    I agree we need to develop better habits so that this doesn't happen. Their will always be some controversy surrounding our team even if we win the chip. We just need to take this learn from it and move on to the next gane.

    nope. that's purely assuming everything goes the way it goes before the missed call. doesn't happen that way. the real issue is the rockets blowing a command lead. that's all on them

    Sure I can....there is no way events would have happened exactly the same way had the basket counted. For example, after the 3 pointer the Spurs made with 12 seconds left to tie the game (which in your fantasy scenario would have pulled them within two), you really think the Spurs would not have fouled? You really think they would have let Houston take the clock all the way down?

    That is just wrong.

    If the call was made correctly, they win, if not, they lose. Playing poorly is a constant in both scenarios.

    nah it isn't. what's wrong is blowing a commanding lead that is all on the team. missed calls happen. and a measly 2 pts well before the lead was blown is definitely not the reason they lost.

    by this logic, you can blame every single player that missed a shot bc this assumes everything afterwards happens the exact same way. sore loser talk who don't hold themselves accountable for the real issues at hand

    I'm not one to say that one call is the reason we lost but that's still one extra basket the spurs would have needed to score to get the win so it's one of those what if's and that's why the ratings are down because the NBA blow more games and calls than any other sport

    You keep trying to muddy the water with nonsense. This has absolutely zero to do with how we played, how the Spurs played, the talent levels, the missed calls, or anything else.

    This isn't about a missed call, this is about a scoring error.

    All things being equal, the scoring error was the difference between a win and a loss.

    you keep assuming everything happens the exact same. that's not how it works. all things arent equal. that's your problem here.

    and you definitely aren't addressing the pitiful play that caused them to choke a 22 pt lead. once again, had the rockets taken care of business you wouldn't be crying about a missed basket that happened well before.

    Well duh.

    Again, not relevant to a scoring error.

    if anyone wants to use it as some legitimate excuse as to why they loss, then it sure is relevant

    No it isn't.

    Playing well is not a requirement to be awarded a win, nor is playing bad a requirement to be awarded a loss.

    You don't have to play well to have legitimate complaints about scoring errors.

    and you sure didn't playing well enough to win, if you give up a commanding lead.

    Bro, this isn't hard.

    If they play as they did, not good, but good enough, and no scoring error occurs, they win.

    apparently, its hard for you. you have no idea what would of happened after that missed call, in which they were still up double digits, with about 8 mins left. merely assuming everything goes exactly the same is nothing but that.

    what we do know is they blew a 20+ pt effort. yeah they deserved to lose. you can continue to believe whatever gimmick you want and be one of those that look back and act as if this was the reason they loss.
