The Rockets beat the Warriors last night in a somewhat-shocker that really isn't that big of a deal (seeing as how they still need to do it three more times). Still, their front office was fired up about both the refs and a certain former-Rocket-turned-TV-analyst.
First, Houston's GM Daryl Morey called out the officials over two egregious non-calls. The first was this Andrew Bogut arm-bar that went unwhistled (well, unless you count the technical Dwight Howard got for throwing the ball):
Additionally he tweeted about an uncalled Draymond Green tackle on Michael Beasley with a second left:
Second, Tad Brown, the Rockets' CEO, also had something to say as he took umbrage at Charles Barkley opining that there "Ain't nothing worse than fake hustle. I guarantee you the Rockets are going to lose this game."
However at least one member of the Rockets appeared to understand that media predictions are just educated guesses, intended to entertain, and that ultimately don't matter in the slightest, as Patrick Beverly was asked if the comments bugged him and responded with "No, no, it's their job to talk. You can't be mad at them."
Anyway at least one of these dudes (the first one) will probably get fined.
