Is the NBA paying the refs off in the Port vs Hous series

[tlongII]

This shit is unbelievable. They must have a mandate to get Houston into the 2nd round.

[DAF86]

Lol

[tlongII]

But for all you cock sucking Rockets fans I got one thing to say...

It ain't over yet.

[dirk4mvp]

Your team has found every way possible to choke.

[ElNono]

:lmao

LOL tdouche

[j-money24]

Stop making excuses, man up bitch.

[dirk4mvp]

Mavs and their fans stay on my mind.


I know.

[Ghazi]

Shut the fuck up lakaluva and tlongII

[sook]

is this guy serious? Roy took the most FTs out of anyone the entire game.

I ll give you the benefit of the doubt since you haven't seen the playoffs in such a long time.

[ElNono]

LOL Oden... :lmao

[Lars]

Gonna need some specific examples, cause shit looked pretty even to me, unlike game 2.

[sook]

I know...they had a 6 point lead, if not for battier's 3s we would have lost. So how does the reffing effect the outcome of the game? Didn't he say the same shit after the 30 pt blowout?

[timvp]

Losing to the Rockets in the first round is about as low as it gets in the basketball world. At least the Mavs were a few whistles away from losing to the Heat in 7.

[tlongII]

The Blazers have been called for 52 fouls in the games in Houston and the Rockets have been called for 34. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

[Artest_Is_Fearless]

Losing to the Rockets in the first round is about as low as it gets in the basketball world. At least the Mavs were a few whistles away from losing to the Heat in 7.

Is it as bad as loosing to the Mavs in game 5?

[Lars]

Your irrational hatred for the Rockets is amusing.

[tlongII]

How are the Spurs doing?

[coldsweat]

The Blazers have been called for 52 fouls in the games in Houston and the Rockets have been called for 34. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

yeah, chucking up jump shots will result in that.

[Lars]

The Blazers have been called for 52 fouls in the games in Houston and the Rockets have been called for 34. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

When you stand on the perimeter and shoot jump shots all day long, you aren't going to get calls. Roy was the only one attacking and thus the only one getting calls. This isn't fucking rocket science.

[DAF86]

Lol at Rockets fans' hurt feelings.

[timvp]

Is it as bad as loosing to the Mavs in game 5?

No. Loosing was expected.

[Ghazi]

There's no shame at all in losing to the 2006 NBA Champions.

[timvp]

Your irrational hatred for the Rockets is amusing.I don't hate the Rockets. I wanted the Spurs to play the Rockets.

[robbie380]

The Blazers have been called for 52 fouls in the games in Houston and the Rockets have been called for 34. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

maybe if your dumb team learned how to play defense without fouling and mugging yao then yall wouldn't be called for so many fouls. hey nice play call by nate...OUTLAW FOR THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[TheProfessor]

The only one I see getting hosed out there is Yao.

[sook]

No. Loosing was expected.

well at least you know you can't win a series with only 2 players scoring...

[tlongII]

We haven't lost yet. If the refs somehow give us a fair shake we will still take this series.

[The Franchise]

The Blazers have been called for 52 fouls in the games in Houston and the Rockets have been called for 34. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Had this series been called fairly we would already be in the second round so shut your ass. You bitches should have been called for about twenty more. You soft motherfuckers can't play defense without fouling.

[ElNono]

Why does Oden doesn't play in the crunch, considering he's the second coming of Kareem and what not?

[timvp]

How are the Spurs doing?

lol greg "grandpa" oden

lol nicolas "1.7 points per game in the last month" batum

lol rockets

lol pre-series celebration

lol backdoor sweep

lol no mcgrady

lol przybilla better than oden

lol ex-supersonics fans

lol blown out in playoff opener

lol steve blake's three-pointer

lol trevor ariza

[Double-Up]

Your team has found every way possible to choke.

Enough said.

[crc21209]

From what I saw, the refs did favor the Rockets...and I dont favor either team, just telling it like it is.

[tlongII]

The league obviously doesn't want us to play the Lakers. They know the Rockets will go down in 4 or 5 games to them. Unbeavable.

[Double-Up]

I don't hate the Rockets. I wanted the Spurs to play the Rockets.

Really? I couldn't tell...

[ElNono]

What's worse, losing to the Rockets in the first round or being called a choker by a Mavs fan?

[The Franchise]

lol rockets


Stop taking shots at us because your team is getting pissed on.

[Artest93]

Portland would have won if big chuck hayes did not take that charge

lol Spurs ever sniffing the Finals for the next 20 years.

[Double-Up]

We haven't lost yet. If the refs somehow give us a fair shake we will still take this series.

The only thing you're gonna take is it up the ass once the Rockets take their cock out of your mouth...where have I heard that before? :lol

[turiaf for president]

everyone knew portland wasnt good and experienced enough to do shit in the playoffs.

[turiaf for president]

lol Spurs ever sniffing the Finals for the next 20 years.

speaking from experience? its been about 20 years since the jail blazers made it there

[TheProfessor]

lol Spurs ever sniffing the Finals for the next 20 years.
Careful there. If Oden busts, you guys might be peaking right now.

[The Franchise]

What's worse, losing to the Rockets in the first round or being called a choker by a Mavs fan?

Why can't you Spurs fans stop hating on others and take your first round exit like men. :lol

[sook]

still don't understand all the hate from spurs fans.

[ElNono]

Careful there. If Oden busts, you guys might be peaking right now.

