    Holy shit. You're kidding me, right?

    Tell me....when Dame laid on 51 on GS last year, were we the better team than they were, overall?

    I think it would be funny if the refs responded with

    "ya, we messed up, but how in the hell do you blow a 21 point lead at home, bitch"

    Never happen, but it would be the best thing ever

    This where the refs should be fine for this type of game wake up Silvers the refs are ruining the game. Now if Stotts call out the refs in press conference he would be fine big time.

    We should file a protest. Every loss could have huge implications on the playoff race at this point.

    This fucking league is so soft, I am so sick of these fines. Demarcus cousins got fined like 50k because some fans talked shit and he said some shit back. Big deal. This league has turned into the soft ass social justice warrior league. Can't even make gun hand gestures when making a shot. GOD FUCKING FORBID a player celebrates a shot. It's stupid

    You'd have a better point if it were just one blown call at the end of the game, but there were so many blatant non-calls and phantom calls against Portland.

    And the response is obviously we were playing 5 on 8 all damn game. We can't be expected to shoot 70% all 4 quarters.

    Why is our inability to close the game keeping the refs from making an obvious call that decided ultimately the outcome of the game? So just because we blew a lead, we should be subject to this bullshit? Gimme a break and use logic

    CJ had to shoot out of his mind to get the 21 point lead. You couldn't expect him to keep up that hot pace. The game has peaks and valleys. It's to our CREDIT that we built the lead and then came back from 6 down with 40 seconds left to force OT. That we played game winning defense on Morris and the refs didn't make the call. The Wizards are a GREAT team. And we beat them if the refs make the proper call.

    Naw fuck that, the lead was blown in large part because our best players were playing through foul trouble all night. I said it in the first. The refs influenced that whole game. I'm ok with losing. But not like that.

    It's all good. I don't disagree. I already acknowledged the refs played their part, especially the last two plays (but I was bitching throughout the game). The Blazers were getting hammered by the officials and still building their lead. The Blazers did plenty to contribute to the loss.

    Exactly. Washington should've never been down 21, so they didn't deserve the help.

    Overall he had a good game, but he did have a stretch that hurt us a lot with his shot selection and lack of keeping his teammates involved. We got our lead with ball movement and good shot selection.

    I don't know....I guess I should go back to wanting the Blazers to get a better lottery postion. I hate that I wasted 2.5 hours watching this shit. The refs are never going to let Portland beat GS or SA (not that they could anyway), but it's ridiculous. It makes me want to run onto the court and beat the shit out of them.

    We're not mad at him for putting up those numbers. We're mad at him for constantly driving into the lane recklessly and playing hero ball.

    And guess what? ANYONE on this forum with half a brain KNOWS why exactly we're mad at him. We don't have to fucking explain it; it's right there. Common sense.
