    it's hard to buy the 'rockets were robbed' theory when they:

    A. turned the ball over 12 more times than the suns

    B. shot a miserable 64% from the free throw line

    C. blew a 15 point second half lead

    I don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but when compared, the Rockets have always been at the top of the league in number of free throws.

    And BTW, that was clearly a foul, and Barkley's postgame comments were out of line.

    What makes you think these are Mutually Exclusive

    I bet I can make you turn the ball over 20 times If I get to Push, Shove, Grab on you with no Calls.

    I can make you blow a Lead by Calling Cheap Fouls and Calling things one way.

    I'm not saying this happened but Those Stats cannot be used to say that the Refs were ok.

    [Even Free throws , which are mental . . ask shaq, can be affect by frustration at not getting calls or feeling the Refs are against you]
