Jimmy Jackson. What up with him? He is playing like **** for the past month. Mobely, quit jacking up 3's. Man, I cant stand it.
SUSPEND THAT FREAKING REF!!! Out of his five fouls, three are called as offensive by that idiot as Daniel Santiago has flopped on every single one.
Didn't we have an 11-point lead halfway thru the 3rd quarter? In about 12 minutes of play there's been a NINETEEN POINT TURNAROUND.
I'll NEVER understand officiating... its almost like they're there, not to ref a game, but to make it as even as possible... ie, if there is a noticeable mismatch on the floor, call the game in favor of the team that's at a disadvantage. I bet some teams could get away with playing 4 on 5 with this type of officiating... they'll call all the offensive/defensive fouls you need if you're at a disadvantage. Idiots.
First one was borderline... second one was a flop... third one was a BIGGER flop, as Yao already had good position (thus he didn't even try to back the guy in, he just bailed out and the ref says, "Yao... you're not better than Santiagoasdsaas... that's a foul.")
Who's in favor of making feigning an offensive foul a technical? This is a riduculous product the NBA has become. Zone D and 7 footers flopping on the floor!
They were all questionable. IMO they should've been no-calls because Yao did not gain any advantage by committing those "fouls."
Any sport where there's such thing as a "make up call," "superstar calls," or "they won't call that in crunch time calls," has got SERIOUS referee problems.
Unbelievable. If Yao plays big and fights back with half the effort his defender is playing him, he is called for an offensive foul. The refs let Yao's defender get rough because of Yao's size advantage and then do not allow Yao to use his size and strength. pisses me off.
From now on, every loss is a big loss. That cushion we were looking at is not enough to just lose out the season. We need all the wins we can get, and right now the Rox look like they're running on fumes to the finish line...
I just realize what's wrong with the refs... they're calling this game BIPOLAR style. They're either calling the foul on Yao, or they're whistling the Bucks... JUST LET THEM PLAY!!!
Rockets 15 assists 16 Turnovers Suns 23 assists 9 turnovers.... the difference so far...come on Rockets down 3...
as I said before, until something dramatic happens, this officiating problem won't go away. to get it resolved, something like following has to happen: 1) get a crooked ref suspended. 2) Yao calls all his fans in China to boycott NBA broadcasting. 3) A crooked ref gets run over by a truck. 4) Chron run ads announcing a list of refs that are not welcome to Houston, ever.
