    This guy obviously missed Game 5 of the 2005 playoffs against Dallas. That whole game was worse.

    I think it is ridiculous the calls kobe gets. He gets the most bull sh*t calls ive ever seen. But Yao is the complete opposite. He couldn't buy a call

    The worse I've ever seen was Lebron's "No Travelling 4 Steps-Layup Game Winner" in the playoff couple years ago.

    Bad calls, but definitely not the worst. They still don't know how to officiate Yao for some reason. It's ridiculous!

    The flopping situation is out of control. I thought they were supposed to be cutting down on that this season...

    Yao should clothesline these floppers. Send a message that if I'm going to get a foul because of you, I'm getting my money's worth.

    Are you kidding? If the rule book was followed, Shaq would have fouled out after 6 offensive possessions in every game.

    Horrible calls but the absolute worst one for me would be the OMGWTFUX bearhug by Karl Malone ages ago..

    that's assault on NBA rules.
    To think that the ref got away with screwing rockets like that is just.... i don't know.. :mad:

    I wonder what Stern would say if u show this to him.

    He's already seen this dozens of times I'm sure. And his reactions is give the refs more leniency in terms of gambling. Damn I love our dictator!

    Yao got some nice superstar calls yesterday's game. The refs are human.

    I have seen worse calls, did you forget the series vs the Mavs in the playoffs?

    The refs have been awful in last 3 games. Really. They call everythin' on Yao, but when for example he or Tracy attacks the basket there is no fould. Just awful

    he'd fine you, but of couse he wouldnt give you your money back if he found out a ref was involved in gambling, and you actually had a good argument

    The flop play is a bang bang play. I dont think the Refs are out to cheat anyone, but simply make mistakes. Thats why I dont understand why they cant check the replay on possible flops. I know it slows the game down, but when you see something so flagrant as last night, its fair to do since an extra foul on Yao or any superstar could have such a huge impact if they foul out.

    I know there was talk of trying to stop the flopping and maybe issue a tech. But I dont see how you do that without using replay.

    You just ruined my Sunday. If I'm going to stop watching basketball some day, it has to be after Rockets beat Dallas 4-0 in a playoff serie.
