to us. Establishing early what they don't want to see happen in the games. In this case, flopping. Even if it's been called different all year, this is how they convey the message that they don't want to see it this series.
Probably they will back off on that call from here on out. But if it continues, it kills Harden's game, and CP3's a bit as well. Both depend on flopping for their game styles.

Yeah it killed his game and CP3's game so much it came down to a one possession game..... |

This will go down with an asterisk in the record books, right? Best hope they don't call games like this going forward. I don't think they will, but if they do, Harden is fucked. His muscle memory is all about kicking out like that. I don't even know if he could stop doing it if he wanted to, at this point. |

Best hope is we shoot better and execute better down the stretch and it won't matter...our defense was great as it kept us in the game..no blowouts here.... |

You must be so proud of their close not winning.  |

Better hope you win Game 2 or you'll be on a worse pace against the Warriors than the guys Morey traded away.

You can obviously tell that the Warriors were coasting in this game to preserve their health after getting bumped and bruised in the 1st round. Gotta give props to the Rockets for giving the Warriors everything they had.
I’ll be nice and call it a gentleman’s sweep.

Hardens step forward at his 3 point shots is so risky. Yeah if he gets the call it's great but the way he jumps forward on purpose could seriously hurt him like Kawhi got hurt.
Also just a side note am I the only one who can't stand Mark Jackson broadcasting? How is he even allowed to call the Warriors game? Dude is so salty about the fact that they fired him. Can't stand him. ESPN should do a better job. There are plenty of good broadcasters. How about Doris maybe?

The Warriors have an easier opponent right now so they can probably get away with resting guys if they need to. |

You really are not the sharpest tack in the shed are you? How can we really be on a worse pace against the Warriors than the guys we traded away? The guy we got already has a WCF finals appearance under his belt? How are you keeping score? Ok if we are going by how you keep score..are we on a better pace as of right now since we didn't get blown out? |

Over/under for the Rockets is 2 wins. Can they play the Warriors tougher than we did?

Rockets +5.5 for tomorrow's game. Both teams played pretty ragged yesterday. Warriors should play a lot better on the offensive end. Rockets can play better too. I don't really like Harden shooting 28 times a game when he isn't even open. All this ISO stuff isn't very fun to watch. Plus, the refs calling or not calling fouls is becoming the main focus of the game. And it really should not be. To win the series or not should be the question. Not whether they can win two games. That isn't going to make anybody happy except some degenerate gamblers.

Portland vs. Denver:
I think the will be the best series. The games will be great.
Earlier I said Denver had 1 star. I have to include Murray now as a 2nd star. He is still inconsistent.
Portland seems more complete, so I'll go with them. Denver's backcourt can be "miss" too much.
Even if I pick a short series, I wouldn't be surprised if it went longer, or most of the games were close.
Portland in 5.
