Now we very well could've won this game with a few less turnovers or a few made free throws... BUT the officiating these last two have had some blatant bad calls going one way... The San Antonio game especially... All throughout the game... Harden and Dwight both were called for MULTIPLE offensive fouls which count as turnovers which shoulda been FTA... These weren't close or tough calls... They were clearly not offensive fouls... All except the last charge call on Harden were illegitimate... Splitter got rewarded for the most obvious flops... Josh Smith had at least two blocks called fouls.. A horrible one on Duncan.. Meanwhile DMo clearly gets hammered on a putback and they called OUT OF BOUNDS.... Patty Mills drives right at DMo and falls down with no contact and goes to shoot two... Plays great defense on Duncan and is whistled for a phantom foul.. For some reason they were calling the slightest contact on one end as well. We have eight losses.. I had no complaints about officiating in the first 6... But this last one particularly.. It was disgusting to watch
Dear god, it is not the officials, our guys are not playing hard, and making mental mistakes. Our team chemistry is way off right now.....lost that mojo we had with the guys like Pappa and Canaan contributing.....now their minutes are gone for new players....that hurts overall. If the new guys are better - great, Brewer is doing awesome, but Smith has been struggling, moving him into the starting lineup before he knows where to be or how to play was stupid. DD
Rockets aren't losing because of refs. They're losing because of mediocre shooting and dreadful defensive effort.
Somehow your post was a Rorschach test for everyone's pet issues. NBA has been pretty poor handling their image given the donaghey situation
seriously? rockets are sucking. dwight isnt giving anywhere near 100%. josh underservedly got the starting job over dmo. kostas cant even get burn anymore. mchale's bad rotations going at it again. nba refs suck period. these losseas aren't on the refs. losing team chemstiry after these trades doesnt help either.
Eh I didn't think the officiating was that bad. Our guys were a bit fatique mentally all game and physically in the second half
