Does the NBA need a 'challenge' flag like the NFL?

    The call on the 3 was too close to overturn, and the bad call on Lee made no difference as they still had the ball.

    As soon as they said Tony Brothers after player introduction, I knew I'd have a bad feeling about this.




    The west is so tight right now. There might be 17 more games left or so, but I bet this game might be the difference between being on the road and home court advantage and/or better seeding.

    This loss had nothing to do with the refs. It was all about not having any bench contribution. No Lowry. No Martin. No bench Except for Camby. 13 points on 24 shots. Martin and/or Lowry would solve that problem. Not optimistic on their return this season.

    Tony Brothers, Tony Brothers. Every single season he found a way to screw us.

    Quit blaming the refs

    Our bench was outscored by 30 points. The bench played sorry tonight. THATS WHY WE LOST

    I got so pissed off I took a very, very long walk. I haven't been this mad since the Jacoby Jones incident. The league is clearly fixed. Not a doubt in my mind. Money is always at the heart of everything. The league then fights over it with no regard for the fans. It's sickening, but what can we do? Tonight, I serously considered not watching sports anymore. It's become way too predictable. No way Dallas falls to 9th seed. No one cares about Houston. No national games. Parsons didnt even make rookie team. I thought people liked success stories. I guess that's only in large markets. Patterson got fined for speaking out. What happened to free speech, and what is the NBA so desperately trying to hide? I have decided I won't ever leave the Rockets. I have been a fan since as early as I can remember. I'll be a Rockets fan my whole life. I want to root for the underdog against all odds and wouldn't have it any other way.

    I think the best we can do is just get used to it. The NBA is a business. Nothing in life is fair. No one cares about the Houston Rockets. Let's just keep supporting our guys, and when they defy all odds, it will be that much sweeter.

    Is this suppose to mean something? Our starters also outscored the Mavs starters by 28. Random stats are just random stats.

    That would slow the game down WAY too much. Bad calls are a part of the game

    Getting a superstar would help with calls

    Yes, the nba needs a challenge flag, but the quality of refereeing is so poor it would probably be too much of an embarrassment to the nba.

    The biggest risk for the nba is that the players know almost 100% certainly whether they fouled someone or not.
