Looks like the refs are calling the undercut fouls early

That palming call on Thompson was weak. I don't watch Rockets usually but am hoping to see GSW eliminate them as painful as that is. The thing I've noticed about Harden, besides him just being a bitch in general, is that constant elbow push he does. He has so much natural talent but chooses to be an absolute shit lord.

Harden and Paul are both a great case study in many of the issues with NBA officiating. They both constantly do that push you're talking about + all the flopping.

This is the same reason I don't like Karl Malone. He always led with a knee extended when going to the hoop like he was dropping a Sagat Muay Thai Tiger Knee Crush on his defender

nearly all the better drivers in the NBA create space by pushing into defenders with their shoulders or elbows without extending the arm, it's a staple streetball move stars get away with and Bron is prolly the best at it in the entire NBA

that said enough of the old maid whingin about refs, game's been a darn good one. GS reverting to their pre-Durant ball flinging ways even despite Steph being mostly useless, they are really moving the rock and Klay is supernova from beyond the arc. Rox playing ugly but have hung tough so far.

No Durant, Steph has 0 points, in Houston

Neck and neck

don't forget Boogie down

Steph is absolutely not healthy.

He tweaked his ankle at the end of the Clippers series and obviously his finger.

[Andalusian girls]

i know he's unlikable and getting long in the tooth but Chris Paul at his best is basically a perfect point guard

[Krandor]

Stockton imo

[Deejay]

Choke City

[Andalusian girls]

weird how all the complaining about the refs ends when they start making some extremely questionable ones against Houston late

but, refs ain't decide this. brilliant shotmaking by Steph in the 4th, Looney and Livingston gave great bench play, Iggy and Klay bombed in all game long. gutty win by GS.

[Deejay]

can kevin durant just leave gs so the nba can be fun again

[Andalusian girls]

i mean

yeah

1 more ring first tho

[tyven]

Man, Harden even played defense this game lol

[Krandor]

lol Houston is hitting every fucking 3 in this final minute

[Krandor]

Fuck James Harden

Fuck Chris Paul
