    How does not even a single player/coach on our bench not make a huge deal or scene right when it happens? They definitely could have influenced a call.

    The one that hurts more was Dwight's where the ref thought it went off his knee. Wasn't even in close.

    with all that said... Jeremy Lin is terrible.

    There was no sign of him being in trouble..... That was a play nobody could have foreseen, aside from the one who actually knocked the ball away.

    I thought you don't give a **** about wasting time on rooting for jerseys anymore? It's silly, and a waste of time.

    Out of bounds or not, he still should have known better than to have started dribbling when there were so many portland players around. He could have passed or called a timeout.

    He put the ball on the floor and dribbled at full speed on a b-line to nowhere. The sign of trouble was Jeremy Lin possessing the ball in a crucial situation.

    Truth. This series so far are 4 toss up games. 3 went to OT and neither team could protect the lead down the stretch. Rockets is more talented but they are not good enough to put Portland away. There won't be so many heart-attacking situations at end of each game if Rockets is clearly the better team as many fans believed before the series starts. A lot of things to digest but blaming on one player's mistakes is being blind about the big picture. A lot of flaws were exposed so far and people are let down inevitably. But give some props to the Blazers, they are playing some great bballs now

    He appeared to have a clear path up the sideline....

    I don't know of how any good point guard would have played that different, aside from some being a little faster or slower dribbling the ball..... The play itself was fine..... As I said, it was a spectacular play by the Blazers player, rather than an awful one by Lin.

    Okay Mo was out, but I can't believe no one on the rockets was yelling at Lin, like "watch your back" ... ppl tell me that when I play pick up ball in the park

    I've watched it numerous times now on TNT (I watched CSN live) and I don't think he was out of bounds. This is the best shot I can grab of his foot.

    I'm not rooting for anyone. I'm watching a game of basketball which I love. I watched all the games today. Didn't root for anyone. Maybe that's why I can see that the refs were bad overall on both sides when you guys only see one side and portland fans only see the other side. I enjoyed the games today. My blood pressure is fine, unlike yours.

    And Yes, Harden tripped over his own feet and got the call. No big deal, the calls were bad all around. Go look on twitter, Portland fans are complaining about the refs just as much as Houston fans.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p><a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNNBA">@ESPNNBA</a> disgusting that harden was @ the line when he clearly tripped on his own, refs need to quit the nonsense</p>&mdash; Trevor Terry (@unc_fan83) <a href="https://twitter.com/unc_fan83/statuses/460635920023437312">April 28, 2014</a></blockquote>

    Didn't we have the right to ask for a review? That's inside of 2 minutes, right?

    There was that hideous sequence when Harden and Parsons just half-lobbed it to nobody. That was the beginning of the end.

    Oh, cool. Will you link your posts on the Portland fan forums too? Or are you restricting them to just trolling Rockets fans?

    If These are the best refs the NBA has to offer, i'm disgusted, and especially tired of the league just giving them excuses all of the time.
