It went both ways, but the officiating made this game hard to watch.

So did the obnoxious celebrations by the warriors after every play... but that might just be me.

I didn't think the celebrations were that bad.

Then again, I absolutely despise the Rockets, so I'm a bit biased. Also, I guess Monte was overreacting with Steph not playing.

 

[CodeBreaker]

Rockets just plain suck

 

[gordontrue]

Confetti??? Is that normal? I don't recall that being a thing in a game 2... but maybe I just don't pay attention to the ends of games??

Yeah, it was probably mostly me and my slowly building distaste/fear of the warriors.

Curry doing that dance pointing Howard to the bench when he fouled out came off bad to me, but mostly they were just hyped up about good plays which is understandable.

That was bad to you? Really?

You know you are good when:

You can afford to rest your best player during a playoff series.

Seriously, any other team besides the Warriors and Spurs would have encouraged Curry to play. I agree he should rest until 100%. The Warriors win this series in 5 without him.

James Harden is, in my opinion, the worst "superstar" player in the league!

Westbrook had been called a ball hog before and in times past he was. His game has certainly matured over the past three or four years. And Melo is called a black hole with the basketball.

But Good God!

Harden is the world's worst at dribbling by himself for 18 seconds and then shooting a fadeaway 3.

This dude does not get it and will never win a championship.

I fell asleep but in the playoffs I'm fine with obnoxious celebrations. If you're not going to celebrate in the playoffs then when are you going to celebrate?

So you can't celebrate in the playoffs?

 

[Hambombs]

3 games and they went one and two.

No. 2-1

They can do whatever they want. There's just something about the warriors on-court conduct that seem extra obnoxious... but that's probably mostly, if not all, on me. The result of my own fatigue for their success.

I don't get what is so obnoxious lol

Nope. You can only celebrate in the locker room where there are no cameras. On court celebrations are now banned

More obnoxious then James running down the court in the middle of a possession making the '3' symbol before Kyrie even launched that brick?

 

[gordontrue]

How many times do I have to say that my view of the Warriors coming off as obnoxious is because of my fandom? I willingly attributed it all to that from the beginning.

Of course a Warriors fan isn't going to find their gleeful celebrations obnoxious. And of course I'm not going to find the Cavs celebrations obnoxious.

 

[Mecca]

Any GM willing to give Howard a max contract should be drawn and quartered.

Yea, I get that. But the difference is that the Cavs celebrations actually are obnoxious.

 

[Montalban]

One game?

Really?

Good thing it's a best of 7 series, huh?

Yep. Just ask the Clippers.

 

[Montalban]

No. 2-1

I believe you are correct on that one.
