    The Rockets need to sign a couple of Hollywood actors who can act that he is knocked over after initiating physical contact with the likes of Bowens and Ginoblis. Although these guys cannot play, they can get into opponents into foul trouble within the first 1-2 minutes of a quarter.

    I mean, seriously, if the refs reward floppers, we need to adapt to their styles. Get an ambulance waiting outside the Toyota center and rush the guy to a nearby Hospital within the first minute of the game. I bet that the Rockets will at least get sympathetic calls the rest of the game.:)

    But people in NY and especially the players of the Knicks remembered and were grateful for his act. And they stood behind him and played for him hard. In fact, they called that braveness and love for his team. It's hard to say which serves the Rockets the best, him opening his mouth to whine about the calls and getting ejected, or avoiding complaints about the refs to stop his players whining all the time instead of playing through.

    Mobley was right to call those lowsy refs out. They cost us the game.

    How many offensive fouls were we called for that game? I still think the worst was in the first when Mobley was tripped and subsequently called for an offensive foul. WTF??? Don't even get me started on the lane violation either.

    I hope those refs find something they really enjoy in the offseason, 'cause they sure could use a change of scenery.

    The Refs wern't calling the Game fairly Yao Ming was being fould at least 100 times in the Spurs Game. If you dont believe me check out the picture on the frtont page he is being fould three times in one play and nothing was called! It went on through the whole Game , not only for him but the other players were not getting any respect. Mobley was right to complain and the Rockets should send excerpts to the NBA with complaints!!

    Geez, that one picture show how bad the refs were last night. It was pretty disgusting. Yao was being raped all night by the Spurs. It was a very physical game, but the sad part is it appeared that all the contact was going in the SPurs favor.

    Hopefully Cat and the Rockets can take out their frustration on the Cavs tonight. Blow them out!

    Anyone remember that one play where Yao was posting and his defender fell to the ground, so Yao tried to move towards the basket and they would have passed to Yao if his fallen defender wasn't holding onto his leg. No call of course :mad:

    Ginobli constantly baited the Rockets into bad passes all the while playing a perfect team game.

    The spurs won because they went into Duncan at the end of the game exclusivly.

    The Rockets lost because they quit going to Yao at the end of the game.

    Spurs run their offense through their best player...Rockets freeze their best player out.

    Which do you think is smarter?

    OMG.........OMG.........OMG................NEWSFLASH!!!!!!!
    People flop in the NBA........WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
    :eek:
    Since when?!?!?!?!?!?!???????????
    :confused:

    :rolleyes:


    It's the NBA, not basketball.
    I know people seem to confuse the two very often.
    :p

    Learn to flop as well as how to run to center of the paint just outside that semi-circle to take the charge, and you're a good NBA defensive player.

    More and more players are calling out the refs more then ever. Its a tatic for them to give you more calls. It seems that the rockets and yao get fouled alot and never get the call. Those calls are going to matter as we head toward the last remaining games of the season. In the finals rod thorne called out the refs and you know what, the nets got alot more calls the next game. The whole system of making make up calls is very flawed does more bad then good. If the refs miss a call then theyre going to make it up with a ticky tack foul which could change the momentum of the game. I wouldnt be surprised if the rockets get more calls for them in when they play the cavs today.

    I used to like DaDakotas posts. Now I get simply annoyed by him. He is the only person on this whole thread dawging on the Rockets. Ming wasnt getting the ball because he was getting raped out there and wasnt getting any calls. He was also fatigued.. thats besides the point.. stop being so annoying in your posts. ya i said it. FINE ME:rolleyes:

    Someone needs to make a movie similar to "The Fan" except that the fan harasses a referee. However, I don't think it will be a box office blockbuster.
