    I'm not saying the foul calls we're getting aren't legit. I'm just saying we've done a much better job making those fouls (and the near-fouls) more conspicuous. I'm fine with it. What's shocking has been the fact that the Rockets haven't been getting those same borderline calls.

    But I looooooove hearing those disgruntled Houston fans mutter away.

    Everyone but Nic, apparently, knew that Harden was going to shoot that 3. He telegraphed that 5 seconds before he shot it.

    We got this. Only down 1 at half. We need to have one of those December 3rd quarters.

    Wessy owned Harden as badly as Parsons owned Nic.

    Rockets fans are a new level of retarded.

    Refs calling a decent game, I suppose. One team (the Blazers) are more aggressive. One team (the Rockettes) is waiting for some gifts.

    The fans think the officials are pro-Portland. They've been more pro-Houston, if anything.

    But again, nobody ever accused Houston fans of being intelligent.

    God fuck Batum. I saw that three from a mile away. Batum always gives his assignment way too much space.

    You can't really block a fadeaway. If you get too close he will just Wade/Durant you and jump into your chest/side.

    Batum always dares guys to shoot threes. Harden and Parsons have been exploiting his passive defense.

    We aren't fouling down low. Playing straight up but they are getting some easy buckets because of it down low.

    No kidding. So frustrating... at least let him go to the rim... If you foul, you foul... but that 3 was way too easy for him.

    They could have really easily called some fouls on LA for his swiping at the ball.

    He could have at least got up in his grill and grunted at him or something, I mean you knew he was going to try it, I like no foul there but at least put your arms up.

    Also on LA....why does he insist on that groin-level swat against Howard...Howards misses (and blocks by LA) come when he forces him to play him straight up and the arms are in the air...not down low.
