for say the Jazz are so VASTLY SUPERIOR And MORE TALENTED We are TWO FRICKING CALLS AWAY FROM BEING *UP* 3-1 Rocket River
agreed Hillboy.. I find myself going crazy cursing at the officials and wondering how on earth could they make such a call, but then I think of the treatment Hakeem got from the officials, and how we were able to win 2 back2back championships despite a clearly unfair officiating .. Dream got hammered, on every play, and rarely would a foul be called.. it takes heart, it takes desire, it takes focus.. it takes practice..
Which is reason for Jazz getting so many calls. I honestly do believe this is true, it may not be fully racist, but white players DEF. get more calls.
NBA officials just suck all they way around..... i mean you have refs making calls from one end of the floor when the one in front of the play with the best view doesn't even blow the whistle.
If the call the game right and don't fall for all the flopping, they are as good as the Golden State Warriors. Their big advantage are having a personal that can be dirty and be good at flopping at the same time, and running the same dirty tactics that Sloan have mastered during his 20 years. His ability to manipulate the system, knowing that he push the the envelope, he will force the game to be call his way, where his team can excel. Is like in a game if you control the pace that fits your team you going to win most time, Sloan control the way the game is being call right to fits his team strength.
It looks like refs will face lakers in next round. And both Rockets & Jazz will be off in next several days.
That last foul on Okur to seal the win was absolutely not a foul, although the worst call was when Boozer and Scola scrambled for the loose ball and Scola got a foul
Deron drove ion the lane and barly got tapped...FOUL!.. Tmac drove got pushed by harpring in mid air...No call
The worst call of the game is the Offensive Foul call on Hayes: Harpring Hooked him and fell down and its called a foul on us. Hayes was not moving at all. It Stopped a made jumper by T-Mac. Battier Forcing Korver out of bounds. Scola wrestling and out hustling Okur and boozer for the board, and they call an offensive foul on us. just bad game all around from the refs, But we still have to hit our free throws and its hard to win against any team when you miss 15 out of16 shots 2nd -3rd qtr.
yeah "IF" and what IF reshard lewis would have turned down the offer from Orlando to come and play ior his hometown...yeah what IF the 84 rockets traded away Ralph sampson for the bulls 1st round pick
i don't blame the refs but the no calls when landry is going up for a dunk were silly. it happened twice. the first one rick carlisle decided, after seeing boozer get all wrist on the block shot attempt , was a clean block. ridiculousness.
anyone want to complain about the non-call on Carl Landry's offensive goaltending? didn't think so....blaming the refs for every game is weak.
Did you see the cheerleaders at the end of the game!? They were performing while wearing ref outfits with those zebra stripes! The Jazz pay the refs!! In all seriousness, the refs have been pretty bad on both teams but more on the Rockets.
