    What BS! The box score has Griffin with zero blocks against the Lakers! He swatted someone (Fox?) in plain view! I could've sworn Willis had a block also, but not according to the box score!

    I also saw Lindsey Hunter fake KT and Stevie out of their shoes to then get blocked into the backboard by Cat. It was late in the forth if I recall it correctly. I think that leaves Cuttino on 1 blk/game. :cool:

    Whats going on with the NBA stats keepers? I know after the game that Eddie was credited with 1 block and 1 reb. Now he has none. I remember the block also it was all ball and never made it more than a couple of feet over Fox's head and Eddie sent it right back.

    I also remember Willis' and Mobley's blocks that were not credited.

    where?

    It was in the Chronicle.

    Mobley is also in the Chronicle, crash. Kenny Thomas definitely had one in traffic, who some felt it was Willis. The one I remember was rightfully awarded to Kenny.

    Also, can someone explain to me why Francis got credited for Mobley's shot in overtime when LA was arguing offensive interference. It looked like Francis was trying to say that he didn't touch it, because otherwise it was interference?

    Francis may not have touched the ball, but it certainly appeared he did. The only camera angle they showed was from behind. On TV I heard the Rocket PA guy credit the basket to Mobley, but the TV announcers credited it to Francis. If Francis truly touched it (and I believe he did), then it is a break the Rocket's got from the officials.

    If you look under the box score on the clutchcity webpage and on ESPN no blocks were credited to the Rockets at all.

    I just checked the Rockets webpage and Cat, Steve, Eddie and Kenny were all credited with a block. ESPN and Clutchcity both have 0 blocks for the rockets game against LAL.

    Also I beleive the argument was that the ball was outside the cylinder and Francis tipped it back in that is why the credit was given to Francis instead of Cat. The replay clearly showed offensive gaoltending.
