Utah Jazz vs. Houston Rockets 7:00 MST Game #81

[The Sheik]

INterestingly, this was one game where I wasn't bothered by the reffing.

I thought it was poor, but, not that one sided. For instance, I thought Battier was nailed with 2-3 calls that they could have let slide.

I mean it was a bit frustrating that none of the Jazz players were allowed to guard Mcrady early on. But, you knew that eventually the refs would get tired of blowing the whistle every possession. And they did.

the only bias thing that pissed me off was Bob Delanny picking on Deron Williams after he T'd him up. That was some Joey Crawford bs.

I don't know if anyone else caught this, but after Harp drew a foul in the 4th crossing into the lane and was stepping up to the free throw line, McGrady was over by the scorer's table complaining to the ref.

He said something to the effect that they need shoulder pads to play Harp.

That is one of the things I really like about Harp. He easily will draw 3-4 fouls on the opponent per game just by flashing into the lane and banging the defender hard. When the defender bangs back, he draws a whistle.

It always helps to get the team into the penalty as soon as possible.

As long as he's not trying to injure anyone, GOOD FOR HIM!

I don't think Harpring is trying to injure anyone, but I do think his mindset is as follows...

I am going to take the physicality to a different level, if you can't handle it thats your fault.

I hate the fact that boler has to remind us at least 5 times per game that he played football in high school.

Hey give him a break. He is mixing it up now. Rather than mentioning how he was a quarterback, he is saying that he could be a linebacker.

Hey guys ,
Props you guys have a great team , very tough , elite pg and create a ton of mismatches.
