    But that is no mystery and no surprise. The players are ALWAYS allowed to be more physical and there are less fouls called in the Playoffs. Blazers just aren't being very physical. That is a Stotts thing....nice guy....great guy...but where is the toughness?

    That's how playoff basketball is always officiated. Adjust to it or loose.

    Tell that to Patty. The ref's sure didn't put up with Patty's head getting physical with Davis' shoulder. Or Aminu swiping at air. Or six other phantom calls. It sure seems like who is allowed to get physical in the playoffs depends on the script. In this case, I have a funny feeling the story line is: "Unibrow Wins First Playoff Series". That will be so heartwarming. I can't wait for the ending.

    If the Blazers want any chance of winning, the bigs need to start setting some decent screens. The Pelican's guards are not having any issue getting through the screens and are sticking with the blazers guards. If they can't screen the guards off, the blazers are going to continue to be in trouble.

    Yes. I do think we'll steal a game. But honestly, at this point, I'd rather we didn't.

    But let's be realistic, Pelicans playing Fantastic, i expect we can win 1 Game in new orleans, but they win this series. They play much better than us

    Oh Boy Reading all the Comments on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter about Lillard really hurts. These last two Games from him destroyed his great Season completely. From LillardTime to choker
