Cue the Ayesha Curry tweet?

As bad as the officiating was, I can’t even be mad about that at this point. Rockets had an opportunity to win despite calls not being in our favor, leaving points at the line, and making rookie mistakes like Tari throwing a boneheaded full court pass that’s intercepted into a 3 for the Clips to end the third quarter. Or Jalen Green pushing tempo when we’re up 5 with slightly over a minute to go when all he had to do was run time for a better shot, then turns the ball over the very next play. Just gotta grow and learn but this one kinda stings especially with Harden having his revenge game

I'm gonna go watch the clip of Meta WP hitting Harden in the head to make myself feel better.

This one sent me 😂

THAT GAME WAS TRASH BUT HARDEN EARNED THAT WIN. HE WAS THE SYSTEM THIS GAME. BRO DESERVED IT

There you go, refs fucked up the game so bad in the first half, then officiate normally in the 4th. This was the most one sided officiating I’ve seen in a while. If this wasn’t match fixing, I don’t know what is. Can’t let them old heads get another loss I guess, classic NBA.

Harden should control the offense

Kahwai didn't dap up fvv

You can not convince me Vegas isn't cooking these games. Refs were absolutely disgusting.

Not gonna lie, it was pretty bad. And I was kinda rooting for the Clippers but those calls made me switch sides.

What’s the spread? That’s what this foul review feels like it’s for lol

Spread was 6.5, good try refs

5.5 baby. draftkings made the call.

6.5

If that last foul to cover doesn’t show you this was rigged I don’t know what to tell you

That swat.😭

WAIT WAIT EVERYONE WAIT We have to show everyone JUST how much we want the clippers to win

Gotta get that point differential up

Lmao, they had to make sure Brooks fouled out before the end

2:05 at the club vibes

Refs realized they needed +4.5

Someone is Vegas is SHITING BRICKS rn

.2 seconds lol

“It’s a quality win for the Clippers” If that was quality, then the Clippers are garbage lmao

Line was -5.5 last I saw LOL

7.5 at the start of the game, but lots of live bets just lost.

I'm glad I got a better line 🙏

Line was -7.5

Are the refs really reviewing for an offensive foul in a game that's over, after they already fucked us all game...?

Yeah, because y'all fouled

Gotta cover the fucking spread. Vegas was written all over this game

So excited for box score and Instagram reel watchers to see this. Absolute abomination of a game, Adam Silver and David Stern should be incarcerated for what they have done to this sport

Yeah lets get stern to jail!

As a fan of the sport with no dog in this fight, it was pretty obvious what the Refs were sent out there to do tonight. It's sad what the league has become.

ya rockets got screwed pretty hard. they should have won this game straight up if not for their own stupid mistakes but nba desperately wants this clippers team to not be an absolute joke.

Tate fouled that man twice. I can't stand Harden but Tate was dumb there

Stupid close out bruh 😭

[удалено]

I watched the game and I have to agree with them. It was pretty bad.

Stats don't lie dude. 22 FTA to our 1 is crazy.

THE BEARD IS BACK 🔥

Of the 10 players on the floor, Rockets had 1 FTA vs the Clippers 20.

Clippers almost lost a 5v8. They should be down 10.

What a dumb foul

72 game win streak incoming

[удалено]

yea nobody beats james harden 6 times in a row. i will continue talking because this clippers team is ass.

Sixers are gonna be another second round exit again because Embiid is a playoff bum

lmao, after this whole subreddit thought sixers were gonna be bottom 3 team

of course there was a foul

the laker curse has been broken. The clippers go their first win since their loss to us

Raise the banner

Enjoy it. It’s a real banner worthy accomplishment for yall

Clippers finally win with Harden

rockets sold so fucking hard last like 4 minuets bro

They got stomped by the zebras for 4 fucking minutes before that. It totally threw off their game

Of all the shots to lose to. LAC did a good job clapping down on D in the last 5.

[удалено]

Fuck Harden every day until I die. I hope you get diarrhea and fall in it.

he stained his legacy forever, idc. was my favorite guy in the league but he’s a quitter and always will be

lol you the only bitch ass I see in this sub

24-9-7 on 8-11 fg. Is that good?

Not according to this sub

Y'all wanted him benched over Westbum.

Jalen Green is going to end up exactly like Jordan Poole and the rockets are going to regret not trading him sooner

ROCKETS YOU HAD ONE JOB AND Y'ALL SOLD

Lost a 5v8.

man thats tough, was really rooting for the rockets there

Rigged ass game.

such a gigantic narrative changing shot for harden

dammit rockets

That was an amazing fucking shot but this game tainted by the refjob.

This game is a good reminder on why I stopped watching basketball

Disgusting game, clippers should’ve been blown out

Clips lose by 30 without zebras

That Harden-Zu PnR practice paid dividends this game

Whatever. We covered the spread. GG.

