    That's only very indirectly what my post was about, so no, you didn't answer the question.

    He'd get a fair shake. But I never "leave baggage" in the game.

    (Leave a game saying I should/shouldn't have T'd him)

    Adam Silver and Stu Jackson thinks it's fun watching one team dominant.

    I think, The Blazers, Bucks, Boston, and maybe Toronto all match up better with GS than Houston. Houston finished the season hot but they are not as good this year as last year and I dont think its that close.

    GS will probably win it again this year because theyve got so much talent but I think its a mistake to gauge how good they are by this series.

    ESPN shat all over Harden and it was oh so sweet.

    This was the silliness you asked that was hard for me to quantify.

    I answered your question by telling you It's referee 101 to referee an airborne shooter. The above post is just arguing against my answer while not having ZERO information. You just use speculation.

    Here's another thing referees do. We explain our call and why we called it. The coach either has to accept the answer or continue to whine.

    Accept the answer.

    And finally...

    You've never refereed a game and you want to insult my basketball intelligence. You have no clue of the level I'm accustomed to refereeing.

    100% agree. I wouldn't be surprised if GS sweeps. We'll see.

    Does GS or Hou have the more annoying roster? I used to think Hou easily but it may be a tie. Steph is starting to annoy me a lot.

    They have no bench at all..... it's crazy how far a great starting lineup can get you.

    With that said, I'm happy they're beating Houston. I hate the Rockets. I hate how they play the game. I hate their fans. Fuck em.

    Your defensiveness is the real answer here. You can't answer the question, therefore you call it silly speculation and take offense.

    You say the stupid things a casual fan trying to analyze a simple game would say.

    The whole crowd, fanbase and their entire roster reminds me of the little kids doing aggressive hip hop dances at their half time shows. I don’t know why, that just sums up the whole GSW experience for me.

    How does CJ get a flagrant foul for hitting Jokic on the nose going for the ball but Green doesn't even get a common foul for Harden's corneal abrasions?

    I made a choice not watch that series because I think Id go insane, but my guess is it has something to do with when you play Golden State they tend to get favorable whistles, especially at home.
