    just pure luck, but last night if you were watching the game, the broadcast team highlighted larry bird's jersey number in the rafters. Gee out of all the jerseys, why him?

    Come on JH13, take responsibility, "Those last couple of possessions was terrible. With the officials down to two, I need to execute better and win these ballgames. Props to Marcus for two Oscar winning performances."

    No,,,there is no luck at all, anymore than what you said about Harden and the #33

    You are scripted. That is the only explanation for why you made Post #33 to explain the importance of 33, without knowing you were doing it.

    Also, notice your key Game Thread post was #52, and your last post here is #41. That's a number string of 1, 2, 4, 5. Look at the number that is missing in those two posts. The number 3, see.

    Not to mention his sign on date is 420, which explains everything.

    Why is this a problem? It's not like there were 3 refs for the Celtics and 2 for us. The game only had 2 refs for both teams so it was fair.

    I may be reaching here, but what exactly do you mean by "win"? In my book, that means a championship and CP3 is gonna be needed for that.

    I meant win in the regular season. They don't necessarily need CP3 to win games in the regular season. They definitely need him for the playoffs, especially to beat GSW.

    Has Marcus Smart really only been fined 5k his entire career for flopping?

    Still doesn't change the fact that both teams complained about the refereeing and the Rockets benefited early and the Celtics benefited later. And that the Celtics adjusted to the refs, the Rockets did not.

    where is your evidence that the rockets benefited early from biased/incorrect calls in their favor?

    yes, 2 refs is why we lost a 26 point lead.

    There were a number of calls made that Ackerman and Bullard honestly described bad calls...

    From various articles covering the game:

    What was more frustrating was, at least for the first one, the inbound pass didn't even go into Harden ('course, he was being held), so the play didn't even effect the game.
