ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Lakers 2/21/2019

If guys could hit a wide open shot, the refs can’t do anything with that.

 

While I agree the refs were terrible, this is a classic Rockets 18/19 defeat/choke job. There's a clear pattern here and I can't believe some people can be delusional to this level.

 

The Rockets had a 19 point lead though. I agree with you, the calls on James were BS, but regardless, the Rockets should have won this game despite the influence from the refs.

Does this not sound familiar, story of Clutchfans life. People here can not deal with the reality of Rockets cold streak. They've lost us many games this year, they also lost us two critical playoff games last year. The Rockets could of overcome the Warriors last year after getting a big lead if they would of not ****ing went 0-27 from the three in the 2nd half.

You all always resort to blaming the refs. This loss is on the Rockets. I don't disagree with you all that the game was poorly officiated, but the Rockets should have not lost this game at all. It's pathetic that role players get wide open threes and they cant hit them. It's their ****ing job and they can't be counted on.

 

excuse me. The refs WERE the reason we lost.

 

To morons saying it wasn't the refs. Take those 3 embarassing offensive calls (against Harden) away and this would be an entirely different game. In the end, we only lost by 1 possession.

 

The ref didnt take anything away, he missed both in the forth regardless of the charge..

 

Thank you Morey and Tilman for building such fantastic roster for Rockets.

Thank you MDA for doing great job on coaching.

 

Seriously, MDA, Harden, CP3, someone should get a sound clip. We can't keep letting this happen without alerting the league about it. Just getting a few techs is not going to do it.

Someone on the team needs to openly bring it up "We never win with this guy calling the games." so that he knows people are seeing this shady behavior.

 

Green light Paul was shooting whenever he liked. Stop making this a Paul harden debate . It’s a tactic used by Lin trolls

 

Does our owner have any input with the league? I mean this Foster issue has been happening for quite a while. There is nothing that can be done? Other than file a grievance.

 

If we are jacking threes all game and playing below average defense... why even have hope? Just get your check and live life. Gerald Green out here trying to F a IG Model... dont blame him but overall this team is not championship minded.

 

It has a lot to do with it. Especially when he can get to the rim whenever he wants.

 

It so true. Hit your shots and it doesn't even matter. Rockets are just so dumb..

 

No it isnt. good lord, this is the biggest reach, LOL how many times has this happend this season? Come no now man.

 

I agree. Take the fine. I was proud of MDA. He made it very clear. But we need more.

 

Fouling out our two best players.. calling random offensive fouls to make our stars not want to drive.. I’m sure that has no affect on the game at all.

 

A few 3 pointers from House in the second half sure would have helped. This game was a choke job, just like about 5 other games this year .Tilman needs to quit buying stock in Casinos, and spend a few dollars on his 2.2b dollar team.

 

Refs were bad but i dont excuse poor play and Harden was not good tonight.

 

*shrug* Yet Another Stupid Loss. The Rockets need to hurry up and cure themselves of the delusions they're suffering from because this team looks like a first-round out right now. They can't scare anyone - a good team can feel confident that they'll win handily and a bad team can know that if they play hard and make their shots, the game will be right there to be stolen.

 

No it was impossible to win, when you can't get one whistle and every contact is a FTA for the opponent.
We could be out there shooting 3s from halfcourt and the refs would call an offensive foul.
