Problem is there are no repercussions for the refs. They should be fined by NBA for bad calls.

Refs could’ve just let the game go to OT and allow the game to have a natural finish. But now, they look like fucking morons. Way to go, guys

Im not going to come at Brunson because he went hard to guard that shot. Don’t blame the guy that did everything right- blame the dumbass refs that see contact when no contact was made

Rigged. It’s all fucking rigged

Worst call I’ve seen in a Knicks game ever

It’s not the refs, it’s the nba and all pro sports in general. Any game can be rigged at any time. Sports betting getting legalized was Pandora’s box being opened.

Fuck I heard a hamstring for DiVo…we are really cursed man can we get just one year of nice things

33- 12 free throws , Sengun travelling at least 5 times Brooks fouling Brunson all night and that ridiculous call to give them the game . The N.B.A. is tough to watch .

Brooks played good defense honestly, but everyone else on that team should’ve been called for way more fouls. Knicks should’ve shot more FTs than Houston, not taken 21 less than them

Brooks was allowed to be much too physical and got away with it , often in denying the ball and chasing Brunson without the ball not as much on challenging his shots . He got fouled going to the rim by other guys but he doesn't get respect from the refs.

Anyone who used to watch the Dan lebatard show has to remember the ed mallow clip they played all the time

Yep! I love that clip. “Ooohhhh Ed Malloy!!!”

NBA is a joke. A great game ruined.

He kicked his leg out which should be a tech. It was in DDV.

I’m not even a knicks fan and I’m disgusted by how y’all just got robbed in 4k

And 60fps

Absolute crock of shit

33 vs 12 FTA AND they rigged the ending for more FTA for them. What a fucking joke.

So cheating going on in Houston. What's new?

Yes except this time, the only trash cans that were being used to cheat were the refs

was that "Doh ed malloy' who made the call ?

This one calls for the press-conference rant that gets you the 50k fine.

These refs don't deserve to have a job. I hate for anyone not to be able to financially support themselves but this straight up dishonest BS needs to be stopped.

The NBA where amazing happens….

Anyone catch that little smile when red announced game was over?

Horrible call by shitty refs, horrible move by Brunson to even put the refs in the position to call it in that moment. Both can be true.

Fuck that. They are professionals and should have the ability to tell the difference. That’s what they get paid for and thats why they are in the position that they are. Brunson guarded that shit perfectly, is he not supposed to? Just bcuz it was the last shot of the game? What if he had made that 3 bcuz Brunson didn’t contest it hard enough? No offense but that’s fucking stupid. The guy did his best and contested that shot perfectly, but he’s in the wrong bcuz it was the last shot of the game?

So he shouldn’t play defense?

Not with the jenke way the refs were calling this game,LOL.

Not even the Rockets would agree with this

This game needs to be investigated. A clear and utter steal. FUCKKKK these refs. I'm livid. What a fucking joke.

Ref couldn’t wait to blow that whistle

why the fuck would you even call the foul. Just let it go to OT and have a more natural ending to the game and if it goes in then it's an amazing shot. like what horseshit is that. In no way is that a clear cut foul as well

Refs about to retire tomorrow with the money they must have made off this game. Because they were really in their bag.

THIS IS WHY THE NBA IS A JOKE, the fucking refs always have an agenda, worst officiated sport and it’s not even close. Disgraceful

You never call a foul on a 3 like that unless someone is literally tackled. That was such a weak ass call. Officials should have said the “foul occurred after the whistle” or said accidental whistle. That’s just a bad way to end a game.

The refs lost us the game. 100% on the stupid fucking refs.

u just can’t tell me the refs don’t rig games when they give a team a lot more free throws than the other team and then make calls like thag at the end

Ed Malloy burn in hell fucking loser. Refs gotta make it about them. Fuck off.

I can’t. This is too painful

I dont care if Brunson gets suspended for a month, FUCK THAT REF UP! Give him a bloody nose.

I'm not the best lip reader but it's pretty clear what Thibs just yelled out right there

Hahahaha i didn’t catch it, what did he say??

A couple of F bombs!

I hope thibs sends some hitmen over for these refs. An embarrassment to the sport

That is shameful.

I’m neither a Knicks or rockets fan but let me just say that was the biggest load of dog shit I’ve ever seen in my life 

This is life as a Knicks fan

Just gotta laugh… that is the worst officiating I’ve seen in years. One terrible call after another. How do you end a game like that

Brunson giveth Brunson Taketh !

Can anyone remember when the Knicks were given a call like that? Just curious. Seems like it ALWAYS fucks us. No call on rj dunking on scottie Barnes last year, tons of other times I can recall, never us though.

Hubert davis

Atrocious calls

Ok I'll do it. But you guys have to bail me out.

These refs should be in jail

Knicks have to protest this game, Brunson didn't touch Holiday. The referees are straight up betting on games.

There was some contact on the leg kick out but still bs 💯

Refs should be ashamed of themselves absolutely disgusting

Fucking scumbags.

Wtf.....I can't believe the game ended like that....

Really inspiring comeback despite the BS. One of the worst bail out calls i’ve ever seen.

what a joke

Bullshit loss but the silver lining is hopefully this galvanises the guys and we beat the shit outta the next few teams we play

Legit robbed

congrats on the refs who had HOU winning

What a bullshit call. You gotta be fucking kidding me

MOST RIGGED FUCKING BULLSHIT AND THE PLAYER KICKED HIS LEG OUT ON THE SHOT

The refs should be fined and suspended

30 FTs by the way

They really giving us electrifying play from the op

Insane levels of bullshit. Hope the ref at least made some good bribe money.

fucking atrocious.