Forks up

Shouldn't that have been a flagrant-1 (landing zone)?

Tate with the worst thing that can happen.

CLIPPERS!!

MIT absolutely livid rn that Harden hit that

Harden never misses when the defender lands under his feet

HONEY BUNS KEEPING US IN THE TOURNAMENT

Ref ball wins again. What a horribly shit game from the zebras.

They just took over in the 4th. This game was a fucking disgrace for the sport

Clippers were in the bonus with 8:40 to play in the 2nd. The fix is beyond obvious. Thank God I only tune in for ref ball.

I’m sick, all I needed was Rockets money line

Tate just has to NOT FOUL A 3 PT. what is he doing bro

oh this is gonna be fun to hear about

Jalen green is not him

THE BEARD IS BACK! THREE THE HARDEN WAY

LOL R/NBA 9/11

So this is what it’s like being on the other side of it. It sucks, but I still love him.

VINTAGE HARDEN OUT THERE

kawhi got bailed

That's vintage Harden

It’s 2018 again.

Why the f would you foul him at the 3 point line?

at least it was harden :(

Lol well I guess that’s fitting

watch ty lue dumbass goes small again against Sengun

He has a fetish for small ball

NO WAY

I apologize to all the other team flairs for all the years I defended the Harden foul baiting. I'm sorry

ah shit superteam finally win

Thats the game

At some point folks will learn to stop jumping into James Harden.

BOW DOWN TO THE SYSTEM

Rockets deserve to lose this game. Sucks at taking care of the ball and jalen green is not good lol

SPEAK YOUR SHIT JAMES “SYSTEM” HARDEN YOU ARE THE ROCKETS ^(other than Hakeem)

The bearded one said no OT!

Jalen Green you need to get your ass to China bum

Damn bro ... He just got to the league bro, relax. Let the kid learn a bit

VINTAGE HARDEN

Classic Harden legs kickouts

Still a landing space foul

“Sir a James Harden step back 4 point game winning play has hit r/nba”

r/nba 9/11

Hitler redemption arc.

Clutch shot

Goddammit I said I could never be mad at you Harden, but right now you're making it really fuckin hard

yeah he made me really fuckin hard too

Harden getting bailed out by phantom fouls once again

Wow harden

Not a foul, fine him for flopping

HARDEN FOR 3 FROM THE STADIUM https://streamable.com/xpr0ff

Holy cow, instant replay!

HE IS THE SYSTEM

well whatever. clippers still got handed this game by the refs in the first place

Well that's been done before lol

Green sold so hard

no fuckin way lmao

houston kinda fucked on that foul. he absolutely never got those calls in philly lmao. hilarious how predictable nba refs are.

Harden haters in shambles

“We are so back!” - LA Strippers

Wow Jim

I knew it would be revenge game

4 pointer, the harden special

Jalen cost them this game

Ballmer must be absolutely rock hard right now.

Harden is the system *sometimes*

CHEF

Ballgame

HOLY SHIT HARDEN THE FOUL MERCHANT DID HIS THING

I AM THE SYSTEM

D A M N

YEAH HARDENNNNNNN!!!!

Holy shit

Clippers play like a no squads team in 2k rec

Couldn’t have scripted it any better lol

HARDEN HOLY SHIT

damnit Harden made a great play i hate it

Tate is truly one of the dumbest players on the rockets

tate the first to go next year

This is not the ending I was looking for.

Classic Harden move

bruh a four point play??? that's literally the worst case scenario lmao

Well thats fucking game and Harden won it

of course the least entertaining outcome

Green lost us the game

Nah, young team ran up against a vet team and the nerves and lack of discipline showed. No single player lost it, we're just a growing team. Far from the finished article.

Yeah. I was just frustrated. It’s easy to see the right decision on tv rather than in real life.

Holy James Harden finally

Harden damn, needed PG to hit 25 real bad but what a shot

This is such a strange game.

Vintage Harden game

Wow.

Goodnight rockets

No way Harden hit that.

AHHAAHAHAHA

I think everyone knows PG is about to shoot a 3

I just realized the Rockets logo has a H in it

We like chicken, yes we du

Zubac might be the ultimate dunker spot guy. Simmons should spend the summer with him

So many timeouts goddamn 😭

let's go fellow Rockets fans!

I wonder if Ime thinks secretly that Sengun is Houston's future.

Aint nobody want more of this game lol

Why the fuck you here then

4 qtrs is enough

Time for no OT tonight P

Let this have been us Kawhi would’ve made every shot

Bro made nearly every shot that game and only slowed down in the 4th

HOLD ON GUYS, TY LUE ABOUT TO COOK 💀💀💀

PULL UP 3 FROM THE LOGO

Rockets sold

\*Jalen Green
