    Keep in mind that this same ref who contributed to our Game 7 loss against the Warriors (and officiated a horrific game against us tonight) very likely engaged in illegal activities alongside Tim Donaghy. Chris Paul has spoken out against this referee numerous times throughout the years, and the Rockets are now 0-7 in games he's officiated this season.

    I will bump this thread every time he officiates one of our games to remind fans that the NBA continues to keep a crook on their payroll.

    NBA must be in on it seeing how Scott Foster is always reffing important playoff games.

    Every time the Rockets play like crap AND the referees job everyone, we debate which one caused the loss. In this case, I don't know how you can say it was anything other than BOTH.

    HOWEVER - our other recent collapses have been self-fueled (and there's way too many of them). This one had a LOT of gasoline thrown on the fire. Harden was getting phantom calls all night. Pope, Rondo, Lebron, Ingram were absolutely clobbering people over the back on rebounds, no calls. Clint had to sit for some quick fouls - was put back in and quickly got a phantom foul on a set screen. The Paul call on Ingram before the two techs was just the tipping point where the game was already out of hand.

    Given that Foster has been repeatedly discussed by NBA players/personnel for being the worst ref in the league, I don't understand how he's still calling games professionally.

    Let him go take out his daddy issues at a beer league somewhere.

    We suck but at least we're not corrupt like Scott Foster.

    The call on Clint was horrible. Clint was clearly set and they called it moving pick.

    Ingram pushed off faried and they call foul on Faried.

    It can’t be just a coincidence that a guy with such a shady past consistently gets to officiate big games.

    He’s a paid mercenary paid by the nba to carry out jobs that benefit the nba.

    It’s painfully obvious at this point.

    Read the comments of people defending Scott foster and calling the rockets whiners

    that is the rockets reputation outside of clutchfans.

    The general public hates the rockets and finds joy in them getting blatantly screwed by the refs which is why there is no point crying about it.

    That's why we just have to go out and win Dream didn't get nearly his fair share of calls he started putting the ball in the basket and killing the other team and not giving the refs a chance to cheat

    Even Charles and Chris webber called it out on national Television that the refs took over the game and that it is for personal reasons. Again its our fault because we should have crushed them. MDA overplayed his hand on some of his substitutions. But the Rockets don't need anything but to get the team playing at a high level and get the no 3 seed in the playoffs. As for the Lakers i hope they lose and i think they will and not make the playoffs

    With refs help or without. The rockets are the ones who put themselves in these situations.

    You guys had to already know the NBA was rigged. So is football, baseball, and every other sport.Why do you think LA. has 2 teams in every sport? Money. Big spenders, box seats, and a lot of corruption.

    The NBA would love nothing more than to see the Lakers face GSW in the Western Conference Finals. That's where the money is. I'm sure LeBron has told Anthony Davis that the Lakers will make him more money and fame than anyone else.

    Sometimes I wonder why I even bother watching sports. Officials decide who wins. It will never change. Its just like politics. Money, greed, a whole lot of money changing hands, and corruption oozing from every direction.

    The refs know our game strategy is to get to the free throw line they would not allow it. they are letting people crowd Harden All game which is no problem as long as you allow us to crowd Lebron like that

    Agreed except 3 seed is a pipe dream as long as we are having these offensive meltdowns so frequently.
