    On the bright side now i don´t see wining in Utah THAT hard, because the refs can´t call the game more onesided as they did in Houston.

    FT's.... Do our players ever practice them. Besides Yao, there isn't another player on the team that can hit them consistently or in the clutch or both.

    give me a ****ing break. with 35 seconds left i would be willing to be that call has never been made in nba history. if karl malone can bearhug clyde drexler off the floor with no call, then how you can think they call that is beyond me. everything is allowed with 30 seconds to go in a playoff game. plain and simple, tony brothers is a horrible referee who has no business in the playoffs. he's a spare regular season ref at best. his incompetence directly cost the rockets a shot at this game. how can you even think it was the right call? holding your arm out and the guy running into it happens all the time with no call. it was just a horrible horrible call.

    I feel bad for T-Mac. I really do. He played his heart out, he put this team on his back, and it wasn't enough. It's never been enough with him. He deserves better than this. Jerks like Boozer, AK47 and Nowitzki get all the calls and all the luck, and T-Mac gets this. Where's the justice?

    The Chronicle should break out the "CHOKE CITY" headline to inspire the 0-2 Rockets, like the Post did in 1994.

    Utah didnt BEAT us tonight, we beat ourselves. Missing 10 FT's in the playoffs is hard to win. Surprise we only lost by 6.

    It never should've been in the hands of the refs. Missing 10 free throws at home in a playoff game is inexcusable.

    That being said, the Rockets were raped by Tony Brothers. He doesn't make that horrendous call and it's a tie game with 45 seconds left. We get a stop and we can go for the win on the last possession.

    I keep saying it every year, but the league needs to institute some sort of technical foul policy for flopping. I'm sick of teams like the Spurs and Jazz being rewarded for this crap.

    plus we are making all the mistakes: free throws, turnovers, rebounding.. and they barely beat us.

    last yr we didn't have a bench. this year, we're missing starters.

    the tmac curse lives on.

    Two Rocket teams are not even close. No comparison here.
