    Harden has taken the torch from Wade and Ginobli for most blatant flopper.

    Doesn't change the fact that he's shooting 46% with a career worst TS% at 51% this season.

    Yeah, but on that stat you used, it's not necessarily the largest sample size. This one is.

    I still can't believe stotts called an alley oop throw in, with a tie game and 8 seconds left....

    It was fucking gross seeing the Blazers not execute on offense and not score a FG the final 7:30 of the 4th Q

    Refs were brutal both ways, but the Blazers dropped the ball tonight. Another late lead choked away.

    I was a bit dumbfounded by that as well. So we score immediately and then allow Harden to hit a circus shot to win it?

    Shitty reffing kicks the wind out of your sails. I rarely bitch about reffing but it was a joke. Our best player fouled out and 2 of those fouls were blatant bogus calls.

    LA has not been good over the last few months. He drags the team down the way he forces up those bad shots.

    More proof that the NBA is just the WWE... the refs doing a "count" instead of actually using fucking "time". With no timeouts left, Houston probably could have held it for 10 seconds and got away with it. The ref would have just started with "4 and a half... 4 and three quarters..."

    I remember as well. I was yelling at the screen 5 SECONDS. But thought I was just being a homer. Now I know, I was god damned right and we got jobbed by the NBA.

    I re-watched some of those highlights. We were tied with about 8 seconds left and they run the lob play and Lin sniffs it out easily. I want to know whose decision it was to run that play in that situation. And did Nic really throw that pass?

    I saw Dame mouth "LAST SHOT" before coming out of the timeout, but that play (even if it worked) would have left HOU with plenty of time for a game winner/tier.

    WTF

    It felt like a broken play to me, honestly. I don't think the alley oop was the first or even second option.

    I dunno, man, looking at the way they were lined up, it looked like the play call. Don't really feel like re-watching it on LPBB cuz it would get me more pissed, but whatever it was, it was a horrible decision.

    At the very least we probably should let the guy with the broken finger throw important passes. :ghoti:

    I was yelling for the 5 second count. Then I rewound the DVR and counted it out myself. I was pissed, but not moreso than a dozen other times this game. You will never find a single thread where I've complained this much about the reffing in a game. It was just such bullshit.

    And Beverly is a Bitch.

    Oh, yeah, and they dribbled after the inbound before the time out. They should have inbounded under our basket.
