    How is that bull**** allowed? Isn't every team suppose to use an official game ball? If we lose the Rockets need to protest this game. [​IMG]

    Supposedly it was a 6 year old ball Terry Porter used to use. They said it was used during a 26-game win streak the Blazers had a while ago...

    Many of the Rockets, including Barkley, complained about the ball, but they wouldn't replace it.

    I agree - that is bull. Let's e-mail the league. It gives the Trailblazers an unfair advantage cus they are used to using this old raggedy ball.

    Before the game, Barkley got a hold of the ball and tried to burst a hole in it with a ball point pen, and then he drew a skull and cross bones on it...lol

    Well...we don't have to worry about the lucky ball anymore. And after kicking their collective butts Reggie took care of some more business and tossed that ratty piece of crap into the stands. Hmmmm...maybe Chucky did put a little bit of a hex on it...
