    I'd say the problem is combination of all those options. :(

    I posted this in the game day thread. I'll re-post this here.

    "To morons saying it wasn't the refs. Take those 3 embarassing offensive calls (against Harden) away and this would be an entirely different game. In the end, we only lost by 1 possession."

    If you're an ESPN box game watcher then I understand where you're coming from.

    I like to b**** about stuff during the game, but the reality is the Rockets just aren't that good.

    What the refs not on the Rocket’s side vs the Lakers?

    Hey little kids that was like this in the 1980s
    Before Donahey and before Russian hacker sites you use to watch the Rockets play you cheap fools

    Criticizing the officiating and the Rockets play are not mutually exclusive things. The officiating was a disgrace and the Rockets are mess. Both things can be true and both deserve extensive scrutiny.

    It’s pretty easy for you guys to think there’s a conspiracy against the Rockets

    But hey it makes you feel good and you don’t have to care about the real problems

    If you are better basketball team refs wont change it in couple of calls. We have no killer instinct and role players stink because they are not involved in the play. We should play more Mike style like at the start of last season, Harden iso just holds hostage our entire offense

    0-8 against foster last year + the playoffs

    36% of our losses came against ONE ref.

    Weird we won no games with Scott Foster last year.....

    Shut up dude lol. We know this team isn’t good compared to last years team, but we can also point out how awful Scott Foster is and that it is personal with him and has been for a while now, longer for CP3.

    This! That said we have given up big leads in many games this year. Paul needs to start leading again. MDA needs to make in game adjustments.

    Just curious Tinman. When is the last time you saw TWO stars on the same team foul out of an NBA game?

    Refs cant blow 20 point leads game after game. This team is so ****ing bad and missing so many parts. Too bad tilmen and morey were too busy stacking paper when they should have been trying to get those parts

    Foster is absolute trash and is fixing games but Rockets also simply aren’t good enough anymore to win a championship.

    Much less painful than last year when we had our best shot stolen by this scumbag
