    Jim, EGO, & CP3 each go for 30+ tonight. Lead the Wolves by 43 going into the 4th. Sorry, I can't see any farther into the future that that. Go Rockets!

    Hard game for our wings.

    Good thing about this suspension, is going to help us to shut down the TradeAriza Movement. Lets win plese, no more losing streaks

    Was not aware of that. Can you remember which game that was?

    If that's the case...then....well...damn...I feel like, on average, we are officiated worse at home then we are on the road, which is annoying.

    wow, that's a good memory. He called him "r****ded." sheesh Cat.

    [EDIT] To add @pippendagimp's link in post below
    From Clutchfans.net: Cat Scratches: Mobley Blasts Ref Pat Fraher

    When asked if he felt the Rockets had to face eight opponents (5 Pacers and 3 refs), the Cat agreed. "He's seriously terrible. The tape doesn't lie. That's one thing that doesn't lie, the tape," said Mobley, who scored 18 points but hit just 5-16 shots. "I know I'll get fined for this, but there's a first time for everything. He's terrible and he knows he is. He has to go back to the CBA or wherever he came from."

    It continued.

    "You can watch the TV. All I did was shadow (Reggie) Miller. He missed the first call when Moochie pump-faked. Moochie didn't lean into the dude. He went up and got knocked down. He come back down and missed another one, and a key one. He's terrible."

    Added Mobley in offensive comments that were edited out of the Chronicle, "It's one thing to be human, it's another to be r****ded."
    ​
    And he did get fined $7500, which surely was close to a top fine back in 2001.

    Going to the game tonight, been to 2 other games this year. Lakers and Raptors, both times they lost. Predicting another loss tonight. This is a tough matchup.

    He'll start on minutes restrictions then once D'antoni realizes we can't win unless Harden plays more, he'll end up playing 40 min.

    this entire season has been one big "you're not going to interfere with our plans" by the league office

    PG: CP3 36' - James 8' - EGo 4'
    SG: James 17' - Ego 27' - LMM 4'
    SF: LMM 28' - PJ 14' - EGo 6'
    PF: Ryno 30' - PJ 18'
    C: CC 30' - Nene 14' - Black 4'

    CP3 and Ego will have to play heavy minutes tonight and saturday if Harden's on a minutes restriction of ~25min.
    Maybe Ryno will have to play over 30min, let's hope he contributes and coach is able to keep him on court. Positive vibes...

    Still can't believe both Ariza and Green got 2 games suspension. What did Green do to get the same punishment as Ariza, whom allegedly lead the pack. All these bullsheet reports and not a single word on Green's part, at least not something suspension worthy. Maybe he said something that hurt Austin River's feelings, shouldn't be hard to do that. Daddy's boys are not used to defend themselves against reality.

    Zach Zarba and Pat "bulls#it calls" Fraher. Nice. I expect some yelling at the TV tonight.

    Don't do that, send positive vibes to NBA refs, they're only humans, and expect fair officiating and a win!
