Golden State Warriors 2017-2018

KD must just salivate like Pavlov's dog at dinner every time CP3 ends up guarding him. :laughing (What is it, a foot difference in height?)

Capeli did start great, but he sure disappeared in the 2nd half. :dunno

Warrior backups played great.

I'm a bit surprised...no one noticed that Houston had a plan to slow the W's inbound passing after the Rockets would hit a shot? They would literally run to the baseling to the exact spot where the Ws were trying to inbound the ball at. Also, they would grab the ball after a shot and roll it away from the inbounder.

That's why Draymond made that foul at the beginning of the game. The shot was made and Harden put himself right between him and Draymond, preventing Green from jumping over the line and inbounding the ball quickly, as they do almost every time.

Do y'all think Draymond was going to say "oh, excuse me sir, I will walk around you"?? lol.

It was a technical foul but not a flagrant. They got it right. If that was a flagrant, then one of the three+ times Houston bludgeoned Iguodala and others in the head for a simple personal foul should have been flagrants as well.

This is conference finals, people. Man ball.

They let a lot go. All in all, I was satisfied with the officiating. They set the tone early, then let them play for the most part. There could have been a lot more calls both ways.

good game!

Is that carryover from the regular season or Rockets' previous series? Because none of that happened leading up to the T at 1:07 into the game. Or was that strategy leaked prior to the game?

Exactly. And flop looking for fouls. CP3 wasnt getting his calls for jumping into players like usual.

Rockets also hoist up a lot of bad contested 3s. They make some but many are just prayers it seems. That's their game though, iso and 3s and hope to outscore to defense isn't required.

Yeah, and Rockets' bench underperformed. Overall 8-28 3pt shooting won't get it done.

No one can guard Durant. Not just on the Rockets, but from any team (someone like Kawhi Leonard seems most suited). Capela would get in foul trouble and pulled too far out from rim protection. Gotta hope Ariza and Mbah a Moute can at least do better tomorrow night.

:wtf

ask yourself, "why is Harden standing between Draymond and the inbound line, instead of running back to play, you know...defense?"
 
I do think that Dray totally played him. Picking up that T early was almost a stroke of genius. Harden didn't do anything, but then the rest of the game Dray basically had free reign to jaw at refs and complain and didn't get a second T and an ejection.

WTF was that pump fake on the jump ball?
 
Want some more fun conspiracy shit?

Go to refpicks.com

Tim fucking Donaghy runs a handicapping site -- and if you peruse the interwebs, the rumor is that like 70% of the games he picks are reffed by Foster... :laughing

not sure...I think Dray was just reacting to Harden standing between him and the inbound line and refusing to step aside.

lol yeah that pump fake IMO was all "look at me I'm in charge!" by the ref.

So, since GSW won, the officiating was fine and dandy? :p

Why the trolling? And this IS trolling. You have needled this point enough.

For my part, I already stated that Foster didn't do his full antics and that there were several questionable calls that announcers noted about him. The Rockets got screwed out of a possession in fact, and the announcer noted that too. On balance, just because Draymond didn't get ejected or something might lead to the conclusion that officiating slightly favored the Warriors.

Sorry your team lost but it doesn't somehow redeem your insistence on Dub fan arrogance/non-objectivity. The various posters here predicted correctly, they backed up the general impression regarding Scott Foster, analyzed what happened at game and explained the strategy that made Draymond get that tech. For you to try and push the point that we see it as "fine and dandy" is your words, no one else's. I already said, it wasn't spectacularly bad reffin' as we might have expected because it didn't leave either side feeling like they wuz robbed at the end.

Fan arrogance, indeed! Go ahead and write a few more pages explaining why GSW is so "great", though :afm199

Draymond didn't "get" a tech - he earned it by doing something stupid.

What Harden did was smart basketball. What Draymond did was an immature response. There's no excuse for it at this level of basketball.

He earned the tech but it wasn't for nothing. The excuse is: Harden wanted to know who's tougher? Dray let him know...in so many words :laughing
