Devin initially had pinned Dwight's arm and the refs let it go so i think Dwight said, hey, they're letting us play, so the shove

Didn't get to see the game but damn! Howard beasting with total 26 boards!! with 11 from the offensive end. Wow!
Good to see vintage Howard showed up in this series so far.
Also, kudos to Harden getting his pts. away from the free throw line.

the play they are complaining where howard pushes devin harris to get the rebound

was half a foul and half a flop .

I don't think Devin flopped on that play at all. At the same time Dallas way overreacted to that play. Howard extended his arm a bit and had a clear grip on the jersey, but I was fine with the no call after I saw the replay. Just a couple guys going after a loose ball. But Devin lost his balance due to the contact from Howard--definitely wasn't flopping on that one.

Now on some other plays we had some flopping going on both ways. That charge Ariza drew for instance was an amazing dive.

And yeah its embarrassing to have our organization complain about calls. The refs didn't have their best game, but I don't believe the bad calls were slanted toward the Rockets by any means and again officiating isn't the reason we have lost any of these games. We have gotten beat by the better team plain and simple. We are a veteran team with a veteran coach--we really have no excuse to be caught up with the whistles.

As a rockets fan I actually believe we got the benefit of most of the calls last night, but that happens for every team sometimes. I don't blame mavs fans for complaining because (at least from my view) refs were giving us the calls for the most part...though this whole series I think they have been bad both ways

But I hate when people blame the refs in general (I have done it occasionally in the moment, too)...but most of the time it's fans being homers. Anytime Toronto loses its because the refs hate Toronto for instance

And guys...that harden foul on dirk behind the 3 seemed like a foul to me. He bodied him and reched behind and hit his arm

But all is well because we won 8-)

Funny how Carlise is complaining about Howard's physical play, but he should look no further on his own team with Tyson Chandler. It was just that Tyson went up against someone who was more physical and stronger.

carlisile working the refs to avoid a sweep. dwight ddint even get 20min in game 1 cuz of the ticky tack fouls. jj, dirk and tyson flopping off of him. tyson being a little bitch and swiping at dwight's arm when all he was doing is sticking it out. ur alowed to do that. tyson is a skinny center and complaining about dwight's arm pushing him. stfu

That's actually a Jake backpack from Adventure Time. Dwight really just is a big kid.

2005: JVG complains about refs not calling fouls, gets fined $100,000
2015: Carlisle complains about refs not calling fouls, gets fined $25,000

the longer the spurs/clips series drags on...the more time for bev to recover...probably not in time for the 2nd rd, but u never know.
