    Rockets fate was sealed with the NBA when they announced that CP3 was out until at least game 3 of the Finals.

    When did they announce that?

    quite frankly while everyone is upset about game 7 I was much more upset about game 6.

    That's when we got it with no lube

    Maybe. Game 7 was still winnable. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it.

    Gordon and others were absolutely on fire in game 6 before the refs took us out of it. Considering what I saw from the team over the last month and some change, I thought that kind of shooting streak would be hard to duplicate and that's actually what bore out. So I'm still much more upset about game 6. I thought it was much more egregious.

    Games 6 & 7 equally painful. The fix was done more masterfully in game 6. Game 7 was too obvious and with a known fixer in Foster. Call me crazy but I was very suspicious of the last 4 minutes of Game 1 (Foster & Brothers) when we kept making runs to get to 5 points and they called ridiculous fouls and an over the mid court non-turnover at perfect times to ruin any momentum for a typical Rockets end of the game run. After watching that bullshit reversal of the call in tonight’s game by the Brothers crew and several other questionable calls, I am disgusted by the lack of oversight in the NBA. It is getting to the point where WWE outcomes feel more authentic and less scripted than the NBA.

    The Rockets fate was sealed the moment they won Game 5. Both of the final CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES were rigged by the NBA. The Rockets never had a chance. I saw every moment. They won the championship Monday night and I don't care what anyone says.
