    So, next day to look forward is March 1st to officially sign buyouts that the team really wants. I hope the team addresses the need for a PF and another back up C.

    Exactly n when he lost that dribble n all the time out the guy fouled him on the hand fuking his dribble. But no call. Just a horrible reffed game in my book

    I feel like I just watched the WCF. Excuse the tinfoil, but that was total bs. Shaq even started talking about it until sometime spoke into the mike in his ear. The NBA needs to decide whether they want to be a sport or wrestling.

    Ummm harden shot quite of few bricks himself. Especially in the 4th quarter. Terrible shot selection on all of his misses.

    Seriously, if we take anything from this game it is to put the onus on the league to recognize this.

    This loss will be worth it if other people start noticing it and thus makes Foster nervous to pull this off again.

    The whole team choked, starting with Harden. But yeah, this roster is full of streaky, unreliable shooters/scorers. You can thank Morey/Tillman$$ for that

    We all know it's rigged ESPECIALLY WITH SCOTT FOSTER. The frustrating thing is the Rockets were up 19. When you are up that much you can grind out a win despite the bullsh-t. But you can't be on that bullsh-t too. Rockets were on that bullsh-t.

    Everyone knows Scott Foster's record why don't the Rockets?

    Im not saying the refs were the reason we lost, and i could cares less about those techs, its not what lost us the game. It was pretty much over at that point and if we made it to overtime it was gonna be hard to win anyways without James and Cp having 5 fouls.

    Last time Harden fouled out of a game the lead official was Scott Foster

    They want to act like the refs have no say so in these games. Lakers had 33 FT's. Rockets 0-7 when Scott Foster is reffing. and our 2 best players foul out. This was 100% on the officals

    You think the nba will let Lebron miss the playoffs? The hatchet job has started

    Did you watch the game. You can't coach against the fix. Period.

    Down 4 with two possessions to go is far from “pretty much over.”

    So what?
    Bad officiating means they make some bad calls here and there.
    The refs tonight TARGETED Harden from the first second and tried to take him out of the game, until the last when they achieved it.
    It was beyond bad officiating.

    Even the Dream Team can't win if you have North Korea style bribed officials whistling a match.

    Tillman cheaptitta ruined the rockets.

    Just absolute trash around harden.

    I’m close to hoping harden signs with klutch and gets away from this mess.

    The real fkn question is how did Faried only get 18 mins (he was 1-1 from 3pt range) but D'Antoni allowed Green to get 19 mins and shoot 0-10 3PT???

    Lol okay bro, but the odds were very very VERY low that we win that game with our best player out. You are complaining about something thats irrelevant when you look at the bigger picture.
