Kung magkakalutuan sa nba ngayon eh hind yan garapal kagaya doon sa nangyari sa sacramento vs lakers. Hanggang ngayon kinakantiyawan lagi ni kenny smith or barkley si shaquille.

"That game was cooked"

Pikon na pikon jan si shaq sa bagay na yan.

Ang totoong lutuan ngayon year 2018 eh nangyari sa pacers ko. Not once but twice kami niluto.

Zach Zarba is thoroughly disrespecting the Pacers. One high school-ish, make believe call after another. Really makes me wonder...

That's a garbage call the NBA should be embarrassed to see made in Game on incidental conduct. It's just dumb and contrived...

Indiana has a better team and yet this has all the makings of a “how the hell did LeBron win that series?” Game 7.

Some of these 50-50 foul calls against the Pacers have been pathetic. Not conspiracy level stuff, but shaky, for sure.

If the NBA is still wondering why players have a poor relationship with referees, the Cavaliers-Pacers series has provided all the answers.

Thats huge tv ad revenue for them if they really wanted to script this.

In anycase on to the finals again

Watching the replay now. Turning point was really ~3 min left in the 3rd.

Durant with a 3 to tie at 61 all. Rockets tried a 3 themselves, nothing. Curry 3 from a Bell screen for the lead. Then Curry 3 over Anderson. All this time, Rockets tried to counter with a 3 and came up empty. They looked like the Celtics in the last 2 minutes of the 4th in Game 7 of the ECF - desperate, unnecessarily desperate.

The last questionable non-call was Bell's moving screen for Curry's 3 (before Durant's game-tying 3). But everything after that was just the Rockets betting it all on their 3 pointers and getting the short end of the stick.

The Warriors only led by 7 after the 3rd. Up until around 9 minutes, the lead was still just 7. The Rockets could have been more aggressive in the paint to chip on the lead little by little. How can it be bad officiating when an open 3 is missed by the Rockets, they get an offensive board but turn it over, then Klay responds on the other end with a made 3. That brought the lead up to 10 and that was that until the end.

Based on what I'm watching right now, the Warriors were making their difficult threes, the Rockets were missing the easy ones. That spelled the difference down the line.

The refs were allowing a free flow of the game for this run and the Warriors were really just hitting their shots. The refs even ruled a 3 pointer of Klay as a 2 pointer after reviewing. They wouldn't have done that if it was all scripted - after all, the game was still within striking distance at that point in the 4th. The Rockets finally decided to go singles and attack consistently to chip away on the lead, but the Warriors employed hack-a-Capela to prevent any runs. Then when they get the ball back on their court, they make their shots...again.

If people still think that's scripted, then go ahead. I think that takes away from the appreciation of the game, but to each his own. I'm just enjoying what I'm watching and enjoying what I'm eating. [emoji39]

No one's saying team execution is scripted, jut sir. Of course, the Rockets played to beat the Dubs. It's the officiating which can be a tool for manipulation.
GSW, currently constructed, is unbeatable. The Association did not need an insurance in Scott Foster.[emoji4]

Yep. Watching the replay now. The last questionable (non) call for me was Bell's moving screen that led to a Curry 3. But that was early in the 3rd.

There was even a foul call on the Warriors in the 4th for a Harden and-1 but he missed the FT. There was barely any contact and they called it anyway. In the play before, Curry was more banged up but there was no call - just so happened that Curry's soft touch on the glass still came through.

The Rockets had so many chances to make a momentum-turning three and missed them all. Their 3rd quarter drought was simply worse than the 1st quarter drought of the Warriors that led to a 17-pt Rockets lead in the previous game.

Nakakaawa panoorin si Capela na umiiyak. He had an outstanding game tonight with all the points in the paint. Kaso yung mga kakampi niya bato lang ng bato ng bola kahit di pumapasok. Damay tuloy siya.

I feel that this is the last chance for CP3 to win a championship, he was a game time decision? Does it mean he's healthy enough to play?

I felt that he should have played the biggest game of his life.

True...Rockets failed. Foster wasn't really necessary today.[emoji4]
