    The NFL isn't changing the PI call because of the lawsuit. That lawsuit did nothing for anyone other than the lawyers. Suing the NBA because the Rockets lost a game (yes, one that was affected by the refs but also by poor play of some it the players) is not grounds for a lawsuit. Unless you can find definitive proof that there was an effort to defraud you, the fan (and by extension, the Rockets), you have no grounds to sue.

    I didn't say a game, I said the series. Take a deep breathe and smoke a joint

    While I'm sure there's some juicy criminal stuff under the surface in the NBA, I think the best you'd have would be some alleged breach of some clause in the overall contractual obligations between the owners and the league office. Something that probably would be ill-defined and easy to draw out into a years-long case with no clear victories. It would just make Houston look bad. And it's probably something that's more designed for internal conversation and resolutions since this is really an organization with 30 major stockholders.

    My preference would be to do this more Chicago-style. Well, a nicer, more legal, less-deadly version. Hire some P.I.s and dig up dirt on the worst offenders in this whole mess. It's there. Save it for a rainy day, and then, oh no, something sprang a leak on that rainy day.

    I'm as pissed as any Rockets fan and yet realize lawsuits are an EXTREME last resort.

    At the end of the day, I just want officiating to be transparent and to improve. That's it.

    He's a brand new owner that owns casinos. I SERIOUSLY doubt Tillman will say anything.

    I will. Later. My point still stands, though.

    Tilman didn't become a billionaire by suing the entities that gave him the vehicles to earn his fortune. Give me a break with this.

    You know how sometimes we link angry threads from rival fan-forums, just to ROFL at their absurdity?

    Well, I normally don't advocate censoring content, have never used the ignore function, but in this case would someone with the means please delete this festering sore on our BBS?

    Tilman's money would be much better spent on putting together a roster that can decimate these motherf$#kers.

    This is up there among the most ridiculous threads ever. Suing a league because a team lost? Because of borderline calls that went the wrong way in your opinion? Are you serious?

    Do you even see how that looks when you suggest it?

    At least Scott Foster is reffing today. He'll call a fair game.

    Whatever you say lulz, also since you mentioned it. I encourage you to use the ignore function, I have no idea why you mention that because you don't have any value in any regard. So maybe just do it and move on with whatever life you live :)

    No dont really need to, have no problem reading/skipping typical tardation from your sort, just kind of cringing re: this thread getting exposure on other boards. Just want it deleted. But be loud and proud, hope it works out for all of us. If they win, we cool right

    Edit- oh thats the OP lol, nm. Keep fighting the good fight my man.
