Apparently the Rockets never knock or deflect the ball out of bounds. It's always off of us.

We're at home and are still getting blasted by the refs.

Rockets campaigning for fouls is hilarious.

McDermott and Abrines are bright spots.

Why on earth is Kanter still out there?

Not to mention a handful of OOB calls that have gone Houston's way where it looked like, at the very least, there was some question as to who really touched the ball last.

Donovan actually turned to an assistant during game one and said "Kanter can't play" in this series, which was actually a rare correct assertion by our moron head coach. Yet, here we are in game four, and Kanter is still getting minutes.

Harden shoves Adams a Adams is running back down the court...refs just ignore it.

Awesome.

What's up with that god awful hitch in Oladipo's jump shot?

Rockets within 2 because the refs are once again screwing us.

Are we going to go through this entire series and not get one good game from Oladipo?

Does Nene ever miss?

I'm starting think you could have Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain in the vicinity contesting a Nene shot, and he'd still throw up some crap and make it.

And then Lou Williams makes a BS tough shot.

Won't be happy if Oladipo and Kanter are still on this team next season.

The fact that nobody on your team except Russ and Kanter (who can't play more than 10 MPG in this series) is good at drawing fouls is really hurting you IMO. You should have been leading by more by now.

Doesn't help that the rockets got 17 free throws. This would be a blowout, otherwise.

We had possession and a chance to pus our lead to 16 or 17. Rockets go on a 8-0 run and it's a 6-point game.
