it looked like the refs were blowing a ton of calls, did it look that on the tube? I wasn't the only guy in the TC that was annoyed with the three techs...and tons of calls/no calls that happened. I thought it was a bunch of bullcrap!!!!
There were several take down on Yao late in the game that was not called. Several strips also not called. Your eyes are not lying to you.
Atleast we know you're not lying about going to the game since Rocket games dont air of the "tube" any longer . The ref's did screw up a lot of calls tonight, especially that young ref who called the tech on Alston.
alston should of gotten that tech call....but from the replays, their shouldnt of been a foul call on rafer simple cause and effect terrbly called game but we all should be used to it since we are ver rarely on the side of the right calls.......aka anytime tmac goes to the lane. tmac and yao are the worst officiated players seriously
The league doesn't exactly love Houston. I mean, after what Van Gundy said about the Refs being against Yao, you think Stern would let that fly, even AFTER the $100K fine? I don't know, but, I still feel like that has a lot to do with it.
how about that crowd for the end of the third quarter and all of the fourth?, it was great to see everyone into the game (i sat like one section over from the rowdies)
There were some bad calls, and missed calls. There were some both ways. I tend to think the Rockets got a miniscule disadvantage in that category, but I don't know if that is because I am a Rocket fan, or because that is really the way it happened.
On TV I thought it looked horrible. There was one stretch where they called 3 or 4 right in a row within a minute or two and most of them were phantom calls. I thought the officiating last night was horrible. But what a win. Yao was awesome. Rafer was feeding the ball unbelieveably. They played some good basketball. Indiana shot lights out the first half but then came down to earth. It was so good to see them not quit when they were down by 14 in the second half, but fight hard and pull out the win without Tmac. Awesome effort!! Keep it up.
