Mo Williams was out of bounds (UPDATE: Looks like he stayed in)

Yea I don't understand how the bench wasn't irate!? He was out

 

Howard called a TO and Wesley fouled to get the ball...
Harden fouled on his 3 point jumper...
The blown Lin call...


And that doesnt include the terrible officiating during the course of the game. The refs for both teams made some really bad calls. Period. Unfortunately, Houston on the wrong end of it. Tough way to loose, but atleast we have a game on Wednesday.

 

So many things could have changed the outcome of this game. Players made their mistakes, as did the refs. No way the NBA replays a playoff game because of one missed out of bounds call. Otherwise, every game would have to be replayed.

The thing is, luck is always a factor. A team either plays so well as to render these end of game situations irrelevant or they risk losing a game on a BS call or a random missed FT or such BS.

 

while everybody was screaming for pitchforks and torches at lin, i was screaming for another replay at different angle

Yes he was. This is the BS that costs you a season like from the Houston-Dallas series in 2005. Remember Michael Finely and Jon Barry in Game 5?

 

I agree. The Refs have been awful all series but it's easy to only see the bad calls against your own team because it's human nature to be bias. Just pointing out that the Rockets also got some calls, especially that big one which sent Harden to the line.

 

Yes that one was the worst.

 

Unless his foot was not in contact with the floor, it was at least 18 inches out of bounds when he tipped the ball. Why was no one talking about this?

 

That's the first thing I thought of. That game was rigged too remember Mr Donaghy?

 

Bad COACHING!!!!

All McHale had to do was insist on a replay. The refs would have had to do it. He probably was clueless.

 

McHale should have had them replay it???? It happened right in front of him?

 

You've posted this in 2 threads now, he was clearly tripped by a defender. What the hell are you talking about?

 

Ah I didn't remember that. Frankly I'd be naive to think there wasn't any underhanded ref behaviour today. Today's officiating was so bad two neutral NBA fans pointed it out too so I'm not crazy.

 

how the **** was this not reviewed or even mentioned on tnt???

 

WTF was Mchale doing?

 

Ernie on Inside the NBA just said he thought Mo was out of bounds

 

Always play to the whistle.

Lin had two chances to cancel out that TO by holding onto the loose ball which he didn't or stopping the 3 but did his trademark overrun the set player instead.

 

Is this true?

 

Like why are refs paid to coach at these games..to make at least 90-95% of the calls correctly. When there is much more discrepancy of the calls that were made, that is just sickening.

I just dont know if the Rocket can protest the issue, because they didnt mention it to any of the refs...and considering Mchale stood right at the baseline...I cant believe it...infact the play happened on hte Rockets side of the court.
