    Francis gets a breakaway dunk, doesn't taunt, doesn't slap the backboard, doesn't appear to do one damn thing... but he gets a T (his 2nd) and is ejected. Does the NBA have emails for the front office personnell? We need to all sign a petition to have these three jokers seriously reprimanded. A COMPLETE JOKE. It's sad this is what the NBA is turning into.

    This is the worst thing I have ever seen. That is unbelievable. The Rockets should file a MAJOR protest over this sh*t. That is just such crap!

    ZRB... damn right. Anybody here know an email for the NBA front office? As thousands of fans we really should start a petition to do something with these officials... this is the biggest pile of garbage I have ever seen in my life.

    The only way to make up for this absolute INJUSTICE will be for us to come back and win this game.

    You would think these refs are apart of the Kings organization.

    I just can't watch right now. The Rockets are playing 5 on 8. It's just horrible. I usually never harp on officiating, but my God the officiating in this game sucks to high heaven.

    I've seen plenty of bad officiating before. Quite a bit this season, but this is by far the worst call I have ever seen in my entire life.
    Right now, I am ashamed I have ever given money to support the NBA. No wonder the NBA is collapsing in popularity. What a joke. I don't blame the Rockets for this loss, because this truly was 5 on 8.
    Funny, just after Francis was ejected, the Sacramento announcers started harping about how the KINGS have been getting bad calls. Rediculous, and sickening.

    <h1>WORST CALL I'VE EVER SEEN</h1>

    I'm just so MAD RITE NOW. we were robbed of this game... we were making a strong run with all the momentum and seeing as how we've been beatin everybody while coming from behind I was confident we could do the same here.

    WORST CALL EVER. Who was that STUPID REF?

    What makes it so sad is that the Kings are now scoring at will. Since they're the "team of the future", the NBA has obviously given them carte blanche to do as they please at home. The way Divac holds and sets illegal picks is pathetic. The whole thing makes me sick. I really wanted a win, like all of you. Down 11 with 2 min. left. That sucks. Thanks, Stern. Enjoy your best home record, Kings, because it will be all you have to show in June.

    IF the damn refs would have retracted the 2nd T after discussing it, and then just let them play ball, anything could have happened. But I bet we would be discussing some other b.s. call right now that would have lost us the game anyway. It really is a conspiracy, and the NBA doesnt care. Stern probably feels like everyone will be better off if SacofNuts-town wins this game and the next 29. What a bunch of crap.

    I dont love this game.
