    No, they are not out to get us. Harden is targeted but that was not last night. Raptors are a darn good team so give them credit. We had a 3rd game in 4 nights so it’s a schedule loss regardless.

    The point is don't blame the refs when the other team scores 45 in a quarter on you.

    what's even weirder is how a lot of those "badly officiated rockets games" are at home.

    does lack of home support contribute to this?

    a rowdy home crowd usually influences the way refs call the home team. keep making bad calls and fans will be on you all night.

    try that **** in oracle or in boston and watch those fans be in your ass all night.

    my thought was that he should instruct every player on the court to simultaneous foul every defensive possession. sort of just make a mockery of the refs and let them extend the game to 4hrs long and get on sportscenter. let all the media whores try to decipher the message by looking at what would possibly cause a coach to do that.

    Even more than at home, most of these “worst of the year” officiated games are versus eastern conference teams at home. Atlanta and Chicago a couple of years ago come to mind. I feel like in the Chicago game the FT disparity was like 25 to 5. And we had been the highest frequency FT shooting team in the league that year.

    Clearly there is an agenda that rears it’s ugly head every once in a while, and usually that is a manifestation of the NBA stepping in and trying to even things out to keep fanbases around the country invested. There is clearly a need to tip the scales for the east teams who currently feature only four or five (Lebron, Kyrie, Porzingis, Giannis, Wall) of the top 20 players in the league.

    Losing games to the Raps is nothing new. They just have our number most of the time.
