1)That was flop, it was also a good acting job. Refs have been calling that for the last 20 years.Originally Posted by N O R E A G A
Shut the hell up Exile.
What about that OBVIOUS flop from Pryzbilla? Oden wrapping Yao and then literally SHOVING him and no technical? That fadeaway by Roy when he fell and Battier did not touch him? That last foul called on Lowry? Dude look at the replays and see that your %%$%%%@ biased opinion is full of *#%$. Portland got SEVERAL calls in favor of them.
2)You really thought that should have been a technical on top of Blake's? As it stands that's a "hey let's break it up" situation, butyes, I would agree with you that since they already set the precedent with Blake's bull**** tech they may as well called that one too.
3) That wasn't a foul on Battier. That doesn't also mean that Roy wasn't getting bodied numerous times when he hit the paint earlier in the gamewith no foul, and on TWO of those occasions it should have been Yao.
4) You're really gonna complain about the foul on Lowry with 2 seconds left?
But all of that's irrevelent because I don't think you get the point I'm driving at here. I never said Portland didn't get a lot of calls infavor of them, but that also doesn't mean Houston didn't get dealt the exact same hand. It wasn't a well officiated game, but neither team had adistinct advantage.
I wouldn't have said a god dam thing if I hadn't read numerous people in here questioning whether the refs had rigged the game in favor of Portland,but there did happen to be a lot of criticism coming from the Houston side of this so I felt a need to point out some flaws in their argument.
Portland's 3 post players had 5 fouls each with 4 minutes left(one of them fouled out) and before Houston HAD to start fouling Portland had commited MOREfouls and shot LESS free throws than Houston. How f***ing ridiculous is it that so many of you are GENUINELY so livid that you're ready to throw a tantrum?How does that make ANY sense? Yeah. The refs decided they were gonna favor Portland in this game and they were gonna do so by trying to foul out Portland'sonly viable options against Yao. Geez, that really makes a lot of sense, doesn't it.
Think about that for a sec.
