Rockets vs Caveliers

The game tonight has really been a good one, but as usual, the referees have taken Yao out of the game! Two really bad calls, so far, one before half time the second after, were so bad that even Bill Worrell and Matt Bullard made comments about these calls! However, these are just things that are part of the NBA and the Rockets must overcome it, they should be used to it by now!
That said, I do not think I will ever overcome it! Doesn’t look like Ron Artest can either, but he has done a great job with LeBron James so far, but with all the ticky tac fouls, Cleveland has realized that they can get away with more than usual, but, we will see what happens. I think, in a “fair” game, the Rockets would blow them out! However, every time the Rockets take over, the officials make one of those calls that changes the game!
Here we are in the fourth quarter, and Yao goes for a shot, gets fouled at least twice if not 4 times, but does the whistle blow? Heck no! Funny, Yao was taken out by the officials with an “iffy” foul and two completely bogus ones, yet, do they even call it when he gets fouled 4 times at once? Come on officials, I dare anyone to call me on this one!
Ilgauskas just grabbed Yao and threw him! what do you know, that qualified for a whistle!
Here we are a bit later and ilguaskas has fouled out! Funny, that should have been in the first half!
Who is this Varejao guy? They finally called a foul on him too, he looked like a little dog humping on Yao’s leg!
This could have been a very good game, but with the way the officials called it, it sucked! Cleveland is a great team, but made greater by the removal of Yao Ming and the piss poor calls!
i think that the officials should be taken away, and just let the players fight it out, fair and square! The Rockets end up losing, but I am sure that both sides are unhappy, the officiating was so bad, even at the end, but, it leaned to the Cavs! The only thing anybody wants is a fair game, if one team is better, let it be, do not get the officials to win the game, that just sucks!
Overall; T-Mac sucked as usual, in my opinion a totaly over rated cry baby hypocondraic, but when he gets in the mood a great player, had “sore knees” I believe tonight. LeBron was who he is, a superstar, but, Ron Artest did a good job on him, well, all but the 3rd quarter anyway. This, as I said before, could have been a great game, but the officials sucked!
