    It's fact that you are not on Rox side about the last call. That's it. Patch it up as much as you could.

    That is hilarious. He didn't think the refs helped him enough, did he?

    And by your infinite wisdom, then I shouldn't be a Rockets fan for that. Wow, you are a genius. :rolleyes:

    i dont know. That play was as close as it gets! I can see how the call was made, i.e. no good. But then again, was really happened? the angle isnt that good and the picture is grainy. It doesnt get any closer.

    given what we see from the video we have, its no good. Even if it was really good, F-em...more horrible calls, rockets were due

    I just quit. You are a great rox fan who takes the magics side on the last call.

    When did the YOF "jump the shark" for you guys? For me it was early 2003.

    Wait, I thought you changed the name of this BBS to YaoFans in 2003?

    Every way I look at it, it seems his fingertips are still on the ball, when I freeze it a 0.00 that's what it looks like, but that's my opinion. I'd have to say it was a good call by the referees, which was long overdue after that God-awful call on Yao when Dwight RAN into him.

    i think it looks like foyle's fingers are touching the ball at zero but no one can absolutely say for certain because the zoom isn't close enough.

    for those saying the magic clearly got robbed or it was obviously good, what photos are you looking at? all the photo evidence in this thread points to it probably being a good call by the refs.

    either way for their continued butchering of yao ming we deserve this one.

    lmao by that logic let every player call their own fouls, hes really bad at arguing this coment makes him look stupid. if youre going to argue for something, let it be reasonable thats the number one rule

    Srsly? I thought the inside of the hand is supposed to be bare?

    Anyway, you win some, you lose some. Everytime I see the Rox win by a controversial decision, I remember Michael Finley's out-of-play-area hack on Jon Barry during the 04-05 play-offs that cost us Game 5. Remember the hate, fellas.

    Breaking news...

    I was at the game. Word is that Foyle was aggressively picking his nose during the last timeout.

    Unbeknownst to him, there was a massive booger on his index finger when play resumed.

    That booger stuck to the ball just long enough for the clock to expire.

    The headline of the Orlando Sentinel reads the following:

    "Thanks to Foyle, and his booger, the Rockets won by the stickiest of margins."

    Nah, they're not eating.

    They are picking their noses, too.

    Way to make things interesting Adonal. I was expecting something more like this

    Here's what Foyle had to say:

    "I thought it was good because I tapped it, and as I was coming down I saw the light through the basket, and I thought I had a good chance of getting (the call)," said Foyle, who had four points and five rebounds. "But the official's call is the final call."

    That just doesn't sound real confident to me. "I thought I had a good chance"? "But he official's call is the final call"? How about "I was robbed"? It sounds to me like he's got doubts himself, at the very least.

    Well as these 3 blind mice for once in this whole game regained their conscience and eye-sight, and said it's no good after reviewing the instant replay frame by frame, then it is NO GOOD. I'll take this kind of win any day any night without the slightest sense of guilt. PERIOD. :D
