    Well if Lin's 3 had counted we would've been up by 1 during our final possession (111-110). Dallas would've fouled and we would've gone up by 3.

    James Harden alone shot more free throws then the entire Mavericks team. No one was really shooting well, only reason Houston was even close was because of Harden's FTs.

    Ok, we lost. Dust up and next big one is coming against the warriors. No let up.

    This game wasn't on the refs. We had our chances. Poor substitution..players standing around confused..no offensive flow.

    Is this football? Official review? I sat the whole 4th quarter on official review when I should be watching a fast paced game.

    The timer from the animation was not accurate. The refs used the in arena timer which showed he didn't get it off.

    So Stern was able to doctor video evidence that shows clearly that Lin didn't get it off in time?

    Someone needs to seek legal action on this. The ONE angle they chose that "showed the fingers were on the ball" had the ball in the foreground. Of course it looks like it's on the finger.

    I wasn't watching the animation. I was watching the backboard light.

    Using that he got it off EASILY.

    There was a difference between that and the official clock I think. The red light was on before the clock was all 0's. I think the refs go by that, not the clock we see on TV.

    Even though Robinson came in with energy and some important blocks, he looked lost in some plays. The same with D-Mo. I would've preferred Lin in the game over Beverly too.

    lol LOFs. Lin was just too late, and the refs are just doing their job. If anything, Lin with the most TO's costed us the game.

    According to the feed I was watching, the red light came on and Lin still had fingers on the ball. It was damn close but it looks like the refs got it right. Very very close though.

    Jesus....get over it. It was a bad call. It was hardly the reason we lost.

    We gave up 112 points to Dallas on 55 percent shooting. THAT is why we lost.

    There were several questionable doings by the ref, most notably the Lin 3... But you can't put this game on them.

    Substitutions were horrendous, far too many turnovers, the offence looked stagnant with mainly iso plays were the biggest factors. Also, Asik was very off on his free throws tonight, which is unfortunate because he took a lot and normally is pretty decent.

    ****ing refs ruined a ****ing good thing here. what the **** someone is going to creep up to them while they are sleeping tonight and ****ing **** them up

    This is exactly how bad officiating survives. Fans and media find other things to blame. If only we had shot 100%, it wouldn't have mattered! :rolleyes:

    If the call(s) was a mistake, it's a mistake. The officials have a job to do. They didn't do it. They should be held accountable, like everyone else at any other job. They won't be. It sucks, but it shouldn't be thrown under the rug. They took this game from us.
