[youtube]IaMMo0w2TOE[/youtube] it was considered a foul on greg smith...greg smith never touched mullins... AMAZING...idc if theres a thread on officiating already this foul really pissed me off the most.
There were so many other bad calls. Batkins should do a "bad call" highlight vid instead of his usual Rockets highlights.
it's not me just being paranoid like agent mulder, but all you have to do is watch early 2000s basketball and see how refs take things personally with certain players. they didn't like howard or the rockets in L.A.
Worst call was actually when JLin hits a screen, and they call a foul on Lin (CP3) ~ Refs were ridiculous. 1/2 the fouls called on Lin/Howard were ridiculous. It was literally care bear calling.
The refs clearly had a vendetta against the Rockets tonight, and I'm guessing it has a lot to do with them having an ax to grind with D12 about the way he left LA. I'm guessing we can expect the same kind of treatment when we play the Lakers in Staples Center too. Tonight was a pathetic display from a couple of veteran refs, and the Rockets didn't respond well to it either. I did like how Dwight clearly understood what was happening, and would tell his teammates/coaches to back off when things were becoming obvious.
Dwight was laughing and shaking his head pretty much the whole game. Everyone knew what was going on, McHale should have just rested the starters for the entire second half so they'd be better rested for tomorrow.
i thought the "charge" on griffin by casspi was pretty bad. but there was just some bad officiating tonight.
Put a "b"low -light reel for ESPN to share. Never fun to watch games with questionable officiating. Even worst when its against your team.
I was at the game tonight. 2 of the fouls one Lin were total BS. On one, Lin had his back turned towards CP3. Also, even the crowd was surprised when Lin got hammered by DJ in what looked like the restricted area on a drive and didn't get a call.
