    hats off to the Spurs for their magnificent shooting and overall offense in the 1st half, but... Holy Fucking Shit on the swallowing of the whistles on the other end. The Blazers took it to the hole the entire 1st half and the fouls were constant and not subtle. Physical play is one thing but cracks across the shooter's wrists & body contact that changes a driving players course mid flight are fouls. 3 minutes left in the 2nd quarter they had 3 fouls total.

    Joey Fucking Crawford. God I hate it that I'm such a Bball addict sometimes

    Parker has had open hots all game in the mid-range

    They're just not falling

    The Blazers are putting absolutely zero pressure on the Spurs right now. It's all terrible defense.

    This is a really good learning experience. Good team to measure yourself against.

    I can''t believe the desparity between the Rockets and the Spurs is this much. But Portland needs to start believing or they will lose in four.

    I don't know if Stotts' job is safe if this trend continues. These are fundamental breakdowns and non-adjustments that should be made.

    Couldn't say it better bro. Seriously, that's what's frustrating me. It's such a huge advantage when you are allowed to hack, when taking away the perimeter shot

    Eh - maybe a couple of missed calls. The fouls you're hoping for are weak at best - this is the Playoffs. We're just choking at the rim. If you can't play through a few bumps you don't belong in the Playoffs.

    It's either a belief issue or they were truly satisfied with what they have accomplished.

    Duncan's "moving screens", if that's what you want to call them, aren't doing you guys in. Parker scored maybe 3 times off of them. It's you garbage defense.

    The refs are leaving the Spurs wide open on the 3pt line

    The refs are giving the Spurs 5ft of space and not pressuring the ball

    The refs are hitting their shots

    The refs are giving up offensive rebounds

    It's all the refs

    It has been said before but sometimes you need to get a tech or two. Or someone needs to get fined. It is simply not ok to just accept this.

    As far as refs go, we won't get shit at home from those fuckers. We haven't all season.

    how many offensive rebs and points off turnovers have we given up - way too fukkin much! and SA is not at all a good offensive rebounding team, is that on the refs?

    and how does an "old team" run the break so much better than we do?

    Yup. I genuinely like Terry, but if he's going to be our head coach going forward they MUST sign a defensive assistant.

    Is :cry refs are screwing us :cry really how the majority of Blazer fans are reacting to the first half? We just dropped 70 on you and you're complaining about the refs? C'mon, act like you've been there.
