    Well that's another discussion. I think NBA officiating is all kinds of f*cked up in all kindsa ways, but I'm just not gonna complain about a foul that's a foul.

    Whether he flailed or not, the question is was there contact? I admit it was close, but there's one angle that seemed to show clear contact. To me, at least.

    Oh well... I'm moving on. Good game... *clap* *clap*

    I think you're frustrated about this season and overstating things. Gordon was pretty solid for us when it mattered... When he frustrated me was just when his shooting was ice cold for inexplicable reasons, for long stretches... but even then, he usually got it going again by playoff time, especially in the years where we had any chance of making noise. I never saw much evidence that he was that "dumb".

    To me at best gordo’s jersey touched shooter’s shorts. Shooter felt a slight whisper of contact on his ass and then embellished contact and flails on the court.

    That didn’t influence the shot

    BS call.

    Had that been LBJ or Curry in place of gordo this is a No Call

    That is what bothers me is the inconsistency of NBA and the reality/perception of influencing the game as the league also does with charge/block calls.

    Ya’ll should be more upset at EG

    And also at the broadcast crew for only showing one angle live as if we’re in the 80s.

    For me, it was a fun game to watch up until the way it ended, not that we lost a game. So we lost another one. No big surprise. No, the way the game staggered to this end made me livid. Really pissed off. Filled with disgust at a league that allows refereeing of this kind and ultimately does nothing about it. Maybe I care more than is healthy. Probably.

    Other than that, good game.

    That's what I thought. But then I thought maybe EGo is really getting old. :(

    Besides the end result, it seemed like there wasn't much defense being played in this game.

    We gave up once again 120+ points. That's insane.

    i thought it was a foul on gordon even without the replay. he had been playing lazy D all nite so not so surprising. however, green was definitely fouled on several drives in the final 5min of this game and this trash ass zebra crew "missed" them all

    @8:30 3Q, E Gordon barked at the refs for quite some time and was very demonstrative so the ending was a big FU from the refs back at EG

    Possibly the most concerning thing about the end of the game is there was no REFS YOU SUCK chant.

    That finish needed way more than just a simple booooooooo

    hmmmmmm That totally depends on whether at that very moment round GORDO intentionally popped up the upper side of his beer belly to hit fox's butt or NOT…

    I hope that was the last play Gordon ever makes in a rockets uniform. I'm sure it won't be, but...
