It's in the stats and if you're betting... Rockets +6 seems really good. Regardless, the Rockets must show up to play and approach it like Game 7 because based on how we've played and the crew tonight could spell 3-2 lead.
The short answer is, I don't know. What I do know is that Harden and Paul both are quite capable of selling fouls is whistles are being blown. The key for the Rockets is to assess the style of play allowed by the crew and to adapt. The Rockets have shown that they can win a big game with either style. All I am saying is that while Kerr may want KD and Curry and Klay to be officiated differently.......... that likely means that Harden will also be officiated differently, and that could come back to haunt the Warriors if Harden is dropping 45-50 points with efficiency.... especially if the Warriors get in foul trouble, their bench is weak.
Don't bump into Ken Mauer. His undead arm might fall off, and you'd probably get T-ed up. (Of course, it would be hard for him to call it with one arm, but better to be safe than sorry.)
I can't stand Mauer... that's the ref I hate the most. He took the throne after Joey Crawford retired... f*** Crawford lol
After watching the Worriers and Rockets series these past 2 years, the only Game that will be called fairly is Game 2. The trend has been to slightly favor the Worriers or just blantly do it to bring them back in game where Rockets players get a mental block (ref: Game 6 and 7 last year and Game 2 this year). Every game besides G2, favors the Worriers on missed calls or called ones. I go into these games expecting these calls or non calls favoring Worriers and still blown away by how obvious they make it seem and it’s going to get worse until someone in the media calls it out like Game 1.
You did. Apologies. I dont think you are the strongest of suitors to call anyone a dumbass, but I will regress.
Yeah I was the same as you at one point with Crawford/Mauer until we stopped winning with Foster and Tony Brothers came out of nowhere these past few seasons. I’m at a point in this series that all refs and the NBA in general replaced Crawford and Dick Bevetta (however you want to spell that name).
Mauer is one of Silver's goons, but Rockets can get wins on Mauer.. To be fair, I also thought Zarba would give favorable calls to Harden because he did in the past and he had the worst reffing job in the history of sports game 1.
Ken Mauer missed a call in the final seconds when Harden went to the basket against Memphis Marc Gasol. Ken I think admitted to James I missed that call, James and Mauer are in good terms. Chris Paul and Ken Mauer is 50-50 Ken Mauer vs Draymond, Kerr, Curry, Durant is a complete chaos.
I think MDA had more justification in doing that Game 1 than Kerr. I was somewhat disspointed in MDA in post game and also during the game for not going berserk, espically knowing that we lost. Hope Mauer remmmebers or someone shows that vid before game (non Rocket player of course).
Ken Mauer is better than Scott Foster, Tony Brothers. Scott listens to James and Scott responds in a neutral way. The Rockets whole team need to stay focus, be tough, don't be argumentative, Chris Paul, P.J, Eric need to keep their emotions in check.
This has to be an altered/edited video right? Cuz i thought Kerr said he and his team dont worry about the refs and just play? God I hope the Rockets can put an end to the fakest "dynasty" ever created.
Mauer always calls the Rockets game fairly... CP3 needs to not be an as*hole tonight and everything will go well... but the Rockets wont put it in there hands.
