NBA fans and media crushed the Houston Rockets for being so lame

The Houston Rockets are so lame.

If you missed it, ESPN came out with a report on Monday that the Rockets performed their own audit on last year’s Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors and found 81 times in which they got robbed by the refs.

Really.

Imagine being the person who had to rewatch that game and jot down every instance in which it looked like an official might have wronged your team?

What a sad job that must have been.

NBA media and fans were instantly in agreement that the Rockets are really lame for doing such a thing. And they didn’t hold back:

Blew double digit halftime leads in two closeout games

Missed 27 straight 3-pointers in Game 7

But no, it must have been the refs…. pic.twitter.com/nmea9ieYKN

Warriors: "No team could be more unlikable than us."

Rockets: "Hold my audit." https://t.co/h7PvdYfWIE

Hey Rockets, enough with the complaints! Human error is part of sports. Let's replay Game 6 '98 Jazz v Bulls when MJ pushed off on his iconic game winner, or Showtime Lakers v Bad Boy Pistons when LA won on phantom foul call on Laimbeer in '88 Finals https://t.co/ppKPCPO7Jw

The Rockets wrote this memo ostensibly for the league, but never sent it, and instead communicated all of this data-intensive report via a meeting? And then the memo gets leaked to the media. So they basically wrote this memo for the media.

The Rockets are the lamest team in sports

Rocket's "audit" of game 7 from 2018… lol

How about the 27 straight missed 3's? You make 4 of those (<15%) and you win that game. Absolutely pathetic blaming the refs for this L. Not really surprised though coming from a team with 2 of the biggest cry babies in the NBA. pic.twitter.com/gFzfiwlTT6

Rockets are saying the refs changed the eventual NBA champs last year? It may or may not be true but going 0/27 on 3s may do something as well.

Not sure if this is more embarrassing for the league or Rockets being the first team to perform an audit lol https://t.co/x7XqukY5U7

The rockets are the biggest whiners in the NBA by a longshot. Harden went 9/28, while kicking out on almost all of his 3's…. Which, you know, have always been offensive fouls. This is such an embarassing and lame story line https://t.co/ZP1zy0JttI

Miss 27 3s in a row in game 7 – feat never to be surpassed
– blame the refs
Lose to the injured/tired warriors
– blame the refs
“Superstar” player misses final shot
– blames the refs

Not a fan of the warriors , less a fan of the rockets pic.twitter.com/EgPSsI6ut6

Hey Rockets, stop bitching and moaning.

You complaining about things that happened yesterday and even last year isn't changing anything.

Just get back to ball and find a way to win. Playing the ref card is getting SO OLD

Rockets whining about officiating is like getting a noise complaint from Stephen A. Smith.
