    Thats 3 games Dwight's actions might cost us wins (even if the refs are wrong).

    Thanks for sticking up for yourself at the wrong time.

    wait, the official explanation on tech #2 was that he bantered too much with nene. now they pulled out a zapruder tape to identify other infractions of the league rules? my oh my, dwight's magic finger must have gotten the ref both in the front and the back

    Beyond ridiculous...

    What other motivation does this team need to start playing with some fire? This is your us against them moment, take it and play with a chip on your shoulder.

    hate to be that guy, but it's really unsurprising. can't swing down on a refs arm like that. no matter what started it.

    Why are refs allowed to touch players but not vice versa?

    This is the league's response to the Rockets and JBB calling out the refs...

    Fck this league. They kicked him out of the last game for that very action, and the league continues to extend the punishment for another game?

    That's not all, I'm sure refs overall are going to be extra hard on the Rockets going forward. Expect no calls for Harden in the near future.
