    He said he was going take over for what Tmac did in the playoffs.

    He had two plays were we could've really made the run but made mistakes.

    Artest is so overrated defensively. 41 points. He's a joke, he can't do **** in the 4th, he can't do jack ****.

    Yep, we won't have Crawford officiating the games and we'll get the extra calls.

    The Blazers announcers whine about a foul call on every possession and have the nerve to say "you can't whine about every foul" when a rocket player argued a call

    I'm pretty pissed...but this always happens to us. Refs always bailing out the other teams. Horrible horrible officiating and it didn't help that we missed a ton of free throws.

    The NBA really needs to implement a replay cam on the big screens so they don't continuously keep making the bad calls.

    We lost this game because of missed free throws, refusing to go to Yao down the stretch, and adelman taking lowry out for brooks.

    Maybe if Yao wouldn't get held and mugged everytime he gets in the post, maybe they could get the ball to him. The refs called nothing for the Rockets in the crucial parts of the game, from the Pussybilla flop to the 'fouls' on Battier at the end.

    It sickens me for everyone calling out the refs. Just accept that we lost. Blame our team for once. Oden fouled out, and two other big players had 4-5 fouls. We've had more free throw attempts.

    But, we've put up bad shots, missed free throws, and made stupid plays. It hasn't been a terrible game by us, but we lost it, not the refs.

    I don't understand why Coach A has to leave Brooks in the fourth quarter. He should be nailed on the bench!

    in 7 years no one has ever gotten it to yao when fronted. do you really think all of yao's teammates and coaches for 7 seasons are the reason? or could it be that yao is really slow and can't jump?

    The announcers wer saying that the Rockets were not being aggressive but the refs have a lot to do with that...

    There needs to be a game plan taking into account the refs

    We don't need solve the fronting problem. Just bench Yao and let Brooks shoot 30 times a game.

    you guys, AB did not lose this game. neither did adelman.

    If the Rox hit HALF of their free-throws the game is tied right now.

    They all lost it. Dont try to find a scapegoat, here.
