It's sort of strange that even though Yao was reasonably reffed tonight, they found other ways to make it tough for us to win.
RAYRAY that's how I felt..that I wasn't going to watch the next game..cuz we lost not just cuz of the refs..but then I watched YOYO's video and it inspired me to just have to watch tonight's game lol. Anyways..I think we should e-mail whoever the heck we have to in NBA..get like 100,000 people to email them and all tell them how much the referees suck. NBA is entertainment business..profit...but yeah officiating unfair and horrible. I wonder what JVG has to say about this game.
Who's gonna to bring some ref bashing banner to game 6? Houston fans are too laid back. If this were in a soccer game in some other countries, those refs would get their houses burned.
Cradle it from who? A fan in the front row? Barry was fixing to pass it off! Finley was nothing more than a spectator. The officiating was unacceptable tonight. Someone will pay for this!
Watching the postgame right now...JVG wants really bad to rip the officials..he is just not saying it straight out. He mentioned Finley out of bounds twice and called the officials great... F..k those f...kers
If the situation is reversed, you can rest assured that refs will call a loss ball foul on whichever Rockets player tries the steal.
When this happened where was the supposed foul? Didnt Stack trip over Barry who was laying on the ground?
Barry was standing right next to the line. He probably knew that no one could blind side him with a steal because in order to steal the ball in that situation, YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM OUT OF BOUNDS. Too bad the refs couldn't figure that out. Is David Stern going to attend the game in Houston? I hope he is. I have some gifts for him.
Yeah he was handing it off to Tmac..he didn't know a guy like Finley could be out of bounds and just come from behind and knock it from him. Barry knew he was right at the baseline..didn't know Finely could do that! Finley is the master at getting steals..refs love to see Finley get steals. But on a positive note, I LOVED YAO TONIGHT. He owned!!! Do it every game big man! We need some Bill Walton and Hubie Brown in the house along with Steve Kerr, Calvin Murphy, Van Chancellor, Bill Worrell, and Matt Bullard. Yao was awesome..I loved it..very very very efficient. Rockets are definitely going to be better next season.
that was the most ****en bull**** calls i ever ****en seens.... on top of all that ****en ****.. they were the worst ****en calls i ever seen... how the hell these ****en dumbass ****en refs get a ****en paycheck for ****en swinging ****en games like that... artghhhhhhhhhhhhasdj,fgksafhjkdfsahg;kldsrhguioerhkie I just cant believe that ****en ****... someone better be ****en fired but butt ****en 8am tomorrow for ****en **** up.... if not then we all now the this ****en **** is just as good as ****en wrestling... its call ****en fixed...... **** the bull ****en ****.... sorry i had to vent
Don't forget the hack on Yao by Nowitski in the third when Yao made a layout. It was obvious(on TV) that Dirk slapped his arm on the layup and Yao was complaining. Plus that last foul the refs didn't call on Dirk, he should have fouled out by the three minute mark. In all, he was allowed seve fouls!
Oh oh, the league is threatening JVG with an investigation and said that depending on the outcome his status as a coach maybe in jeopardy....
I really hope some of the so-called basketball analysts in the national media back up Van Gundy today on the ref situation. I wonder which journalist would have the integrity to point out David Stern is not wearing any clothes.
I guess they think that they can f*ck him some more. After all, tonight's little f*cking job wasn't enough.
