In her daily monologue, Rachel Nichols recaps Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets Game 1, which was filled with refereeing controversy throughout, involving James Harden, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and more.
Sorry but they need to clarify the “landing area” because Kahwi’s injury happened when he landed in the same spot he jumped in..But Harden is always jumping a few feet in front of himself and flinging his feet forward..so if Klay jumps up straight a few feet in front of Harden and then Harden jumps a few feet forward into Klay – you’re telling me that should be a foul on Klay? Pretty stupid. If you’re gonna call that, then you’re basically saying you can no longer defend or contest jumpers anymore as a defender. Players will just develop long jump jumpshots to make it impossible.
Rachel Nichols tends to over act with her over the top hand gestures and her weird facial expressions, unlike the other female sports correspondent that more reserved
Rockets might want to book their vacation earlier … reason: karma for abusing landing zones, pushing defenders and Rockets GM collecting data on refs’ and instructing players to exploit these data

Half of the calls Harden gets shouldn’t be given to him. The refs have fucked up the league by incentivizing Harden to game the system.

Rockets breaking the rules.
1. Extending hand foul
2. Double stepback travel
3. Extending landing space..

A completely stacked team that gets the calls and no calls. Unbeatable and an unwatchable postseason…again.

There’s mental illness in this world to deny that this game was fixed………
They showing you in plain view the obvious no calls……………….

The fact they’re trying to make it seem like that last shot was that egregious of a flop is crazy. He didn’t jump forward much at all.
