No one should be surprised that this entire series the focus of the attention will be on officiating. What happens when two of the (arguably) best teams in the association have a bunch of whiny b***hes on the team.

Celtics turned up the intensity and Bucks weren't ready to go from the Pistons straight into Boston and it showed. They're in trouble if they don't have an answer to how Boston wants to play Giannis!

did golden State deserve that win?

They earned the wiin

the refs did

Harden took 14 FT attempts. They also didnt call fouls on attempts by Warriors players.

Hardens takeoff to landing radius is like 6 feet.

The timberwolves suck caribou balls

And?

I believe the rule is 1 ft radius in all directions so 6 ft doesnt get a foul. There were 4 times it should have been called, one of which lead to two techs on Rockets.

show me the rule

This is a clear foul. A ref missing this kind of call shouldn't be a ref.

Shouldve been a call probably. But Rockets had 5 blatant ones against them. I understand thats its playoff bball and you wont get all the calls, but those were inexcusable.

Youre trippin man... If Harden's feet landed on or behind the red line he would be no where near Klay.

There were multiple fouls that the Warriors benefited from, and multiple fouls that the Rockets benefited from (the last Harden shot was NOT one of them).

Why cant we just leave it at that? But no, Rockets and LeBron fans need to go out of their way to point out the fouls that dont go their way.

Dont love Cowherd, but this is on point:

"The referees have a right to set a tone in a game or a series… They're not going to let James Harden falling down, flopping, kicking out act control the league."@ColinCowherd on Houston blaming refs after Game 1 pic.twitter.com/CSowXCX5DB

Rockets made 24/29 free throws, outscored GS 42-21 from 3 (31% shooting for GS)......and still lost. Ouch. I'd be worried if I were a Rockets fan.

I picked Boston to win the east all year, too much talent on that team.

So the Rockets are saying they "have research that SHOWS Warriors get favorable officiating, claim it cost them 93 points in last years WCF"

eff the Rockets

I hope their saltiness is due in part to the same reason LBJ was so salty last year after his massive Finals game 1. It was their best chance to win a game but still lost.

Curry and Thompson had ankle injuries, had little rest after the Clippers series, has been screwing away home games at Oracle, had 20 something turnovers, didnt shoot well. and still won

now if we could just trade for Lonzo Ball next year, this dynasty goes on