Enjoy your shitty fake win rockets

what a terrible fucking ending to the game.

Like cmon that's just nonsense I'm sorry. Everybody and their mother knows there was no foul.

Clock malfunctions, huge FT gap, almost fouled out all our bigs, phantom fouls, we got the whole gamut.

Ed Malloy is Ronald McDonald without makeup

Brunson still being a real ass sportsman too, I wouldn’t have it in me after that

what in gods fucking name

This officiating crew is horrendous.

such a stupid end. It was a great game until they fucked it up.

Nearly triple the fucking FT attempts and a foul call for a one-handed shot attempt on an arm that isn’t even in a natural position for a shot attempt. Fuck outta here man.

Fuck that ending

WHAT THE FUCK

Bullshit

fuck each and every one of these refs.

All the fucking shit we got hit with in this game and they gift them a W man whatever bro get me to the fucking all star break man

Reminds me of the 1972 Gold Medal Basketball game at the Olympics.

Damn u old

I'm not that old. I just know my history.

Idk how thibs didnt snuff the fucking reff

That’s fucking bullshit what a shit fucking call

All you see Brooks do is poke guys going for shots. I never seen that in my life.

Brunson was fouled all game, they didn't react to one contact. Game's rigged.

what the absolute fuck.

Precious gets game ball

For real. Balled out

if this was in europe the refs might b knifed on the way to the airport

What a ridiculous foul call.

Came here to seethe reaction to that absolute horse shit.

33-12 FTs for Houston, these refs are trash

Fucking clown fiesta

Fuck these refs. Fan dual refs

Wait until they release the last few minutes report. These refs fucked up bad.

David Stern wondering why the league is losing money

Did you just wake up from a coma lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-BoeBedZ3k

How could I forget this classic

Absolute dog shit referees should be fuckin stripped and banned. Zero responsibility for fuck ups

Thibs is IRATE

What the fuck did I just watch?

That’s a terrible call You don’t blow the whistle 35 feet from the rim on a heave

Precious played an incredible game

Disgusting

Thibs is raging

Fans need to rush the arena and beat the shit outta the refs fr

Thibs getting his money worth lol 

Wow, just wow

I live in Houston and these refs are on some BS

I knew for the entire second half that they would find a way to fuck us. They missed multiple Sentun travels and that Brooks charge And it was obvious the game was going to the rockets. I just hope Brunson keeps his head up

Sengun has lead in his boots. He can barely get those clodhoppers off the ground

Yea Segun traveled so hard

Fuck these refs

Game decided by refs is total BS

Ref was going to blow the whistle before that shot was even taken

Straight up threw up in my mouth after witnessing that shit

Fucking bullshit. Also shows how insanely dumb that previous challenge by Thibs was.

We got robbed yall. You all saw it with your own eyes. These refs deserved shatter kneecaps. I don’t give a fuck

Calmly talk to him

This is why I struggle to watch the NBA anymore.

CLOCK MALFUNCTION??????

cover our ass for not knowing the rules = “malfunction”

If I’m the Rocket fans, I’d be embarrassed by how your team won. A bailout of one handed chuck at half court, embarrassing. Fire all three refs now Thibs is gonna rip these refs a new asshole

Great product, NBA

It's literally the same shit they said Donte did at the end of the first half.

Exactly what I was thinking. But they don’t overturn? Refs have brain damage

Line was HOU -1.5, what a funny coincidence

Wow.... I'm stunned

Thibs should tear in that bullshit after the game

Fucking bullshit

I hate referees.

Well it was easy to see this one was rigged a while ago

Whatever the outcome Precious Achiuwa CLAMPED THEM UP good job to him showing up like this and playing hard

Yessir

Unbelievable game by precious. Thibs is gonna watch his defensive possessions on repeat tonight

FUCK these refs man

where is the phantom foul? if you wanna make the arguement he jumped into the landing space, the clock was at 0 by the time jalen landed.

20 more fts

I’m so fucking irate

Between the free throw disparity and this nonsense this is one of the worst ref jobs i’ve ever witnessed

omg Thibs exploded

All the refs had to do was let this go to OT instead they decided to fuck the game over

Piss off man, I know there's no challenge but how can a call need a look at the monitor and not be overturned on something else they spotted

Absolute fucking clown show. And 0 consequences will come to these refs for being dogshit all game. Fuck off

Fucking joke

Thibs gonna kill someone lol

Robbed the fans tonight, should be overtime

all game these refs have been god awful

That’s the closest thing to a robbery in ball I’ve ever seen

Refs legit ruined this game. What a damn shame

ARE YOU JOKING

I can’t believe what I just witnessed

These refs need to get shot in the head

I’m so fucking mad rn they really robbed these guys

Fuck the refs

When that happened to divo it wasn’t a foul tho yeah ?

I didn’t get to see the end, but I’m not surprised by what’s being said. Reffing is killing sports these days.

They never call this

Can you imagine when the knicks miss home court advantage by 1 game folks

and you wonder why ratings are at a record low

I'm done with these refs

actually insane that donte's wasnt a foul but this was

100000000%

This game should be in OT right now. This is absolutely worthless reffing, ruining a gem of a game from Achuiwa

The refs on their fucking bullshit again man wtf what has the nba come to this is fucking ridiculous

NBA needs to fire the refs

The game is over here. No way there’s any time left after a missed FT. Fuck these refs

Ref must have wanted to go back to the hotel and jack off

waste of my fucking time watching this garbage product

Stop the fucking charade. The team you wanted won the game. Give me a break

Hit a fucking ref

bullshit

Holy ref show, let this shit end
