    Yao got that call for standing. Harris just ran into him.

    Like Magic said, we are just playing to much 1-on-1 offense right now.

    The call was very bad but we can't make it an excuse. We aren't playing well at all. There is no energy out there.

    what do u expect? our crowd hasn't showed up all season, just becus it says it will show up in the playoffs won't change the refs mind that our home court is really our "homecourt" if you know what I mean.

    Becuase homecourt advantage for the REFS depends on the fans, right? ...

    Yes, one of the worst I've seen this year. I must not know the rules or something.

    Dallas - 14 personal fouls
    Houston - 11 personal fouls

    It is only Yao (and therefore the team) that is getting screwed.

    The 3rd foul on Yao, what should he have done?

    A foul would be called if he had jumped; and a foul was called when he stayed on the floor!:p

    yeah that's right, if the crowd is as loud as in Arco arena or Dallas.

    Why is there such a correlation between the teams getting so many so called calls at home -particularly when we play there- and the no calls we always b**** about when we play in TC?

    But he was standing inside the circle and you can't do that.

    This may be the most asinine thing you've ever said... loud crowds do not equal preferential treatment for the home team.

    Aggressive play and superstars do... or when the NBA is trying to give the team who's down 0-2 some kind of leverage in making it a close series.

    If the Rockets stay aggressive, they'll start getting the calls... T-Mac just got one driving to the hole, Sura is shooting FT's now.

    I'm more worried about their rotating defense... Dallas is getting all wide open shots, and if they hadn't missed quite a few, they'd have a double-digit lead.

    The Rockets need to keep it within reach right now... they've played horribly, without flow, haven't found their stride... and yet this game is right there for them.

    I thought you couldn't be called for an offensive foul if the defender was standing inside the circle... not that the defender is always called for a foul if he is standing inside the circle if there is any contact at all.

    Bingo... its either a foul on the defender, or a "no call" when its a blatant charge.

    That should have been a no-call.
