I’ve been writing recaps of Rockets games for, I’m not sure, considerably more than a decade at this point, closer to two I’d imagine. I’ve written hundreds of recaps. Hundreds. Maybe four or five hundred. I can count on one hand, and certainly no more than two, the games where I vented full force on the officiating. I’d imagine the percentage of me doing this amounts to less than 1% of all my recaps.
Nonetheless, I’m almost always strenuously informed that I’m wrong, it didn’t happen, and it’s just an excuse, and only losers do that. As if, 99% of the time, it is not my primary theme.
