Don't Blame the Refs, the Rockets blew it.

Barkley pushed off, it was obvious.

Why do it with a 1 point lead and about 3 seconds left. Only one word to describe it, STUPID !!!

The Rockets will start winning, when they start playing smart at the END of games, in addition to hitting a higher percentage of Free Throws.

The turnovers I can live with, if we are a running team.

That was a BS call with the game on the line.
Im not blaming the loss on it but it should have been a no call.

It was a BS call, but Barkley still should have played smarter than that. He definetly fouled the guy, and he gave Mathis the opportunity to make the call.

It was a very weak call. The officiating stunk tonight. But the missed free throws killed us.

Regardless of the call (which the refs got right, BTW) the Rocks lost it at the FT line.

Had they approached 80% FT shooting, they'd have won - and NOT in OT.
