    All he did was scream after a vicious dunk and he got tossed because it was his second technical.... the dunk cut it to 8 too.

    TOTAL GARBAGE.

    It's the MAFIA, I tell you. We all should have taken the Kings, and given the points.

    Hopefully some of these referees will get shipped to the NBA development league come next season.

    That's why I hate today's refs.This is a case where they played a part in determining the outcome of the game and that's not supposed to happen.

    If anybody tries to respond with "he was being immature, he needs to know better", spare me. That call was pure BS.

    Note: It was my cowhead. I started the cowhead craze, and my cowhead inspired Mooch to step up and bring us a victory. Thank you for your time. :D

    Since when did the NBA borrow its officials from the NFL?

    The Rockets will be the NBA champions. Believe.

    just as the players are fined for talking bad about the refs, they should be fined for very bad calls. they will not make all the right calls, but the league should review tape to see if some refs are making bad calls all the time.

    Its not low scoring that is killing the NBA.

    Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of basketball. If you disagree, you are not a Rocket fan.

    The Kings radio announcer, Jim Kozimor (or whoever does the play by play), called it a "Mickey Mouse" call. I know he at one time worked for the Rockets but those are some strong words from someone who is impartial.

    I even heard some Kings fans booing that call. I'm sure they weren't too upset, but some of them probably came to see Francis do his thing, him being a rising superstar, and to get ejected on a sh*tty call like that!?!