I didn't know this was still a question... :lol

[DAF86]

still don't understand all the hate from spurs fans.

[TheProfessor]

:lol Really? I would think it's pretty obvious. We made fun of the Mavs and Rockets all season, only to be exposed in the first round without Manu while watching our nemeses move on.

[The Franchise]

still don't understand all the hate from spurs fans.

They are so used to success they don't know how to cope with failure, so they target others.

[ElNono]

Why can't you Spurs fans stop hating on others and take your first round exit like men. :lol

Come on, we're like 3 days away from not being able to use the 'Rockets can't get out of the first round' schtick anymore. Would you just let us enjoy the last few days? :lol

[iggypop123]

its not the refs. its just blake choking

[Lars]

From what I saw, the refs did favor the Rockets...and I dont favor either team, just telling it like it is.

Again, show me a clip or cite me an example.

[Roxsfan]

We haven't lost yet. If the refs somehow give us a fair shake we will still take this series.

Had it not been for the bullshit calls in game 2, your blzrs would have been swept.

[timvp]

TMac is about to get out of the first round.

Interesting.

[Artest_Is_Fearless]

Quit blaming the refs

[GuerillaBlack]

TMac is about to get out of the first round.

Interesting.

lol, by association only.

[The Third Man]

This shit is unbelievable. They must have a mandate to get Houston into the 2nd round.

You need a time out and get off your Dad's computer. Finish your homework, take your chewable vitamins and go to bed!

[Mad_Hatter]

Oden's one and only offensive move is an offensive foul. LOL. dude's nickname should be 6 fouls.
blazers needed incredible games from Roy and Aldridge to beat houston in portland... you really expect them to repeat that for 3 more games?

[endrity]

I am a Mavs fan, and I will admit that the only one complaining about more calls should be Yao.

The thing with the Blazers is that while they are young, I am unsure how good they are. People sometime get over-exited about a young team because they think that the players will improve exponentially throughout the years but does that often is not true. Most players are at 23-24 as good as they will ever be and this might be the case for many of the Blazers. Roy is really good, and he will improve, yet tonight he played as good as you might expect and the Blazers still lost. Unless Oden really turns into a game changer really soon or they make a Rasheed Wallace type trade, this Blazers team will resemble the early 90s and early 2000s teams, with a lot of good players, not enough great ones, and eventually just a tad below a championship team. The writing is on the wall for me on this.

tlong is like 40 years old. no joke. he posted a pic a while ago.

[j-money24]

The Semifinals are almost set.

Lakers-Rockets
Mavs-Nuggets

[DAF86]

Mavs-Nuggets

OMG that's a pathetic semifinal

[Lars]

OMG that's a pathetic semifinal

Yea, I really don't like how weak the seeding ended up.

[j-money24]

It's obvious who will get out of the West now since portland will be eliminated. Portland was the only team that had a chance to knock out the Lakers.

[Mad_Hatter]

oh and Blazer fans,
Blazers 17 FT's
Rockets 22 - 6 for the intentional fouls = 16 FT's

STFU.

[endrity]

It's obvious who will get out of the West now since portland will be eliminated. Portland was the only team that had a chance to knock out the Lakers.

They never were though. The Blazers only claim to fame was the Lakers inability to beat them in the Rose garden, just like with Utah. Yet last year as well as this the Lakers took a game there. It was gonna happen with the Blazers as well.

Fact of the matter is the Lakers were going to breeze past everybody in the West. 2-9 all the teams were really average this year. And with KG being out the Cavs will do the same in the East. The Finals are set man, all of this is just a rehersal to get there.

[The Franchise]

It's obvious who will get out of the West now since portland will be eliminated. Portland was the only team that had a chance to knock out the Lakers.

We know whose favored. Until they do it, I would tone the overconfidence down. There have been larger upsets in NBA history.

True, i just dont see it happening though.

[Roxsfan]

True, i just dont see it happening though.

B/c you're blinded by the homerism..........

Your team does not play consistent D.

that would be enough to concern me as a faker fan.

[JamStone]

True, i just dont see it happening though.

Did you see the Lakers losing to the Pistons in the 2004 finals? Just saying.

Don't forget the Darius Miles effect :lol

Nothing would make me happier than to see the Mav Faggots in the WCF's.

[Tmac&Luther]

Nothing would make me happier than to see the Mav Faggots in the WCF's.

Why so Jason Terry could turn into M.J. on us like he always does? That MOFO is a damn rockets killer.....he needs to get traded somewhere. :lol

Anyways I don't see it happening, because I don't see up getting past the Lakers.

[Tmac&Luther]

Did you see the Lakers losing to the Pistons in the 2004 finals? Just saying.

I saw a old Lakers team that had more drama and story lines going on the side than every WWE pay-per-view event combined......seriously that team fucking hated eachother :lol (well mostly everybody hated Kobe....and Payton hated Kobe and the triangle)

This Lakers team isn't remotely close to that....Very talented "teams" win championships, that was just a very talented roster...not a team.

[Kamnik]

tlong sucks almost as hard as Trailblazers

Never bought that argument. That Lakers non-team was good enough to make it all the way to the NBA finals, beating a championship Spurs team and the Timberwolves who had the best record in the league that year. The way some people describe the in-team hate that Lakers squad had for each other, you'd think they would have lost in the first round.

At any rate, that wasn't my point. My point was to say what is "likely" or "expected" in the playoffs doesn't always happen. Just because many expect Lakers-Cavs in the finals, it doesn't mean it will actually happen. That's the point.
