    Stackhouse fouls TMac to prevent any chance at a three to tie the game.

    Yao back in the game. I'd put Deke in there too if I were JVG. TMac has to make the first...but he misses it. Game over. Free throws killed the Rockets.

    If Yao makes his freethrows like he always does, Rockets would've won! :(

    TMac had a look at a three, but he had such a poor shooting night, I'm not surprised that he missed the three. Tough to lose such a close game when so many things went wrong for the Rockets in the 4th.

    Stop the second guessing.... if he would have thrown it away, you would have said "he should have shot it."

    Regardless... I'm taking positives out of this game... Yao pick and roll with T-mac NON STOP in game 6, get some easy buckets on offense, and save all the energy for defense.

    It's one thing if the Rockets lose because the Mavbricks are the better team, but these refs are refreakingdiculous!:mad:

    Thanks, Yao, for missing just about every free throws you attempted in the fourth. Thanks for handing them the game with all your free throw misses.

    I can't believe people are still blaming the refs. The Rockets beat themselves. Plain and simple. The turnovers, the offensive rebound they gave away, the missed layups and most importantly the missed free throws. They had soooo many opportunities to win this game.

    Time to lay out another $100,000. I don't usually blame refs either. But that was ridiculous. Seriously.

    So...

    Did you notice that the ref on the other side of the basket, on the baseline, held his hand out to designate a TWO POINTER?

    Yes, his foot WAS on the line, but you can't see that from where he was.


    THIS IS A CONSPIRACY, or the refs just didn't like Van Gundy's lip and used this game to get back at him.
