for any of you in portland who read clutch fans read this.......quit the complaining yao is fouled just about every time he comes down the court, also you think the disparity might be because we are going to the basket more? play the game and quit worrying about the officiating...mabyee thats why you keep losing and we keep winning, because we focus on the game and not what the officials are doing. (by the way 79-106 in 4 games is not that big of a difference less than 7 fts per game....get over it)
Rule No. 12 - Fouls and Penalties B. Personal Fouls Section I - Types a. A player shall not hold, push, charge into, impede the progress of an opponent by extending a hand, forearm, leg or knee or by bending the body into a position that is not normal. Contact that results in the re-routing of an opponent is a foul which must be called immediately. b. Contact initiated by the defensive player guarding a player with the ball is not legal. This contact includes, but is not limited to, forearm, hands, or body check. EXCEPTIONS: (1) A defender may apply contact with a forearm to an offensive player with the ball who has his back to the basket below the free throw line extended outside the Lower Defensive Box. (2) A defender may apply contact with a forearm and/or one hand with a bent elbow to an offensive player in a post-up position with the ball in the Lower Defensive Box. (3) A defender may apply contact with a forearm to an offensive player with the ball at any time in the Lower Defensive Box. The forearm in the above exceptions is solely for the purpose of maintaining a defensive position. (4) A defender may position his leg between the legs of an offensive player in a post-up position in the Lower Defensive Box for the purpose of maintaining defensive position. If his foot leaves the floor in an attempt to dis-lodge his opponent, it is a foul immediately. (5) Incidental contact with the hand against an offensive player shall be ignored if it does not affect the player's speed, quickness, balance and/or rhythm. ... continued... The second exception allows for one hand on the post-up player, not two. http://www.wageronhoops.com/nba/rule12-fouls-penalties.html
then dont post on our site this is a forum for ppl who like the rockets. a$$es go back to where ever it is you are from, quite frankly sir YOU SUCK!!!!!!!
If you read the comments underneath, most of the Portland fans talk about how it's hard to hate the Rockets, and how they're gonna root us on if we end up beating them. It's nice to have a friendly rivalry with a team and a fanbase in the playoffs, and not have to deal with those lowlife, scumbag Jazz fans.
