Complete BS call by the refs with 2.3 secs left in regulation. Glad Sengun bounced back big time from his last bad game vs Jokic though.
Didnt even mention hardaway 2 hand pushing sengun in the back on a offense rebound
Please also mention the 4-5 clear fouls committed against Alperen during regular time that were ignored . The Refs clearly ruined the game.
These refs definitely hasn’t STOPPED betting on games through their Bovado Fan Duel Underdog etc😳
It wasn’t 1 call, it was about 10 calls that were either total BS or very questionable. I counted 14 points they shouldn’t have had.
The steal by Thompson at the end of OT that Murray picked up past the half court so it should have been a back court,,,,,, BUTTT NOOOO!!!! The refs bill him out with a foul calls gave dumpster when it was clear there was zero contact. So instead of playing for the end down by 1 they’re playing for the tie and down by 3 and forced to take a 3!!!!
What’s worst is if you watch the final play Durant was locked up by a hold which is a foul. Worst than that was Hardaway had Sheppard locked up with holding both of his arms,,,,, how the fuck was that not an off the ball foul?!?!
Couple that with the fact that they got to shoot free throws for minimal contact that isn’t ever called a foul yet Houston was actually getting bodied in plays and couldn’t get a call.
If you were watching the game you saw the same thing all night, the rockets would start to make a run and by in the verge of taking control then the refs would stop the momentum with BS calls and changes the direction yet again!!!
That was total BS but the host is 100% incorrect!!! This should not be referred to congress for hearing along with other officiating from other sports to investigate league corruption!!!
Call for a congressional investigation today and let’s stop this BS!!!
The refs for the entire year as a whole need to be investigated! This league is horrid. It’s ran so poorly
The refs and the NBA stole a win from the Rockets. One of the worst officiated games I’ve ever seen. The foul call on the inbound where the dude tripped himself is completely inexcusable. And then to not overturn the call on replay only supports the idea that games are rigged.
On a back to back game and we see Denver sat again
I think rockets are going after giannis
It’s crazy how layers are always it on the line against the rockets I mean jokic was on the line constantly like every whistle
There is a clear video that shows a knee trip, and are you making these kinds of videos? Shame on you.
I get the Rockets could have done many things better. But the Rockets can't stop the game, replay what they did, and correct it. The officials can. The play was challenged, it was obviously not a foul, but the officials decided their egos and their feelings were more important than doing their job correctly. Adam Silver has been a disastrous commissioner because terrible officiating is the single biggest issue plaguing the league and instead of addressing it like an adult, he has done nothing but defend it and double down like a child. It is very difficult to maintain faith in the association when this behavior is acceptable.
The question is what can the NBA fans do about this? Should we boycott the games and start protesting against the officials?
That was a bs call to be honest
About the second game in three days I seen where it look like the refs impacted the game
I watched the game last night and I wholeheartedly believe that the Rockets should have and would have won without that bogus call on Amen in the last seconds of the 4th. SMH
Sengun can’t shoot that last 3
Yes, the refs are ridiculous and there IS a lot of favoritism and usually it goes against my team (greetings from Nuggets Nation 🙋🏽♀️) but we learned a long time ago that, in order to win it all, you’re gonna have to win the 5 vs 8 games sometimes, especially when the playoffs come.
I get the frustration fasho but yall had sooooooo many opportunities and advantages in OT to take the W.
I have big admiration for your team but ngl it was really weak sauce for Ime and the team to focus on whining about officiating when they had so many great advantages to win. Next game the refs may be in your corner and the Nuggs will have to overcome it. It’s the nature of the league, if you dont have the golden whistle that the Lakers, SGA, and Embiid have. If you plan on becoming champs, dealing with injuries and the crooked court cops is just part of the game.
Anyway, salute to Houston — a dope city, team, and fanbase. We’ll see yall Saturday and may the best team win 🤝
Adam Silver & the NBA are obviously working in conjuction with San Antonio & OKC. 🤷🏻💯🤣
NBA is RIGGED
I watched that crap they cheated so bad this makes no sense
00:09 You say this with a straight face after the latest Lakers game a couple of games ago? Now that was a travesty.
they forsure need to investigate these refs, could be sports betting
It sucks that the refs made a huge mistake that cost us the Rockets this big-time matchup game, but we've got to move on to the Pelicans on Thursday, and then return to Denver for another big West showdown, and continue getting better on this road trip that also has Houston facing off against the Lakers for yet another West Showdown on Christmas. The game was still fantastic, but, unfortunately, the refs are gonna make mistakes. It just sucks that it happened in a matchup of this caliber, and we were the ones who got burned by it.
yes because they know KD's better thin LBJ so they have 2 do everything they can 2 screw him over just like the Thunder Heat series
A bit dramatic, don't you think? Are you a parrot, because you are repeating everything Ime is crying about. As for that foul? The ball hadn't been inbounded yet, the aerial view shows Thompson making contact with the back of THJ's heel, accidental or not, therefore it is a technical foul. Like it or not, those are the NBA rules. Was Denver not supposed to get that call? You complain about officiating, but then when they actually call a true foul, we are whining about it? Stop being so weak! Also, Denver had 28 fouls called against them and Houston had 25. Joker didn't see any free throws until the fourth quarter, and was fouled out despite the fact that it was reviewed and Murray had fouled first. You think Denver didn't get any missed calls? It happened on both ends of the floor. Stop complaining, it just makes you look like poor sports.
How does Steven Adams not get one rebound the entire game…
