Portland still has 3 more fouls than Houston.
Whatever happened to Battier and Artest canceling Roy out?
If the refs were so aware of this then why would Portland's only 3 post players have 5 fouls each with 4 minutes left against a team thathas Yao Ming?Originally Posted by blackxme
Well Portland fans were angry about the officiating in game 1 and now I know all us rockets fans are going to be pissed because of game 2. I think the refs
were well aware of the game 1 officiating and probably felt pressure to make sure Portland got the benefit of the doubt on the close calls, which is usually the case
for home teams. All in all, we didn't shoot our free throws well and we let BRoy and Alridge kill us, it seems like those are the only two that showed up for the Blazers.
Anyway, see you in Houston...
Those first two didn't count. He's doing it big this yearOriginally Posted by ao17

Oh you mean like the Blakes "technical foul"? Or the foul that put Oden on the bench where Kyle Lowry was out of control and then shouldered him in the gut? Both of those were maybe the wprst I had seen all season, seriously.
I can't fathom why anyone that isn't a Houston fan would think this game wasn't called fairly. I can't even fathom why any Houston would think that way but i'm guessing it's due to being influenced by crybabies like Scola throwing a euro-fit when he clearly commited a foul.
He played there forever.Originally Posted by gescobe

lol Blazers only won by 4 and all it took was Roy scoring 41 pts and LA playing his **# off.
Houston still got this, gotta make our free throws though.

can't really call a fair game in the nba but we all know there are homecourt advantage calls. technical fouls are pretty subjective. blakeisn't a very vocal player so hearing him react to being called a slow mo after brooks blew past him warranted a T. lol. and oden... come on now. heaverages a lot of fouls for a reason. perfect example of some consistency in foul calling for you. haha.Originally Posted by Exile On Ivy St

yao gotta find a way to dominate against any defense if he wants to carry a team. he's continually made useless whenever a team focuses totaking him out of a game.Originally Posted by franchise3
Bottomline, the refs were blowing their whistles all night long, both ways. From the start of the game.
With that said, the Blazers did a better than I thought they would job on Yao this game. They threw the kitchen sink at dude. Different lineups, different looks, zones, fronts, doubles, everything. Fortunately for the Rockets, everybody stepped it up to pick up the slack.
On the flipside Roy had a monster game. Dude was driving, hitting fadeaways, dagger 3's. Nickname should be The Closer. LA had a monster game as well after being a no show game 1.
All that, and the Rockets were still within striking distance.
For the Rockets, had they made their FT's and executed better, this game could have been there's. If that's what it takes for the Blazers to win, monster games by two players, then we like our chances.
Rick needs to find a solution so Yao can get more looks, and stop putting Ron on Roy. Battier does a better job defending the dude.
Unless Portland can correct their road woes against .500+ teams overnight, I don't really think the Blazers are gonna win in Houston. I think the Rockets will run away with in Game 3. A decisive victory.
