    Rolo's foul out was bogus too, so it balances out.

    Yep. Both sides. There were some calls that were going FOR us that I was like "Umm... there was nothing, but okay" and then that second half was just atrocious. That 6th foul on Lopez in OT was the worst one I can remember in a long, long time given all the circumstances.

    The fact that we can name multiple plays clearly is not a good sign. :lol:

    Or the countless times the officials allow the beard to lower his shoulder on the defender.

    They shot more FTA in OT.

    They fouled out our starting front court.

    Not sure how they can say it was in our favor.

    In OT, Dwight Howard, Grabs Joel freeland on a FT rebound, pulls him down, goes up and misses the layup with no one touching him and goes to the FT line.

    This. He blatantly fishes for FTs. It's sickening.

    That last play was AWESOME. Harden getting trapped because of good defense from Batum and Freeland. Nothing he could do except put up a desperation shot. No opportunity to flop himself to the foul line and they lose.

    And the tech on Robin after Howard blatantly hits him across the chest.

    And the flagrant on Mo

    And the non-goaltending call on Howard

    That's four points down the stretch, could have been five if Beverly hit both FT's on the flagrant.

    I rewound that play and watched it twice. Joel should play a lot more next game. He was positioned perfectly to seal off harden and prevent Asik from getting a pass. Batum stayed on him we'll too. Harden looked so confused!

    Did the bad calls really even out? I don't think so, it was still really lop-sided in Houston's favor.

    Exactly. I guarantee he wasn't even looking to get a clean shot off, initially -- he just wanted a sucker to flail into, and couldn't find one.

    Live by the flop, die by the flop.

    WTH??? THEY WON???? Yes!

    I'm dead serious. The recording went off in the last 40 secs when Blazers failed to get the rebound against Howard and sent it to the free throw line?

    How did they do it. Anyone have footage???

    Joel Freeland and Damian Lillard saved us!

    Unbelievable! Wow, wow, wow!

    Coach Stotts is a hell of a coach. He coached a hell of a game. Despite a very sub par effort by the bench.

    I just want to watch Harden on that last possession trying to get a foul call and fail on an endless loop. This sums up his whole season. He is nothing without the refs giving him the calls he wants.

    He tries twice to get a call by jumping into his opponent before taking a bad shot and missing. You can't expect much from a guy who has a beard only because he does not know how to shave.
