Realistically, didn't we get paid back from last year?

    I'm talking about when we played @ Orlando. I forgot the exact situation, but one of the Magic players tipped it in with .1 on the clock and you could CLEARLY see it via the slowmotion replay...which is the same replays the Refs reviewed it in and waived the basket OFF to give us the win. That should've been a LOSS IMO, and it kind of feels like an even score now that the whole timeclock-management issue happened in tonights game.

    Agree? Disagree? Explain.

    HELL NO. THEY TOOK 5 MINUTES TO REVIEW THAT ONE.

    THAT IS BS. THEY WANTED TO GIVE HIM THE PLAY BUT THERE WAS NO WAY HE MADE IT IN TIME.

    Go watch the game again before you start talking about how officials helped the Rockets, when they clearly didn't.

    Last year's game was called correctly, as was tonight's. Whether the clock operators were accurate is entirely different.

    Though I agree that we should have lost last year, that was a "too-close-to-call" ergh...call.

    While this loss on the other hand was helped by the time-lag that happened during the play. I mean realistically speaking, you can't do a turn-around jumpshot in just 0.8 seconds. On another board some even claim that the clock was still at 0.8 when Roy got the shot off. but whatever, we deserved to lose anyway for having an abysmal rebounding night and awful defense on Aldridge during the first half.

    I guess this is your way of trying to find ways to cope with the loss... I tried justifying this in my head as well. But then again - it is what it is.

    It' s different.

    Roy made a great long-range shot.

    The hard part to take is that he was WIDE open due to a Defensive lapse/error; that is the part that galls, cause if the Defense had held on for less than a second, it would have been a great road victory; instead, it's a heartwrenching loss.

    Just gotta learn from it.
