Also harder to play defense when you are in the penalty and one of your bigs is in foul trouble for a lot of the night. FT difference was the game. If the Bulls shot 10 FTs...fine...then you could just say "Refs just were calling a physical game." but they weren't, they were calling a game in the Bulls favor.
So what does it mean that Josh Smith had a pretty dam good game, but he was a -19 for +/- on the floor? galldern! Almost the entire Chicago team was + and only Dmo was a + for the Rockets. geez.
Against good teams we have the last one I remember is golden state where the last 6 min it was all Harden whereas warriors had ball movement and trusted each other. Good teams do that, when you rely on one player it's easy on the defense bc it's predictable
We never drove to the lane, its no ones fault but our own. Stop blaming the refs like a bunch of simple minded itdiots.
I don't care who we play or how we play if the refs not going to call any fouls for us on offense but call bs fouls on us on defense then no matter how aggressive or smart we play doesn't matter because we screwed. That was terrible your not winning.
I'm sorry, but there is NO WAY the Rockets scored 62 points in the paint and only got 5 free throws. With that being said, Butler made Harden his b**** tonight. Why they didn't go to D-MO in the post late is beyond baffling to me. I don't think Harden scored a single point late in the game. He didn't even set anyone up.
We could not put the game away when we had the chance in 2 opportunities. In both cases we had easy rebounds and lost both of them. Both were responded by Bulls runs.
If you're McHale, your team is down nine and dribbling out the clock, why do you not say something nasty and technical worthy to those refs. Get ejected, but make a freaking statement that the bulls didn't win that game, the refs did.
On some of the last plays he was posting up, Noah was harassing him pretty hard. Saw at least two defensive three second violations there and while Harden had the ball iso'ed..
The Rockets outplayed the Bulls. Simple as that. These refs ****ed us. I Rarely complain about the refs but this game was ****ing rigged/fixed/something. This is ridiculous
Calvin: FT disparity. 28 fouls called on Rockets. 3-5 FT line, how do you expect to win? If they can score 62 in the paint, no one touching anyone? Explain that to me. The NBA looks at every game, they have to look at this. There is something wrong here. A lot of contact and no calls? That's ridiculous.
Rockets had the winning combo with Jet, JSmoove, Brewer, Beard and Superman. When they started jumpshotting from the outside the game late in the game, the game was over.
