    The short clip during the game showing CP3’s brother being escorted out of the game was strange. ESPIN has a story on it, CP3’s brother knew the ref (Williams) from college. Some bad blood there and makes you wonder if this caused some calls against CP3 throughout the game. NBA needs to look into this.

    Hey it's not like they called a tech on CP3 with like 20 secs to go.... oh wait

    Oh well he probably deserved it. Was he smiling and clapping?

    The NBA really can't allow him to ref another Rocket's game. These refs wield way too much influence to be involved in feuds with players.

    Tony Brothers hates the Rockets also. Rockets really should file a report on referee James Williams.

    Was that the "fan" they were talking abt being escorted out that touched CP elbow on the way out? It was a black guy and I was like wow, they're kicking out the only minority fans in Utah.

    I bet CP wanted to get a tech at the end of the game, once the W was secured, to emphasize this point.

    Incredibly frustrating to watch the refs reward the j*zz for flopping over and over during that game... smh

    Hopefully it gets better for game 5, but I'm not holding my breath

    Watch the video in the article. It has the call from the announcers. However, they described it wrong. They thought the guy being escorted out was arguing with CP. What happened was CP saw his brother being escorted out and intervened on his brother's behalf.

    They were about to eject Olajuwon too for smiling too much until he stood up as they approached him.

    Utah knows all about Dream, didn't want any part of that mess. :D

    Probably there will be a time when the crowd chants "Ref, you suck!" and then the ref has the power to eject the whole crowd lol
