78-4 it is
Fuck the refs
Seemed like the young guys were getting frustrated. These sorts of games happen, so hopefully theyāll learn some lessons, work on mistakes made this game, and stay disciplined and focused on the next game and play.
Hopefully the ref shenanigans like tonight will be an outlier. Season is still bright yet early, so looking forward to next game. Letās take out our frustrations on that other LA team.
FUCK THE REFS..
I am not offering Jalen much money this off-season.
#FUCK THE REFS, ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE REFS
ultimately, the Clippers have 3 all-NBA caliber guys, losing at the death in LA is not a bad loss, even if it is very frustrating. Rockets fought hard and got screwed a little by the refs but whatever, we move onto the next one.
Some hard bottling by us with some really shit refereeing
Tough L but we outplayed a team with 4 hall of famers.
Couldnāt help but smile when harden hit that
Refs after the game:
fuck the refs, 78-4 it is
We are so LEGIT
I knew this game was thrown by JG when he forced that dribble when we were up 5 and 1min left tho we had like 15sec for the possession
+ REFS-REFS-REFS
+ Tariās dumb play at the end of the Q3
+ relatively worse game by Sengun. So many unnecessary TOV
This hurts so much, but the fact that I can watch Rockets basketball and care this much just goes to show how much more competitive they are this year. This loss sucks but they played well despite some mistakes. Im loving this team.
way to go refs; congrats
green and sengun need to be better down the stretch
Too many turnovers, bad refs, Jalen should slowed down at the end. Overall good game, but we can learn from this one.
I get Jalen Green missing shots, but that fast break into multiple defenders early in the clock while we are winning is unacceptable
First game Iāve seen where Jabari looked incredible defensively
First and foremost gg to the refs they battled hard.
Secondly can someone get jalen and tate some bball iq?! The way that jalen sold at the end is ridiculous and shouldn’t happen. Like we would be 8 and 2 if jabari and jalen didnt sell one game each. Inexcusable
Jalen is really trying to shoot us out of games. Back to back shit games. Iām about to give up on him. 3rd year and heās still bagless. He canāt score efficiently if his 3 ball isnāt going in
Harden can suck a nut for all i care
In a groupchat with alot of harden stans that claim they rockets fans. But were boasting that he hit that shotā¦ even tho the refs came thru
Jalen has all the talent in the world but it’s the mental mistakes that’s still hindering his game. Game should have ended differently if he doesn’t rush to try and get that lay up. We’re up, play the damn clock man.
THAT’S NOT FUCKING FUNNY, JAMES
HAPPY COACH GAVE BARI THE CLUTCH MINUTES. NEED THAT TRUST.
FUCK THE REFS.
JALEN IS 2-3 DECISIONS AWAY FROM GREATNESS.
IF I TOLD YOU BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED WE’D BE 6-4 AFTER 10 YOU’D TAKE IT IN A HEARTBEAT. AIN’T MAD AT A THING.
OH, RUSS STILL SUCKS.
NEW STREAK STARTS SUNDAY! STAY TIPPIN.
Ref bullshit aside you could definitely see where the last two years of aimless, brain dead basketball stunted the BBIQ of our young guysā¦Ime will right the ship but tonight itās fucking annoying
People looking at our players and yeah they fucked up but those refs killed us. It was like playing against fucking Golden State at home.
Please put the ball in FVVās hands when we are up 5 with a minute left.
Sengun with 6 turnovers.
We fought well but did not play well
This fan base is so ridiculous. Do you guys really expect us to win every game? We played great against a team that will certainly make a big a playoff run letās just be happy we are competing again. Instead we want to act like itās the worst thing in the world to lose to four hall of famers.
Refs cost us this game, and I usually don’t complain about them.
Tari and especially Green need to improve their BBIQ.
He will never be a star making dumb plays like that.
Deserved loss for how some of our “fans” talk about Harden and even our own current players. Some of yall in the game thread need to calm the hell down and realize this isn’t that serious, it’s a damn basketball game for entertainment.
People shitting on JG for some of the late game stuff. I get it, but the pass from FVV to him at the end was weird because he also cut in the same direction. I guess he just expected him to shoot a 3 but I feel like there wasn’t much space for that.. also I think he was definitely fouled but refs be reffin š
I’m happy to care so much about this team again and it beats the W.O.W era. Some of the posts I’ve seen its like the world is ending.
Not sure if anyone has said it but fuck the refs
Did anyone else think that the long lay off caused some rust in the 1st Q
Very winnable game for us, but it feels like we could never really get in the driver’s seat. You’re screwed if Zubac and Powell are getting any kind of shot they want – meh game from GĆ¼n and poverty from Green didn’t help. No comment on the officiating, we have to be good enough to not leave it in their hands.
Props to the all-time #3 SG š„ŗ, he was controlling the game.
Refs fucked us but we also sold hard in the last two minutes.
We were up 99-94 with 2 minutes left and let them go on a 12-1 run to end it
Canāt win em all and the refs had it out for us tonight. The team has grown so much. Bounce back on Sunday š¤
Out of all ppl to do us dirtyyyyy itās our fucking GOAT James Hardenšššš
UNTIL NEXT TIME
