that is a baddddd "story of the game". why would you even add the even with the bad officiating part if we didnt win? maybe you're r****ded? how do those two things even connect to eachother?

Too disappointed to write coherently.

The point: We could have overcome the poor officiating if McGrady wasn't unable to move normally. That team is not better than the Rockets.

Reasons why we lost:

1) Refs. Kept Yao out for 3 quarters of the game. Once they let Yao play in the 4th quarter we made a furious comeback but ran out of gas at the end.

2) T-mac and Battier. Both of them are probably not 100% recovered from their injuries. Fatigue from playing 4th game in 5 nights, etc. I'm not hating on them like some other posters but you certainly have to shoulder some blame on these two for their lack of offensive production.

But overall I'm very proud of how they kept the game close and didn't give up when the Cavs got a double digit lead. The team showed some heart and toughness tonight. Keep doing that and Rockets will definitely go far this season.

the thread should end here, that's really all that needs to be said.

Well sh**....Those were some tough calls on Yao, but it's what we saw from Tracy tonight that worried me. I'm getting an uneasy 05-06 chronic feel for his knee issues. If this is going to be a season long thing, then forget about any kind of good post season run.

Yao is the man!

NBA --- where games decided by refs always happened.

1individual said:

1. Refs don't want a loss at Cav's home, takes out Yao.
2. T-Mac didn't come to play... exhausted, probably because of the 4 games in 5 nights agenda.
3. Battier didn't do much to stop those shooters.

If Yao was in the game the whole time, the ending would have been different.

People need to stop making excuses for Battier. Nobody is making excuses for T-Mac and Ron when they play bad even though they're injured too. If Battier is ailing he should sit and the same goes for anybody else. No more excuses.

Rafer plays one of this best games of the year and Rick keeps him out most of the 4th qt.

I can't wait to see all you haters hop on T-Mac's shlong when he's back.

We would have won this game if the refs didn't screw us over. Good thing about this game is that when Yao turns the switch on, he's unstoppable. Remember this is also our 4th game in 5 nights! I think Cleveland had 2 nights off until they played us. Most of you guys even said we would go 3-1 on this 4 game stretch. ROCKETS WILL BE FINE! We may have lost, but I am still excited to close out December 12-3.

Its hard to hop on his shlong when there's nothing there but a stank gina.

Early in the game, there is no question the refs are biased because some of the call against Yao should have just let go because of incidental contact. The crowd seem to have an affect on them. Another issue i have is Tmac...dude is playing like lazy man...is he really healthy man?? If he's fine physically, then he should be ashamed of himself because he didn't show any desire of wanting to win ...didn't have any desire to fight ...didn't even attack the basket when he's wide open...didn't play defense...i mean what the hell?? Everybody play alright...Rafer is pretty good. This game is winnable if for 3 things:

1. Refs aren't so biased
2. Therefore, Yao shouldn't be sitting
3. Tmac shouldn't be lazy. (If you compare Tmac to Lebron, you get the idea).

p.s....yao showed me why he's still my favorite player. he's returning to dominant form, as he showed in the 4th.

If TMac were fully healthy or if Yao were allowed to play the first three quarters the outcome of the game would be very different.

FULLY Healthy? WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SMOKING? He will never be FULLY healthy. This guy is WAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH UPPPPPPP. I said that about him last year, at least last year he looked more mobile. He just looks lazy and beat up this year. Why even play if you are injured? you are clearly not playing up to your level. Stop making the fans watch this sh****T

I want to have a re-match against the Cavs. This time I want the refs to let them play.

Also, I don't want the Rockets or Cavs to be playing on a back to back
