Why does the leauge and everyone else hate Houston??

Most peeps outside of Texas hate us.

 

they wish they had mac and ming

 

too many useless threads!! come on people!

 

Being a Houstonian and having lived in the SF Bay Area, Boston, Singapore and Minnesota I know that Houston gets a lot of crap.

I also agree with you that Houston sports teams have often gotten screwed by refs and disrespected by the media!

BUT I'm frankly getting sick of what I can only call loser talk.

I'm pissed as hell at the refs but in the pit of my stomach I'm pissed too that the ROx in the last three games have had several chances to win and haven't done it. Yes because the refs have screwed us but in games 3 and 4 we had the chance to bury the Mavs and not make the refs a factor and in this game if we just hit free throws, defend the outside shot and rebound we win even with the bad calls.

I'm a competitor and a coach and I've experienced some truly horrendous calls and have had horrendous calls made against my players. What I tell them is "yeah the refs blew it big time and I'm going to complain to them but you gotta play good enough so the refs can't decide the game for you."

 

They hate us because they are jealous that we have both T-mac and Yao and JVG.

 

psst, no ones jealous of us having JVG.

atleast i would hope not.

 

Of course it does but beyatchin about it isn't going to change things. We still got another game and if the Rox can make a few changes they could BLOW OUT THE MAVS to the point the refs couldn't change the game except through fraud so blatantly it would brind down the NBA.

 

JVG is a great coach! There's no one I'd rather have right now

 

I think they hate us all the same as other non NY or LA city.

If that makes any sense.

 

JVG is an average coach.

He changed his whole offensive coaching style, and thats what makes him a good coach right now. But saying he's great, ill let that one be deicided later.

Anyways, thats an argument for other threads at other times.

 

Cause you all masturbate too much.

Enough with these whiney threads. Stop acting like pathetic woe-is-me hayseeds.

The fact remains that we could have won any of the last three games had the Rox executed down the stretch but they did not. That is life.

 

The fact also remains that they executed well enough down the stretch to come back and win game 5 if even ONE of the calls down the stretch which cost us two points went our way. (If it's a one point game instead of three, Tmac can just jam the missed free throw back in and the game is over -- or make it and send it to overtime.)

Dallas has a talented basketball team (even if what little respect I once had for their German "superstar" has completely disappeared in the last week). We would have a hard enough time beating them 5-on-5. We STILL have a chance of beating them 5-on-8, but it isn't going to be easy. And it shouldn't have to be that way.

And you can't honestly tell me that the Finley out-of-bounds strip wasn't one of the worst calls you've seen in the entire 3-referee era! With three referees, one of them has an assigned job of watching the baseline. NOBODY who was actually watching the baseline could have possibly thought he was in bounds.

 

EXACTLY! I bet Dallas fans think we're a bunch of cry babies right now.

 

No, they are too busy being jealous of cwebbster's right hand.

 

They hate us because oil companies in Houston are benefiting from the high Gas price.
