I figured I would make a thread dedicated to this great time of year!

First post...

GO ROCKETS!! Absolutely trounced the Blazers!

**MrGreg** · 04-19-2009, 08:38 AM

Yeah, I'm not exactly happy about that.

**Cheesypuff** · 04-19-2009, 12:04 PM

yes yes...it was a yummy win indeed =)

**MrGreg** · 04-24-2009, 08:44 PM

What the F is up with this officiating? "yeah, you played all season with one set of rules, but now that it's the playoffs, the rules are completely different"

**Cheesypuff** · 04-24-2009, 09:23 PM

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we were up 17 at one point...holy crap...how did portland get it down to 1?!?!?!

The call disparity in the center position in this series is just crazy.

I'm not taking anything away from Houston, and Portland is clearly not playing to their full potential, but these mickey mouse fouls they're calling on Oden and Prysbilla are complete BS. And Yao is practically planting roots in the paint, but never gets called for 3 seconds.

**Cheesypuff** · 04-26-2009, 11:11 PM

oden was bound to be called for fouls. He doesn't know how to control his size, which is why he's being called for the fouls. The rookie will learn in time.

Prysbilla on the other hand, is just plain clumsy =) I love looking at his face expressions after he's called for a foul...he's so lethargic

**MrGreg** · 04-27-2009, 09:32 AM

So you think this is a legit call: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6j8JCajoMA ?

And again, I'm not blaming losing on the refs. We should be able to win despite the calls. It's just frustrating to watch.

**Cheesypuff** · 04-27-2009, 11:16 AM

yah, that call was a bit off.

good find =)

**Showtime** · 04-27-2009, 07:06 PM

do or die time for many teams...

**Cheesypuff** · 04-28-2009, 12:05 AM

ouch....hornets and CP3 got their arses handed to them...that must hurt so much.

**Cheesypuff** · 04-30-2009, 09:11 PM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!! the curse is over!!! ROCKETS TO SECOND ROUND.

**GraingerGuy** · 04-30-2009, 09:17 PM

Off the second round!

Bring it on LA! And Showtime...I'm expecting much trash talk to commence with you shortly.

After already setting a record for overtime games in a playoff series (3), the Bulls and Celtics added yet another overtime (a triple OT) tonight before the Bulls finally held on to squeak out a win in the 6th game.

**Cheesypuff** · 04-30-2009, 10:03 PM

markel...that game was SO intense. rose had a CLUTCH block at the end...not so clutch with the 2 free throws =)

**VTGreg** · 05-01-2009, 04:50 AM

What a series. 4 of the 6 games have gone into OT and 2 of those games were a triple and a double overtime game. They've now played 7 overtime periods in the 6 games of the series. Unbelievable.
