I am proud to be a fan of the Houston Rockets...

That was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen. It's like the refs simply decided to end the game in the third quarter. There were so many ludicrous calls, I couldn't list them all in a 200 page book. That second half was trash.

I am proud of coach Rudy Tomjanovich. He stood up for his team, against those ****ty men with whistles. The Rockets played through all that crap, and were down six with five minutes left. Of course, the refs immediately decided to swallow their whistles when the Rockets were on offense, and cough them back up when the Sonics had the ball.

The Rockets were already handicapped from the start, playing without Steve. The refs added yet another roadblock to what should have been a Rockets win.

Give the Sonics credit, they played hard, but the final score of that game was Refs: 99, Rockets: 81.


It was great so see Eddie finally break out. Too bad he didn't demand the ball in the second half. Speaking of demanding the ball, what is up with Glen Rice? He really needs to start asserting himself in the offense. Zero points on a night when the leading scorer is injured is not acceptable. What really bugged me is not that he missed shots, it's that he rarely took them. Glen needs to jack up 30 shots in one of these games, and get his confidence back.

I was impressed with everyone else. I had the opportunity to sit courtside and watch warmups, and I could see that Mobley was wincing in pain every time he tried to run. I was amazed that he was even out there at all. 21 points floored me.

I am proud to be a Rockets fan. This team never quits. I thought they were going to pull this one off during that stretch in the second quarter, but they couldn't overcome missing their leading scorer and the 5 on 8 matchup.

I hope that the Rockets come into Seattle in March fully healthy. I have no doubt that the Rockets would have crushed this team if Francis had been playing.

Get healthy guys, and crush the Clippers. Then the Kings. Then who ever the hell else you play.

Go Rockets!!!!!
