    Smith with the Team leading -19. Individual +/- usually don't mean much, but in this case, it does.

    The Rockets lost on the road to the best team in the Eastern Conference.

    The Rockets had a lead with 2 minutes left.

    The Rockets got literally no calls.

    I saw nothing tonight that lead me to think any better or worse about the Rockets.

    Josh Smith shooting 3 3's late in the game is Rockets playing their hearts out? Really?

    I guess that's why he calls himself Smoove. If he makes one, he needs to smoove out his average by missing another...and another...and another.

    Jimmy played good D on James, and officiating was just so so bad, just look at the tape, Bulls were favored from the beginning.

    HOW DO YOU SCORE 62 POINTS THE PAINT AND ONLY HAVE 5 FTs?

    We had this one, but not sure why Butler was able to get that called for the "Push" off by Harden. I mean, boy those calls when on one side of the court.

    Yes we could have played much better and won this game, but if you don't think the refs swayed this game at all, I have bad news.

    Outscored the Bulls 62-44 points in the paint w/ 2 of the league's leading free throw shooters yet they shoot 25 more free throws than us? 30-5 free throws w/ the 4th and 5th coming with 33 seconds left. AND one of them was a technical.

    Never should've taken out Motiejunas either. Do NOT make players like him into a 3 point shooter. Same goes for Smoove.

    4 free throw attempts off fouls when we have Harden and Howard......really?? 64 pts in the paint and we got fouled TWICE? Give me a mother****ing break.

    Officiating was bad! DEFENSE AND BALL MOVEMENT WAS WORSE!!! We should have won this game even with the officiating...

    Cavs should be a easy win, so not too worried.

    Hometown calls pretty much sealed this game up for Chicago.

    The last 4 minutes or whatever don't override the other 44.

    Also Josh Smith has to calm down with his passing. Off the top of my head I can recall 4 just plain dumb passes he made that resulted in a turnover

    This whole game was controlled by the refs and it was to the Bulls favor. Free throws were 30 (Bulls) to 5 Rockets).
