Anthony, who had 10 rebounds to go with his 45 points on 17-for-30 shooting, was salty about something else in the locker room afterward -- the foul disparity, and not getting calls himself. The Rockets were 38-for-44 from the free-throw line; the Knicks were 22-for-27. "You see how guys get their calls," Anthony said. "Me, I've got to get cut. You've got to see blood for me to get a call down there." CBSSports.com - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.IXxbpneG.dpuf
Was just reading about that, thinking raptors should get the w now
If it were up to Rose, the tweaked right hamstring he suffered Monday against the Cavaliers would be an afterthought and he would be starting Friday against the Raptors. The Bulls’ decision-makers, though, sounded more inclined to play it safe and protect Rose from himself. ‘‘If I could go right now, if the game was today, I’d be playing,’’ Rose said after being held out of practice for a second consecutive day. ‘‘Like I said, I’m not worried about that. It’s taking my time, not pushing myself and not extending myself. ‘‘It’s not a concern at all. I think everything I do — if I get hurt, it can be anything — it’s going to be blown out of proportion. I’m doing fine, and it shouldn’t be anything to worry about.’’ Chicago Sun-Times - See more at: http://hoopshype.com/rumors.htm#sthash.IXxbpneG.dpuf
I watched this entire game and it seemed like the refs had money on the Rockets. On your homecourt you should get a few more calls.
Also, Harden may just be the biggest flopper in the game. On one turnover, he got knocked over and bumped a couple of times, he then went off to be checked for concussion!!!! Surprisingly, he was fine and subbed straight back on. Some real soft stuff in there.
