Is it me, or The Refs are just not giving foul calls for the other team?

I think the refs saw PP's tweet.

 

Yep... they are sending a message

 

What was his tweet? Please share.

 

Maybe that's why Kyle always flops now, Rockets get no respect.

 

Its disgusting if you watched how that game ended with Chris Paul flopping for the last few minutes to win the game for the Clippers. They have zero professionalism as NBA referees. I dont see how there isnt some sort of agency over them that makes them held accountable to bad calls and night?

 

He tweeted that the refs are biased and always give superstar calls

 

They sure made the Rockets pay for that tonight ehh? Yeah they are not corrupt.

 

The Clipper game we had a legit gripe. But tonight we looked tired and didn't attack the rim. The only call that was completely blown was in the last 30 seconds, when there should've been an 8 sec. violation.

 

We lost by 13 because of the referees? That's a new level of stupid I'd like to never see again, keep those comments to yourself please.

 

I am always complaining about the refs, but this game was all on the team (or lack of it due to injuries). Just no energy left. The 8 second call made me very angry though

 

If your a player that is getting pushed around and not getting the calls, that said player is knocked out of his element. They take a shot they don't usually take or try to run a play they don't usually run. This helps to lead to this decline even thought not directly causing it. Example, Player X who is usually taking into the paint is hacked X number of times and no call, he just gives up, takes a out of character jumper or passes it to someone else. This gets repeated, the hole gets deeper.

 

We shot more FTs than the Suns did. We shot 1-11 from 3PT land. We turned it over 16 times, the Suns turned it over 9 times. Courtney Lee shot 0-8 and only had 2 assists. I need someone to explain in very simple terms because I can't seem to grasp it, why given all of that info, we believe it is the referees that cost us that game.

 

While I think the Rockets are the recipient of bad calls (8 sec count last night), they also don't make it easy on themselves by settling for jump shots instead of going hard to the basket as much as the team they play.

 

It really shouldn't be this way but as an official, it's easier for you to make a call in favor of the home team, you dont have to deal with the crowd going crazy and booing you, instead you deal with 2 or 3 players on the road team. When it comes to superstars, you rather not piss off a Kobe Bryant or Chris Paul, it's easier to piss of a Scola or Patterson. They dont go into the game with this game plan, but it's true. It's just like Corporate america, when you go to work and you have to work with someone very powerful in the corporate, very well respected, your less likley to call them out on stuff than someone that isn't as highly thought of.

 

Fisher would've gotten those calls
