'Protest that': Ruthless memes roast Rockets after Spurs protest denied, buzzer-beater loss

The Rockets have had better days.

As if the NBA denying the Rockets' protest of last week's double-overtime loss to the Spurs Monday didn't hurt enough, there was still a game to be played. And the Rockets suffered a crushing, last-second loss to the Kings off a deep buzzer-beater, right after Russell Westbrook scored what most thought would be the game-winning layup with 1 second left.

Naturally, social media took the opportunity to dogpile on the hated Rockets. Even the Kings, who haven't made the playoffs since George W. Bush was president, poured salt in the wound.
