    I'd like @dviss1 to weigh in here as well.

    • The foul on Lillard that was the exact same type of foul that Crabbe had on Beal - no call
    • The 'travel' that caused Morris to step out of bounds - no call
    • The actual stepping out of bounds my Morris - no call
    Like @dviss1 , I ref as well and you are going to miss some. But there were 2 refs looking right at the last 2 instances and you would hope one of them would catch one of those infractions. Between those two refs on those last two infractions, they were 0-4. There is a difference between missing some and 2 refs right on a play blowing the entire sequence of multiple violations.

    Did anyone else notice the moving screens by Gortat all damn game? I've seen refs call that if you just stick your hip out a little bit, but was blantantly moving all over the place, he looked like he was doing yoga.

    Calls were bad...especially the out of bounds catch by Morrison with the game on the line....still we should be able to put teams away and not rely on a refs call to determine the win.

    perhaps "tanker crowd" is greasing the refs?

    I am really interested to see how the team reacts in the PHX game today - are they all fired up and we win easy? or are they dejected and listless on the 2nd of a back to back?

    Remember the tailspin that Scott Foster non-call of a goaltend caused against OKC a couple years back? Funny thing is, the NBA changed the ruling on how you could review that. Wonder if the same happens here?

    My issue with too much reviewing is that the last mine of an NBA already can be ridiculously long because of timeouts. My preference would be to perhaps expand reviews IF timeouts were limited to perhaps one full and one 20 second in the last 2 minutes.

    Rely on the refs? Tell me why we should have to over-come a handicap to win a game?

    Honestly the lottery would do us much better this year. It might be worth it with these non calls

    While that call at the end was obvious, it wasn't why they lose a 21 point lead.

    Would this thread even appear had the Blazers won? There is always going to be bad calls in every game. THE BLAZERS WHERE UP 20 AT HALFTIME. Can't blame the refs.

    Well numerous times in here that the NBA official are really not very good. They are trying change some thing next year is it good I guess we will see. The last play should have caught period by the officials there no excuse for it and the worst excuse we didn't see it. So if you didn't maybe you shouldn't be official especially at that level.

    What is so fucking stupid about this is that if it was a buzzer beater, it's reviewable. But because there was time on the clock, it's not????

    How the fuck does this make any sense? Is the NBA run by 3rd graders????

    You forgot the continuation FTs Nurk got. That foul was on the floor. No one bitching about that? Or the 1000 moving screens Meyers set?

    A 12th pick would do us much better than a 15th pick?

    This has literally nothing to do with my post. But that is expected out of you.
