    This is the biggest joke and travesty I have ever seen in my life, right up there with what Bill Kennedy did. The officials did it to the Rockets yet again. The Rockets season headed downward after the Kennedy production, and the final mathematical dagger was thrown in here by that HORRIFIC DISPLAY OF PURE **** called a game. It should've been Rockets ball with 12 seconds, Pack was out of bounds with 7 seconds... there's nothing else you can say about these officials. Oh yeah, there is. Go to hell guys. We shouldn't even refer to this as a loss as much as a cheat... cause that was plain and simple what it was. The officials obviously don't like the Rockets this season, and may have indeed kept a deserving playoff team out with the events that have gone on this season.

    Robert pack didn't just step out of bounds, he continued out of bounds, at least 2 feet out, but Hellen Keller(Neese) and his band of merry bandits didn't blow the damn whistle.

    Other people always talk about how our team complains alot and blames the refs, but how the hell can we not blame the refs? They literally take victory away from us.

    I hope Rudy gets fined. He should say something about this. I even saw him mouth to the refs "Two bad calls cost us the game." as he left the court.

    Of course, the game shouldn't have been that close, but who cares. The refs did it again. That's at least 5 games they have cost us.

    I think the refs did a fine job. The ball should have gone to us with 12 seconds left. You can tell from the replays. But, it's hard to tell in full motion and it was very close because Mobley and the Nugget had their hands on the ball. I think it's probably prudent of them to give the ball to the defensive rebounder when there is doubt in a situation like that.

    As for the Pack play, they definitely made the right (non-)call. He certainly stepped out of bounds and Moochie certainly committed a blocking foul. If they blew their whistles, it'd be a foul on Moochie, not out of bounds on Pack. Were we in the penalty? Did we want to send Pack to the freethrow line with 4 seconds to play? Personally, I prefer the jumper that was attempted over Pack taking two free throws.

    The MAVS have been seeing this all year. Especially against the Fakers. Last night in the MAVS/Spurs game the refs reversed a foul against Duncan when he yelled at the ref "That's my third foul". It was late in the second period when this happen. I'm not sure which crew it was though. It's called Star Treatment.

    This reminds me: no response from NBA front office to all the letters we sent on the Francis rejection?
