ClutchFans Game Thread: Grizzlies @ Rockets 3/4/2015

Refs are ruining the league!

 

Your feet are allowed to be moving, what you can't be doing is moving forwards or sideways

 

Not anymore. This game will not be forgotten by the Rockets and their management. You think Morey won't be sending tape of this one to the NBA for the rest of the season? If the NBA wanted to screw over the Rockets, I hope they enjoyed the last 2 nights cuz their fun is over. Anymore f-ups like this and I'll start believing the conspiracy theorists.

 

If Harden/McHale/Morey don't comment about this, I'll be so disappointed. They need to bring this kind of BS out in the media. Fastest way for this issue to be resolved! Its a lost but at least the refs will call it fair!

 

This ! It's ruining this sport it's almost as bad as boxing

 

Don't disagree at all.... These guys (refs) are paid pretty damn well, hard to believe they can be as terrible as they are on a routine basis. They're like the weathermen of sports.

Just realized there was a 17-5 FT discrepancy... How is that possible???

 

McFail did not stand up for Harden on that play. I doubt Maurey will as well.

 

We were the home team! 5 FTA? 17 FTA for Memphis?

NBA should be embarrassed. I guess Harden's suspension wasn't simply a 1-game punishment? Now we have to endure horrible officiating on the 2nd night of a back to back against a divisional rival AT HOME? Pathetic.

What a joke.

 

They didn't have an insurmountable lead and it was in the first half.
This is the NBA. All teams come back. Good ones especially.
Consider the Grizzlies should have lost if the proper call is made and they had a 12 point lead with like 5 minutes left.

There is a reason referee'ing is Being reviewed in crunch time. Because crunch time is more important.

 

The Rockets had some bad stretches in this game, but they made a run to tie it and then got screwed over at the end. Many NBA games come down to final possessions like this and it's incumbent upon the officials to call a blatant hack when it happens.

 

Damn, we can drop to 6th in a hurry...

 

Ehh, I really disagree with you here. Most games come down to a couple of calls. You can't sit and watch something that blatant and not blow your whistle. They were plenty ready to blow it just a few seconds earlier. Just a cop out IMO. If you take that stance...you are saying hey, if you miss opportunities and allow a close game, you have no right to complain about officiating...that's just dodo.

 

That happens a lot to the Rockets. FT numbers where we shoot like 1-5 FTs all game.

I think the organization as a whole needs to complain more, it works for other teams. We are way too respectful to the refs and they never give any of our players any respect.

 

The Rockets are so frustrating to watch at times. They go through these periods where they are so undisciplined. Sloppy turnovers, poor shot selection, lack of energy. It's also frustrating watching how soft the Rockets are in the middle. For all the improvements DMo and T Jones have made they still get bullied in the post. Even with all that the Rockets still should have won the game or gone to overtime as Randolph definitely fouled Harden. Sucks to lose a game in that fashion.

 

McHale and JB looked pretty PO'd to me. But they had to focus on the final possession and try to get a stop. And after the game, the entire team looked like they wanted to rip the refs' heads off.

 

disbelief. honestly what a joke

 

Loosely translated . .. . . unless you play perfectly. . .it is ok for the Refs to screw you



Rocket River

 

He did speak up. JB even held him back. But I guess you wanted him to throw a chair or something.

 

Did you watch the game ? McHale was out on the court yelling at all the refs then he took his jacket off pissed

 

mchale slamming that bottle lol
