    This thread is baffling. Sure, the Jazz have more talent, but do you really think they outplayed the Rockets tonight? Do you really think to fadeaways and prayers by Okur, Brewer, and Korver at the ends of quarters were what makes the Jazz a better team?

    This reminds me of the 1996 Rockets-Sonics series, when Houston played well enough to win in three of the four games but simply had EVERYTHING going against them. Refs, outside shooting, bounces off the rims.

    It's just one of those series, but to start a completely new thread crying to the masses that the refs were fine and the Jazz are "just the better team" makes no sense.

    BINGO. If the Rockets rookies were as good as this one...

    mac, you're one of my favorite posters here, but I got to disagree with you on this one.

    The thing that pisses me off the most about the play is that this is the exact type of thing the Jazz have gotten away with for 20 years. But somebody does it back to them, and they just flop like b****es and get the call.

    I don't think I need to remind anyone here (except you) about the Malone bearhug on Drexler in 1997.

    fair enough, i really don't think the refs had as much impact on this game as a lot of folks think.
