    OMG THIS DESERVES its own thread!!!

    What just happen in Sacramento its a travesty

    The NBA has all these technical rules but u can't review a frickin play
    when its almost the end of the ball game and every point matters!!!

    THE REFS just may have cost the ROCKETS the DIVISION and HOME COURT

    way to GO REFS!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    UGHHH it was sooo obvious tooo....i bet those refs were betting on the game

    Agreed, they ought to be able to review any plays within the last minute of a game.

    I heard on the radio last week that they are going to expand the review capabilities for next season, but I think Stern ought to put something into place for the playoffs.

    Finley just hit a shot with less than 2 seconds remaining to give the Spurs a victory, but it was clearly after the shot clock went off.

    The rules don't allow the refs to review the play.

    That was because of a homer foul assessment by a hawks employee. This is just a bad none call. I don't think they can do that or we would have won the 2005 playoffs vs mavs.

    They really need to, because this reminded me of the Heat game a few Sundays ago where the Refs just decided the Heat should win the game in the last minute.

    Reveiw it ALL in the last minute, adds to the tension...even blocking and chargin. Tired of Utah's 'Game winning' Flops.

    It's an anti-Rockets agenda I swear. First they let Finley play without out of bounds rules to screw us, now they let Finley hit game winning 3's without time restrictions to screw us!

    STTEEERRRRRNNNNN!

    actually they should change the freaking refs. how could they not notice that?

    also i dont get why the buzzer doesnt sound when the clock hits zero. if it does the ref would probably have made the right call.

    Im glad Im not a Kings fan. But then again they blew the 2 for 1, they did have 1.3 seconds left, and for some reason they kept letting Udrih shoot.

    Ye of little faith. How did this call affect our HCA and SW division winning? I am confident and I believe in the ability of the Rockets, I don't need no other teams' help.
