    I seriously hate Houston from the fans to the players. It couldn't feel better...

    I was thinking maybe the weather could be the excuse.

    Breaking:

    The NBA admits that the officials made a mistake during Wednesday's night basketball game between the Portland Trailblazers and Houston Rockets. A shot clock violation was called late in the game against the Rockets. However, the NBA finds that the Rockets should have been awarded 34 seconds, and this critical call should not have been made.

    Nah, the apology will be over the foul out on Harden.

    Their excuse is that the fans didn't leave soon enough.

    Hakeem left early. The Dream was having a nightmare.

    I will say I thought the officials were generous to us with Howard. I saw at least two times he should have been awarded an and one.

    LA as well. Like on his big dunk late.

    I thought the officiating was better, pretty darn even overall. They let some things slide, but not too many BS calls either way, no more than we usually see.

    I haven't hated a team/fanbase as much as I dislike Houston's since the Blazers actually used to play real games against the Lakers in the playoffs.

    The exodus kind of gave a new meaning to "red out".

    The fairness of the refs was pointed out repeatedly in the the game thread. It seemed fair to me, but Houston fans may not think the same.

    My hate for 2014 Houston makes my hatred for the Scola model back in 2009 seem quaint and cute.

    The game started at 8:50 local time on a work night. TNT ads added to the game length. I don't blame them for beating the traffic at 11:30 PM.

    Besides, in Houston they were all up at 7:30 AM watching the spacewalk on NASA-TV. Back at the ranch, the steers are mooing for hay.

    No big personalities. It's so nice to just trust that the calls aren't a result of ego or corruption.
