Its the Refs fault AGAIN

stay calm

 

It might have been the refs' fault that the game got out of hand and the teams started getting physical. But they didn't cause us to lose our lead and miss all those 3s.

I think I was more surprised that nothing happened to Blake the two times he yelled, "THAT'S A F*&KING FOUL!!" One of those times lunging in the refs direction. The way he threw the ball off Gordon was kind of a wtf too. But whatever move on.

 

Agreed.

The layup goal tend was ridiculous. Less than 5 minutes, they can blow the whistle to review it.

They basically DECIDED the game there. They literally told the Rockets, "You're going to lose this game anyway, I'm not gonna review plays when I know you're losing."

 

That was a 5 point turnaround how in the hell did they miss that ! That changed the whole game

 

Maybe they'll file another protest, only to let the NBA/refs off the hook again.

Go with A.I. already. Robots will be taking over all jobs soon anyway (says Stephen Hawking....i for one agree)

Tennis using lasers for out of bounds calls

Baseball should use strike zone monitors to call balls and strikes

Cars are going driver-less

 

Don't worry, the NBA aren't going to hold any of their refs accountable just like the previous game. You and the Rockets org can complain all we want but the truth is, the NBA decides who wins and losses in close games. We can only avoid that outcome if we blowout teams like the Warriors do.

 

how did that work in Boston?

This was the craziest part to me. You could hear Blake yell and curse at the ref through the tnt broadcast and he never got a technical, but Gerald green just looks at the ref and swings his arms and gets T’d up.

 

How did refs cause Rockets to shoot 40% FG and 30% 3FG chucking 44 of them?

How did refs cause Clippers to shoot 56% FG and 40% 3FG?

Rockets just played crappy while Clippers played well. Rockets didn't deserve to win. Refs blew some calls but not all calls went in the Clippers favor.

Sometimes, especially this game, a team loses simply because they didn't play well enough.

 

The ref can't always be the scape goat when the rockets were shooting like crap and defense was below par.

 

couldn't agree more. collectively, the worst nba officiating i've seen in a long time and this group of refs are frequently losing control of games and making things worse.

 

get woke

 

This.

 

They’re allowed to review goaltend calls, and didn’t do so? I assumed the replay rules made that non-reviewable. And before people complain too much about that, realize that the Rockets (Les) were one of the teams against video replay.

 

Soft shiit???

 

If there's no call on the floor, you can't review it. All you need to do is blow the whistle to be able to review it if there's 5 mins or less remaining in regulation.
