    Hey NBA, even in my local and very insignificant league, this stuff never happen. NEVER EVER.

    That should put context into what the NBA should do.

    The Rockets need to officaliy protest the game to have NBA possibly change the call. Tilman would have to send in 10000 dollars. If Rockets get the call reversed Tilman gets his money back. If they don't reverse the call, Tilman loses 10000. So what will Tilman do???

    10000 can get a win, why not? does Tilman want to save money ? Apart for freedom, Justice and Fairness are important that Houston should fight for it.

    Sarah calling out all them straw man arguments. The people who are sooooooo so focused on the Rockets not winning this game are actually willing to compromise the integrity of this sport in its most fundamental concept. We can't call it "basketball" if we can just ignore made baskets. I don't care if the Rockets still get the loss after reviewing Russ' backcourt violation, but the league needs to respond. The league waiting another day and putting the pressure on the Rockets to actually file a protest at $10k is quite baffling. I can only hope they're in communication with the Rockets org and not that they're intentionally remaining silent. I'll honestly lose respect for the league if they let this go without any response.

    It was an absolutely shocking miss from the officials, but we blew a 22 point lead. We shouldn't really blaming anyone but ourselves.

    $10k? Lol. I guess Fertitta will take his loss. Sorry boys, no chance the Rockets win the protest, so Fertitta won't be gambling his hard earned money.

    The lack of focus from the players after that missed call, I honestly wish they would refocus on the 7:50 left. Shouldve blown them out, its embarrassing to lose games to the Spurs, Nets, Heat.

    I really hate the incompetence of Mike Dantoni and the coaching staff.

    If the Rockets miss the Western Conference Finals. Mike needs to go, Rockets really need a Younger, Tougher, Smarter Coach.

    Nick Nurse was a huge loss from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. He shouldve been a Assitant, instead Roy Rogers. Toronto is such awesome team this year.

    Anyone who suggests Tilman wouldn't pay the 10k is fooling themselves.

    He's the most entitled owner in the league & he hasn't been told "no" for over three decades. He's going to protest this

    The more I think about it, the more I think that the only logical thing to do here is give the Rockets the win. I'd think the same way if it was Spurs that had this happen to them. Two points are objectively missing from the game. There is 0.00% ambiguity about this; there is nothing open to interpretation about this single event in the game at all.

    Furthermore, replaying the game from the point of this mistake is a completely arbitrary "solution." That mistake did not objectively change the subsequent course of the game in any way. Replaying from 7:50 is no more or less "fair" or "right" than replaying the last 5 minutes or the entire last quarter.

    If this were a legal case, I think this would sufficient cause for a mistrial even after the verdict had been rendered. Yeah, giving the Rockets the win is going to piss off an enormous amount of people, but it's the only logical thing to do. Everything else is subjective and arbitrary.

    Now, I will say that I don't expect this level of objectivity in what comes from this. The League will do what it wants. But anything else but awarding the win will not be the just decision no matter how it eventually turns out in the end for whichever team.

    The NBA seems to be pulling the same **** that its refs did in saying D'Antoni missed the 30 second window for the review.

    Claiming the investigation will take more than 48 hours and forcing the Rockets to officially protest seems like it's been designed to draw as much vitriol and hate from every other team and their fanbases as possible. Zero chance this is going anywhere good for the Rockets.

    We will protest.

    It is the right thing to do.

    The evidence is too damning.

    The league will count the Harden dunk and give the win to the Lakers.
