    Here's the problem.

    The Blazers had 39 FTA for the game.

    Houston had 40 FTA for the HALF.

    Houston's Patrick Beverley will likely play in Game 2 on Wednesday, league source tells Yahoo. Met with team doctor this morning.

    And the Blazers fouled Howard for 17 of those.

    Not intentionally. We only intentionally fouled him like 3 or 4 times. At least half those fouls were bullshit.

    I see. Only the fouls called on the Blazers weren't?

    Yep.

    Blazers came out aggressive. The Rockets got the benefit of all the calls in the first half, managing to get to the FT line how many times? Rockets regrouped at half time and were super aggressive in the 2nd half.

    The refs weren't anywhere near as bad as posters were saying in the game thread. It was a game of runs by both teams. The Blazers were just bad when the starters weren't out there, and Houston took advantage.

    If the refs were calling it in favor of the Rockets, there'd have been no OT, nor a close game. They wouldn't have blown the call that was Howard's 6th, either.

    Their bench outscored the Blazers by 14. The refs couldn't cheat to make Parsons hit all the shots he did.

    LMA and Lillard both shot over 10 FTA.

    Blazers won. Playoff basketball.

    Exactly right. That's why I think it was a busted play by Houston. Harden didn't know what to do. I think the play was a drive by Harden to draw the foul or kick to Parsons. Harden drove, stopped because of Freeland and then got trapped.

    No shit calls aren't just calls to the line. Goaltend, travels, overlooking offensive fouls, etc. 4:1

    Did you count them all to come up with 4:1? The objective data says 1:1.

    What I think is being missed is that the Blazers needed a win in Houston and got it. If home court advantage is real, the Blazers should have a much easier job beating them at Moda.
