What did my post have to do with the Blazers winning? OP said Houston fans bitched about refs after loss. I pointed out our fans do the same after a loss
I thought the flagrant called against Parsons was iffy at best. It looked like incidental contact while Parsons was going for the ball. I credit Harden for being a bonehead on the last play. The ball ultimately should have been in his hands at the end, but... He ran to Beverly who was bringing the ball up over half court. There was plenty of time to get the ball to Harden. But in going to Beverly to get the ball, he allowed two blazers defenders to double team both Beverly and Harden. He also screened for Matthews, the guy guarding him, so Beverly didn't see him until too late. Great win for the Blazers.
Sweet! Glad you are excited like many other Blazer Fans about how we battled through and won! GO BLAZERS!
Yeah that flagrant was a little questionable in my opinion as well. That was a playoff foul. Remember them?!?! The NBA is getting so soft lately....
Yep, that was crap. I was surprised and disappointed that they called it that way. Then again, with the caliber of officiating we've seen in this series, I shouldn't have been surprised at all.
Wesley Matthews is the MVP of this series. Yes, we love LA, and Damien, but Wes' defense on Harden and his guttiness are the key IMO.
Me too. It's not like I don't complain when I see bad or biased officiating when I watch other teams' games. If it's wrong it's wrong. The officiating is cheapening the game.
