    True the rockets aren't playing well but portland isn't playing perfect by any means. This game should be damn near tied if it wasn't for the officiating.

    Rebounding and shooting has been bad, but 2 terrible offensive foul calls are 2TOs we shouldn't have. One took away a made basket and 1 would have been 2 Harden FTs. A missed shot clock violation gave the Blazers an opportunity to get an offensive rebound and a 3 point make.

    We certainly didn't help our cause but bad calls compounded and added to our list of crap stats.

    I don't think the ref's are to blame us loosing since lets be honest we did not have a good 1st half.

    But regardless we wan't a game where you don't notice the ref's influence. The commentators are even talking half of the time about the refs....it makes for a frustrating game of bball to watch

    I just tuned in and while I don't doubt you all that the officiating is dodgy, the refs didn't make the Rockets shoot 7% from 3. League-average shooting and the Rockets are ahead.

    Even with our bad effort, we should be winning this game. Let's turn it around. If i see more bad calls than I am going to lose my mind.

    Hope folks can post up videos of each of the really bad calls... at least folks will see how bad the calls have been.

    When the NBA still needs 98 year old Dick Bavetta to still ref big games for them, it tells you all you need to know about the state of officiating in the league.

    Hate to see refs decide a game, but looks like that's what's gonna happen tonight. Too bad.

    Rockets announcers as bad as the refs? :grin:
