Not mad. I just thought it was a little crazy and hypocritical that after all this talk about how Rockets fans don't allow any talk about basketball the only thing that gets taken out of my post is that it is 100% not a foul even when I personally admitted its close and probably a 50/50 call. I mean if i said it was definitely a foul I get the response. Whatever.

About half my family is a Spurs fan so i do appreciate the game and consistency they have. The response i got just threw me off a bit I guess.

Have fun, I won't be back to bother yall


It was a tame response, and we are still a bunch of fans, so I don't see why your feathers got ruffled. There are a few replays showing a very clear angle that it was a block. It also shows Harden's off arm pushing off of Duncan.

Has nobody seen Harden's arm go straight into Tim's neck on that last play?

If anything, they both fouled each other, but since that's a stupid call, no call was the right way to go.

It's basketball. They are grown ass men sharing a small piece of floor. Contact is expected.


It was a good no call at the end of the game, helps that Duncan got ball first too. In those situations, unless it was a clear hack, I'm okay with refs erring on the side of no foul even if it hurts the Spurs. Plays like that need to be decided during live play.

With regards to referees calls/no-calls vis a vis the outcome of games... What is the phrase I'm searching for?... Ah yes

So who do we want first round? I know it's been asked before but right now looks like the Mavs.
Best case = Dallas because of how later rounds set up if we are 2.

We would need the Grizzlies/Clips winner to lose one of last games. Fat chance.

The only foul missed on that play was Harden using his elbow to Duncan's throat to push off and create separation.

The Mavs always give us a run for our money, but we win the series. Its just a pain.

Still prefer a 2 seed with the Mavs than a 3 seed with the Rockets in rd 1.

My pref playoff matchups would be:

1 GSW vs 8 NOLA
4 Blazers vs 5 Clippers
2 Spurs vs 7 Mavs
3 Grizzlies vs 6 Rockets

Is my 12 hour ban over?

Guess I'll stay off the Houston thread, what a sensitive bunch. Pretty sure the mod on here is a Houston fan, I didn't even say anything that bad.

There is absolutely no question. Which is why their thread is moderated completely different than every other team thread on the entirety of Texags. If a Texans fan wants to post on a Browns or Cowboys thread - no problem. If a Rangers fan wants to post on a Cubs or Astros thread - no problem. But even if anyone other than a small set of posters post something on the Rockets thread - even if it is completely basketball related and not inflammatory in any way - it gets deleted and you get banned.

How does he hit his wrist THEN the ball? He hits his wrist after on his follow through.

Agree. No question it is a foul to lead a drive with your elbow to the defender's throat. Harden should have been called.

NBA rules Duncan's block was clean (and that Manu was fouled by Harden the possession before).

It's obviously a league-wide conspiracy to ruin Houston's championship hopes and prevent Harden from winning the MVP.

You put something like "hahahahahaha suck it Houston" or something like that. That isn't basketball talk. Those comments are perfect for old rivalries board, not here. HTH

Meh, not half as bad as **** that gets posted on our threads and has been in the past. Go pull up the responses from Mavs and Rockets fans after 2013 Game 6. I don't remember any mods coming to our defense then and clearing out the trash.

Maybe I deserved the ban but a lot of Houston fans on that thread are a bunch of whiny babies. I saw some guy say he wants to give up his season tickets because he "doesn't pay to watch 60 FT's". Seriously? He makes it sound like this is a common occurrence, way to overreact.

The Grizz.

We would control our own destiny to stay ahead of Clips

Grizz still have to travel to G State and could take a loss which would allow us to get 2 seed.

Connelly is out with a foot injury tonight and Gasol left game tonight w injured ankle. Clips up 3 at half

I'm making the assumption that we want the two seed and don't care where anyone else ends up.

If Memphis wins tonight, they'll be a game up on SA and LAC will be a game back. If Memphis and SA end the season tied, Memphis will take it on tie breaker #3, which is conference winning percentage. Therefore, in this scenario Memphis would have to lose their final two games against @GSW and IND while SA beats both PHO and NOH.

If LAC wins tonight, both teams will be tied with SA. As long as SA wins both remaining games while both Memphis and LAC (DEN, @PHO b2b) lose one, SA would take the two seed.

Looking at those last four games, @GSW may pack it in really early while Indiana is fighting for the last spot but isn't as good as Memphis who is also fighting for seeding. Denver will be trying to lose and should have no trouble doing so, but the Hornets are fighting for the last spot and aren't at as much of a disadvantage to LAC as the Pacers have to MEM.


Based on that, I say we're going for LAC.


This type of thing isn't very compelling to me though. We'll find out in a few days.
