YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT


Quest knowing more than NBA refs since 86'

edit: I did read the part where it said some calls should have gone houstons way. Oh well, you win some you lose some!

jeff,

please give me your opinion on the letter the Rockets sent to the NBA. 

Also, Please detail the sports knowledge requirements that are required before one can discuss sports with you on this video game forum just so everybody knows.

 

Aren't you a Mavs fan?   Speaking of bandwagoner...
 

I used to like the Celtics when I was a basketball fan... would it be coincidental that my fandom of the sport seemed to evaporate with my ability to dunk a basketball?

Couldn't name a single player on their roster, but I'm pulling for Boston.  

When you are here just to antagonize someone else and you dont care, and then wrong on top of that, and have no clue what you are talking about you then are just a troll. You're a moderator dude. You should know better.
 

calling me a mavs fan is blasphemy. Thats the same thing as calling me an eagles fan. IF the mavs had a dynasty going you sure could count on mrwonderful being a fan.

ah I see where you read your articles. If this were politics, a representation of that site would be the MSNBC if harden were a republican. Deadspin, Bleacher Report, and a few other sites are practically anti houston. Their writers dont like James Harden.

Rockets are the most analytical team in the league. NBAs 2 minute report from the game criticized just the last 2 minutes of 3 missed calls. Former players, and refs practically on the same page that the game was called unnacceptable. The warriors always have a favorable whistle, but last year games 6 and 7 and this year game 1 have been agregious to the point where that memo is entirely warranted. Warriors have allstar after allstar, they dont need help (or apparently they do)


edit: holy crap that article is ignorant. Lauren Theison should stop embarrassing herself. It looks like she is a hockey blogger. She should probably stick to that.

Step 1: Deflect the question.
Step 2: Attack the source.
Step 3:?
Step 4: Profit with so much dominant sports knowledge.

Read the letter.  Its always a conspiracy right? Rockets never get calls.  When in fact, their whole gameplan is to try to play the refs get calls.  Sure everyone does it a bit, Its just your team is being whinny about it when it doesnt go their way.

Imagine being so butt hurt about refs, that your team makes up some random point value they should be owed in an extra credit essay to the NBA lol  



Embellishment:

Im still trying to talk basketball, and you are still complaining.  Educate me oh wise one!

How did all this nonsense start?

I said "the refs aint having Harden's flops in the playoffs"

And you go off on this super salty tangent about how I dont know shit blah blah blah blah im a bandwagon waaaaaawaaaaaawaaaaa

Prove to me, that Harden isnt the Neymar of Basketball.  Dig deep in the corner of whatever echo chanber rockets forum you lurk in and defend your guy. 

I havent even cheered the warriors on once in here, or anywhere for that matter- Coming in screaming "WARRIORS IN 4!!!!!!" after the first win would have been some bandwagon shit. So the "you're a bandwagon fan!!!!" attack is wearing thin. 

You seem far more interested in trying to make me look bad, than actually coming up with any substance. 

 

those gifs are so old.  One of those he is on the damn thunder dude lmao. Another vs blake was like 5 years ago with dwight and you can see parsons coming in on the screen. way to find em buddy. He doesnt do that shit anymore, and im glad.
 

you provide no substance so you always look bad.

yeah harden really trying to draw fouls on the 3 missed fouls on klay. He wasnt trying to draw them vs . klay. HE WAS FOULED. It wasnt called. It changes teh game. In a 4 point game at the end you dont think 4-5 missed fouls on 3 didnt make an impact? im not even asking them to call every one. Call half of them, the rockets win. Jesus it was so bad the whole national media is talking about it. You make it look like Im the one here saying this shit. Cmon dude.

CP3 was also hit on the arm on 2 of his 3 point attempts. He was fed up with it too. CP3 does like to work officials, but he isnt going to get THAT mad about nothing.

I think that we can all agree that LeBron is the King of Flops.

Edit: Harden also travels with the step back, so I have no sympathy for not getting calls.

Learn basketball. He doesnt travel with the step back. Research zero/gather step.

Been covered ad nauseam by former officials breaking it down. Has he ever traveled? Yea just like every nba player, but he has mastered that rhythm.

Hey man, learn not to use ad hominen attacks. It makes you look desperate and ruins your ability to make an effective argument. I've seen the former officials breaking it down, but he takes more than a single or two steps back. The step back is not a travel, but Harden's most definitely is one. However, the NBA isn't going to call it on one of their biggest stars. It's no different than Michael Jordan and all the traveling he did.

Ad hominem attack? Pretty sure the attack was dirrcted clearly at what you said and clearly on topic. You need to do more research because ehat you have seen, you did not absorb.

Again no its not. Possession hasnt been given until your hand is under the ball.

His hand isnt under the ball until his step back foot is already planted. Thats a gather zero step. He is then allowed 2 steps. If you have watched breakdowns youd know its not a travel

very few people have hardens natural decelaration skills. Its what makes it lethal.

Everybody knows Harden flops.

You know it's bad when hockey fans that watch zero minutes of basketball know these things.

If you're going to plant a flag Quest, I wouldn't suggest it be one defending Harden's WWE-like maneuvers when he's defended.

Annnnnd the Raptors lay an egg mere hrs after I post this hahahahaha. (I blame the Drake curse)

The league just assigned Foster to the reffing crew for the Rockets/Warriors game tonight. Talk about throwing gas on a fire. Wow.

^ If that game had another 4 minutes, I think Toronto would've won.

Flopping isnt embellishing(showing) an actual foul)

everybody says it but it doesnt make it true. Called s false narrative. Easy to dismiss and go along with it. Id actually trust my opinion on what james harden does. I watch every game. I know james harden. His little youtube compilations are from years ago. He doesnt do that stuff anymore. The nba as a whole doesnt see it as much anymore

anyway. Flopping is making up contact that doesnt exist. The “everyone agrees” argument isnt going to fly because your false narrative comes from people who dislike james harden. Same crap as his defense. Harden is a solid on ball defender. Number 1 rated post defender.  Finally this year people who know a little start talking about it. That dumb video of defense from 6 years ago compilatipn tarnished his entire defensive legacy. At the same time people said lebron waa good  defrnder but was net rated worse. Everyone takes some plays off especially when you run the whole offense for 38 minutes a game. You could make the same video of any “good” defender narrative. 
 

Rockets 0-fer with foster in the playoffs.

Just great. Foster usually is ok with harden but him and chris paul is toxic.

My main gripe with foster is he thinks everyone is there to watch him ref

Ooh I should tune in tonight just so I can follow this banter better haha. I would like the Rockets to take em down - are they even considered the underdog in the series?

I think that teams need to stop relying on the 3 point shot. This is part of the problem. Should go back to the mid range shot or pass the ball to the big. Earn your foul calls and not depending on refs to bail you out. Here is another problem and that is chance of injury. The Rockets know that the Warriors are not giving Harden room to land so the potential of injury is at a high risk. Try something else. I blame Mike D'Antoni and James Harden for not changing the game plan. You will not win a championship that way.

Speaking of false narrative, it took me about two minutes to find this clip, from a 2019 game, that negates every single thing you just said:





 

Looks like The Invisible Man punched him in the throat.
