SportsFilter: The Monday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Professional sports in 2019 has come to this: The Houston Rockets had Game 7 of the 2018 conference finals "audited" and issued a report claiming that referees changed the outcome of the game in the Warrior's favor.
The article painstakingly goes through all of the scenarios and makes it clear that Houston's methods are, umm "suspect" to say the least. One has to wonder though, is this a new type of strategy to influence the refs in the current series against these same two teams?

Rockets simply need to stop whining and focus on winning.
Any NBA team could audit any Game 7 played on the opponents home court and come up with the same result.

Even The Simpsons know it's tough being an Ottawa Senators fan...
