Audio: Zach Randolph blasts officiating for Memphis loss in Houston

I'm wondering how many of you watched the game too and aren't just looking at the box scores. There were a couple of questionable touch fouls committed on Harden tonight, but the majority of the fouls were legit. His shot wasn't fouling so instead of hoisting up jumpshot after jumpshot like he did a few weeks ago when he went 0-10 from the 3 point line against PHX, he put his head down and took it strong to the basket. You guys complained when he settled for the 3 and now you're complaining that he took it to the rim. What the hell do you want the man to do next time his jumper isn't going down? He wasn't even flopping and anybody that says he was either didn't watch the game or are biased. He played the same way he did the night before against the Spurs when he only got 6 free throw attempts. The difference is the Spurs played disciplined, didn't foul, and made him finish his drives whereas Memphis was aggressively trying to block his shot or strip the ball from him. Yeah Z-Bo you played hard, but that doesn't give your teammates the right to go across his body while he is penetrating to get the ball. I remember Tony Allen clearly going across James horizontally and head butting him while going after the ball and complaining to the refs that James head butted him...James was going forward and he was going sideways!

And don't even get me started about the Dwight Howard fouls. It was touchy both ways, but guess what, he was committing stupid fouls just like the guys trying to check Harden. If teams don't like Harden shooting foul shots, either stop fouling him or put a player on him that can keep him out of the paint. Simple as that. Memphis perimeter defense on him last night basically escorted him to the basket and fouled him in acts of desperation to try to make up for getting beat off the dribble.

 

If you were working harder than the Rockets, you should have been able to score above league average when the Rockets' rim protector was Donatas ****ing Montiejunas.

 

This is what i saw as well

 

i just rewatch it and he got upset because he wanted a foul call on a rebound but jeremy stripped him down. He complained he got hit on the head which i didn't see but he was stripped first. Then even after that tho he got a charged on James Harden even tho he was moving. So idk why is is crying about the refs. He clearly got all his calls


here is
ZBO crying Blames the refs ala Griffin

 

sorry here is the loops gif

 

The charging foul on him and the goal tending that wasn't called on D-Mo's block were probably what really got him going. Those were more questionable than most of the foul calls on James. The 2 free throws James got at the beginning of the 4th quarter were the only ones where I was really like wtf. I have no idea why the refs called that foul. I guess they thought he was pushed because he fell backwards oddly.

 

Randolph was crying because he likes the colors of our uniforms and wants to play next to Dwight. Oh well, too late.

 

Sounds like Melo.

 

one more

Spoiler

 

I mean, It's gotta be fake.

 

Haaha priceless.

 

Exactly! The refs realized they almost cost us the game because they were calling baby fouls on Dwight, it actually went both ways they officiated badly for both sides, the Rockets always get to the line. Dwight has missed more shots this season than the entire knicks team I beleive, When Harden puts his head down and goes to the basket it is extremely hard not to foul him which is why its so frustrating when he settles for 3's. On top of that the Grizzz had plenty of time to win the game they missd shots.

 

This is bad logic, if he gets fouled then he gets fouled. You want the refs to stop calling fouls because it's feels like too many to you??? that makes no sense.

 

To be truthful the grizz did start it, they got mutiple cals in the first half where they wer just flopping and that is why Dwight had soo many fouls.

 

Sorry no. Dwight got plenty of questionable calls its how they got the lead in the first place.

 

Finally some sense being made. you sir are repped.

 

with Dwright out almost whole game and you can bully a 2nd year white rookie?
look into the mirror that's the guy to blame.

 

Zbo was right, but Dwight's 5th foul was bs

 

And my god Lin was getting hacked AGAIN

 

Zbo was mad about getting stripped twice and both were legit calls. Jared Bayless should be fined for blatant flopping, even Chris Webb said it.
