    The NBA wanted them to win so bad in game one.

    The universe tends to unfold as it should. :devilwink:

    This makes up for the 6-step travel that resulted in FT for Dwight late in the third.

    No no, didn't you know, the refs were only out to get the Rockets, and that one foul was the only one that mattered.

    didn't they call foul though? If you want to argue it was more than a foul, I would listen to that.

    Or the hit on robins stomach after a call had been made

    That's because we sent Howard to the line over and over on purpose.

    Checkmate.

    Over and over? You mean maybe 4 times?

    Dwight was sent to the line for 6-8 FT's during the Hack-A-Ho sesh.

    Portland was far more aggressive most of the game - we should have had more attempts than Houston.

    Most people aren't complaining about the officiating at this point - we're just incredulous at the stupidity/ignorance of Rocket fans. The officiating was terrible both ways.

    Mo's flagrant that, one, wasn't a flagrant? That one that happened because Lillard was mugged and run over so Houston ended up with the ball on the break?

    8 total freethrows. Take those away, they shot 32 FTs. We shot 39.

    Kings sent Shaq to line on purpose like 20 times in Game 6 and then bitched that Lakers shot more FTs. Doesn't make sense.

    Incorrect logic.

    People are pointing out several specific bad calls or non-calls.

    Your using "logic" that says Portland got more calls so the refs were more in their favor. It's weak and it's wrong. Same applies in your example of the Kings-Lakers game.

    32 FTA for the half.

    How many did we shoot that half?

    ZBo should be at the line shooting free throws.

    I think they might have called that one a foul on Robin, but can't remember

    I'm still baffled at why the NBA would try and delegitimize two of their own playoff games. It makes no sense to me. Relatedly, did Howard ever get fined/technical for elbowing Lopez? Should have been a tech, and the refs missed it, too.
