    The refs control the game

    Before this game, many people say that it's going to be a 7-game series because the league wants it to be. I didn't believe it. I didn't want to admit the fact that the refs have total control over the game. But, sadly, it is true. So the result is already been set, why are we mad??? It's just like a bunch of people who wear the uniform have the control over all of our happiness and sadness. If you look it this way, it's totally a big joke...

    Whatever man, the rockets had plenty of chances to take the lead and they just missed shots.

    The refs, buy all the crap that Okur is selling. Not cool, but that is not the blame for us losing games.

    Rockets got consecutive calls at the end of the 3rd quater and cut down the deficit. But suddenly, TMac stopped it by 2 long jumpers and one careless pass to Hayes. Refs had given Rockets chance. Rockets blew it.

    Refs totally swallowed their whistle when the Rockets had the ball. They even slowed slow-motion shots that proved it (even though the studio guys obviously were ignoring them) There were some HORRIBLE calls in this game. I remember standing there watching Yao get slapped and hacked for so long.. I was able to get a beer and come back and they were just calling the foul. Reminded me of 2004/5 playoffs. This is the reason why we NEED newer younger refs.. NBA is too fast paced for people like that piece of living history called Bavetta. And that greasy headed ref blew a lot of calls too.

    One more thing .. Yao needs to get deeper in the paint and quit settling for those pansy ass fadeaways.

    Didn't the Rockets shoot more free throws tonight than the Jazz?

    The Rockets lost....and it was not because of the refs.

    Take it easy baby. NBA is an industry which produce money.

    One extra game 7 brings in,

    At least 3 TV license from China = $30,000
    At least 1 TV license from Turkey =$20,000
    Sold Out Toyota center = $2,000,000
    Commercials = $10,000
    Other Intangible Income = $40,000

    Total $3,000,000 freebie why refs and David Stern wants you win Game 6?

    Relax . It is time to kick Dallas A$$!
    Nellie Smokes Cuban!

    Yao was pushed out of the paint, and once he got the ball, he can't dribble, it would cause turn over, so all he can do is those fade-aways. Unless JVG come out something new, Yao's fade-aways not gonna work in this series.

    The way the Jazz played, the Rockets should shoot 30 more times free throws!

    If they called some fouls in the fourth, we would have a lead and it would be a different game. But Dick is dick as I said latter. Hopefully they won't make mistakes in teh Game 7, and we win

    The Rockets had plenty of chances to win, as they continue to settle for jumpers instead of attacking the basket. Even Yao is forcing fadeaway shots when he could be bullying his way to the hoop.
    That said, it is extremely difficult to win on the road when the refs allow the Jazz to handcheck and hold on Mcgrady. Kirilenko had his hands all over Tracy almost the whole game (he was smart to conitnue it because the refs weren't calling anything).
    I just want to get this treatment on Sat.

    Refs control the game? I agree. Look at game 2 (Rox 38 FTAs, Jazz 17).

    The Ref always go for the home team but for some reason we never get the respect from them. The lost tonight we have to blame ourselves because we did not protect the ball and we rushed a lot of shots for no reason.

    What really makes me mad is how Okur, time and time again, slap the crap out of Yao on the turnaround jumper...

    maybe once or twice it was all ball, but its impossible that he's getting it EVERY SINGLE TIME...yet i cannot seem to remember one time the refs called Okur for the foul..

    and that "foul" by Yao when he brushed away Okur's arms cuz he was almost hugging him... gimme a break :rolleyes:
