Is this the worst overall officiating you've ever seen?

Oh yeah, I remember that too. Pathetic.

 

hell yea by far the worst Officiating out of my 25 years of watching Rockets ball... INSIDIOUS

 

It was bad =(.

Season not over fellas i feel this squad is just getting into a groove. Every team has a tough time with 4 games in 5 nights and they was right there with em untill the last 5 minutes when normally that happens with any NBA team.

 

damn I didn't know Rockets is over 25 years old

 

I belive Adelman may pay for that...

But yeah, the refs took over as they usually do

 

He is showing signs of JVG. I wished it was JVG who commentated on our games. I would love to see his reaction and his responses to the way the Refs and Cavs played the game. Even if we lose the game, I would at least know that JVG gave some strong verbal abuse on the Cavs.

I think the least the rockets organization could do at this stage is file a complaint, requesting Varegina to be fined, or at least discipline the Refs.

 

That playoff game between the Lakers and Wolves several years back was still the worst. Even the commentators were voicing their frustration.

 

The underground betting are having the odds of Rox beating the Cavs, so the official has to do something in order to have the cavs win.

what they did? they took out Yao in the first 3 quarters. since rockets were so deep, we hang on tight for the first half. in the half time the offical got calls from the bookies to have sure this is a cavs win game. what they did then was to not make any calls for the cavs in 3rd quarter.

now they are afraid being discovered, so they have to do something. in the 4th quarter they were making calls in favor of Yao and rockets until the last 3 mins. than it went back to the cavs.

thanks you scums refs.

 

I am not sure about the betting part, but you could put this on the front page of the newspaper. It is exactaly what happened...I dont mind loosing ya know...If the rockets get BEAT...but this game and the game against the lakers we didnt get beat. The refs straight up gave the game away. Imagine if they took Labron out for 3 quarters.

This game was so bad...it was not just bad offciating. It was a scam...there is defintely something shady going on...for sure. The calls against Yao and artest reallly...couldnt have been accidents. If we interagate the refs theyd probablly pull a Roger Clemens and "MISREMEMBER".....

 

Is there anything we can do? Can we put together a video of these games send it out with like letter threatening to boycot the nba? haha

I mean we complain about this all the time...I wish we could use this site to actually voice it...instead of just basking in contempt and misery! lol

 

the line was the Cavs by 8. they wn by 9.

 

Also, the over/under was 189.

Cavs 99
Rockets 90

Do the math...

 

Perfect officiated game, wasn't it?

 

Artest missed a FT to get it to 8, and 190 points.

The refs sucked, but it had nothing to do with the line.

DD

 

The second ft could have been Rocket's line violation if he had made it.

Nothing is out of control.

 

The refs were terrible and I've been a supporter of instant replay for several years now. I know everyone says it slows the game down too much, but would you rather have a game thats a little quicker but manipulated by David Sterns gang of refs?, or a game that uses today's technologies to enhance the games and give refs the support to call games correctly?

My thoughts on this would be to give each team "2-3 challenge replays per half" to use when ever they feel there was a miscalled. Coaches could save them to use towards the end of games or qrts. They would only want to use them when they feel the call was wrong and not just waste precious "foul checks". Refs could use whenever they feel necessary to make the correct calls. But I'd don't feel this would ever come to fruitation, Stern wouldn't let it. I thought the ref betting scandals were going to clean this crap up, but of coarse "NO", it's all water under the bridge.

IMO, what more contributed to our lost was not the refs as much as our chicken little of a so-called superstar. What kind of so-called leader pulls himself from a one point game in the 4th? Ron please reach over and give Tracy a big smack in the face to toughen him up a bit, or buy him some tampons to stop the bleeding.

 

I agree, Yao is very powerful and could use his status to push Stern into a tight spot. Just hit Stern were it hurts in his pocket book.

 

Let there be no doubt... The NBA is about revenue. They might as well call it the WWE.

They limit the fixing to just the right amount. If a failing student cheated too much on a test it would be too obvious.

Yao absolutely has to say something. Remember when Shaq cussed on national live tv? The squeaky wheel gets the grease. I think playing the racism card would suffice.

 

Or even better than playing the racist card Yao should just make a statement like this on national tv in chinese...

Attention all of my fellow Chinese brothers and sisters. I'm sure you have noticed the corrupt officiating that I have been experiencing. I suggest you stop purchasing any nba merchandise until the officiating changes.

I'm willing to bet half a billion people will listen.

 

The refs really need to do a better job at not calling flops. One of the charges called on Yao, Varejao was already falling back by his own clumsiness, a slight breeze would have knocked him over. The refs should be fined for making such terrible calls.
