Before I begin to vent, I will tell ya that I did have money on this game, but aside from that I and anyone else ( aside from Bulls followers ) who watched the game have a legit complaint. The refs took away 5 points total from Kyle Lowery which could have been a difference maker in this game. For those of you who didn't see it, Kyle made a 3pt and 2 pt 24 sec buzzer beater only to have the refs review the shots and take the points away. They said that he didn't get the ball off in time. Then with less than 2 minutes to go in the 4th the Bulls were inbounding the ball and didn't get it pass mid court in time. The Bulls coach noticed that it was going to be close and called time out with 16 seconds left on the 24 clock. It was very very close, but the refs refused to take a look at the replay. What a joke, they will look at 2 buzzer beater shots, but not a mid court violation ! Then with 2.8 seconds left in the game the refs completely missed a foul that was plain as day. The bulls were inbounding the ball and K-Mart shoved the Bull player that got the ball, in the back. The Bull player nearly tripped in the process, and no foul was even called until .8 seconds left. This game stunk of bad reffing, and refs heavily favoring the Bulls. I know someone is gonna probably say you are mad cause you lost a bet, yeah it sucks to lose any bet, but even if there was not a bet made, I'd still be here complainin.

You sure about that? I can see why the refs didnt go back to review the 8 seconds, because they didnt think anything was wrong in the first place. Did the shot clock go off before the shot? You saw it, what do you think? If he didnt get it off then the -2 points is fairComment -
I started a thread yesterday making the exact same three points you have. I can live with the Landry baskets not counting, but at least review the backcourt violation. That was a critical jucture.
There were also a few very questionable offensive foul calls on the Rockets that killed momentum, the worst being on Landry late the the momentum.
After sleeping on it last night, I've cooled the jets and refocused.Comment
