    I would like to hear his thoughts as well. I also ref and thought she lost control of the game, let River's constant hounding affect her and made calls that weren't even just bad but downright horrible. The last two she made were especially egregious. Paul ran right into Napier....completely changing direction and totally initiating contact. The next one had Stotts laughing so hard in disgust it's like he was trying to get a 'T' to make a point.

    For some reason Rivers is allowed to rant, scream, yell and show the refs up all night and none of them have the ball to do anything about it. It's like Green is allowed to keep kicking people and no call or fine is made.

    Last night was so predictable in terms of outcome that I turned down free 5th row seats. Watching the Clippers is annoying, watching Rivers is irritating and there was no way after the playoff last year that a healthy Clipper team was losing this game. I just didn't know ref Lauren was going to make it even worse.

    The refs been letting the Clippers get away this shit for years. Until someone with balls in the NBA office start calling these refs out they will continue to be bad. I thinks they thought Stern was still the Commish maybe the new Commish need to put his foot down.

    Last night I was cutting the coaches sound for TNT. While watching the action, I had to listen to Doc on headsets.......THE WHOLE GAME! My ears are still bleeding!

    If that doesn't show ref bias, I don't know what does

    With our luck Dame is going to get suspended for leaving the bench.

    Honestly sorry for you man. Wouldn't wish that on anyone!

    One thing I have noticed is Dame. Even when he isn't on the court and a timeout is called, as soon as he is done giving high fives to the players coming off the court, he doesn't huddle with them. He B-lines right to the refs to discuss things. It may not have helped last night ( not sure) but it will help in time. Just another example of his leadership qualities. He knows he needs to be in their ear as much as the opponent. Stotts should take a page from this.

    Doesn't matter that it would have been justified, the media would still vilify him because thats what the media does, overreact.

    He didn't go out on the playing court he stay in the bench area so there shouldn't be nothing happen.

    He left the bench though, I thought that was automatic...or maybe that's only in the case of a fight

    I think it is only when the play is called dead but not a timeout. Dame left the bench on almost every timeout. Curious as to the clarification on this though. Where and when is the line drawn, or is it vague?
    @dviss1 ?
    @TBpup ?

    Moot point in terms of Dame and this situation, since he never said it. Some people on twitter are just stupid.

    A little ironic that this is the same ref that got blasted by CP3 last year.

    Or convenient... very convenient. This ref t'd up like 3 Clippers players in one game last year or something.

    Officiating is human. It has had something to do with every game in every sport in history. What it's not, is the reason we lost.

    You sound like my son after a bad grade, blaming his teacher. You know what I tell him? Do better. That's what Portland needed to do last night, better

    We're 1-1 not the end of the world. If anything this will hopefully spark a fire in the team. Could be a blessing in disguise for the season.
