To say that arbitration was a topic of discussion in the first game of the Western Conference semifinal series between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets on Sunday would be an epic euphemism. Both teams were summoned for a total of 45 personal fouls and four technical fouls. Chris Paul was ejected with 4.4 seconds to play. This has continued a trend that post-season of things getting difficult between players, coaches and officials.
The players on the ground were not the only ones to complain. Many actors have expressed themselves on Twitter with specific and general observations. Brooklyn Jets forward Jared Dudley said Chris Paul should have made a call for a shot at the end of the third quarter.
I do not like the flop, but it's a foul .. look where Livingston jumps and lands, then look at his hand that challenged the shot .. The other view of the camera shows all this https://t.co/EvI3LQTpvO

His hand hits his wrist as he passes by and he can not land .. Livingston's foot is exactly where he's supposed to land .. Yes, the Cp flop is ridiculous, but in my opinion it's still a foul

The league must decide to call them all or not at all. If they stop calling them, the players will adapt! The problem is that they called them all season https://t.co/R60IW82zLn

Rudy Gobert, of Utah's jazz center, joined Dudley, pointing out that his team had not had the same leeway in the first round against the same Rockets shooters .
My guys were not allowed to challenge pictures like this one last week … or maybe I'm crazy and they're just camera angles https://t.co/ RvqYdCWzuC

Unsurprisingly, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban stepped in, along with Rockets GM Daryl Morey. As Gobert mentioned, both could be subject to a fine. That's what happened in the first round, the Nets co-owner, Joe Tsai, after supporting general manager Sean Marks, suspended for entering the officials' locker room after a game.
This is on the @nba Competition Committee to get rid of the fault from one side to the other. The defender is perfectly entitled to the space. Offensive players are smart enough to take advantage of it. This is not about the referees. That's the stupidity of the league

The 2 minute report will be very interesting tomorrow. I will tell you a lot about the management of the referee group nba

As for how the Rockets and Warriors should handle the refereeing in the second game and the rest of the series, retired center Kendrick Perkins had an idea of what they should focus on.
Everyone was so busy worrying about calling faults, forgot to try to win the match !!!
