    You think it is unique to the Blazers?
    And that is nit picking.

    Yea get tired of Green he try intimate the referees all the time and yes he could get T every game and probably should be kick other every game. There others in this league but not as bad Green though.

    I love how Green and Warrior fan is so infuriated with Collins.....for being Green-'light'. Ironic...

    The 4th quarter against the Mavericks was the Blazers fault. It's on them, not the NBA. They allowed themselves to lose that game, they handed control to the refs. They did the opposite against the warriors.

    No, that's making a point

    The thing is, Seth plays well against his brother. We know this and Terry (as he did in GS) was wise to give him CJ's minutes in the 4th. CJ did not deserve to go back in. But there was more to it than the Blazers play better with Seth over CJ. Seth didn't even play well this game....in the first half. The difference maker was Jake at PF and Hood at SF. Those two changes IMO make the free flowing ball movement much better.

    Green is an asshole. All he does is yell at the officials all game, mostly without consequence. The league needs to make an example of him. If he wasn't on the Warriors they would.

    Sorry buddy, but I think you're letting your preconceived notions get in the way. There were PLENTY of possessions where Turner came down and called his own number without making a single pass.
    Also, I think it's far fetched to draw any conclusions from that complete aberration of a quarter - that was one of those blue moon quarters.

    Correct me if I’m wrong... I think the Blazers has another streak going when Seth scores 9+ points or more.

    Turner certainly did that (drives me nuts)....but asd CJ's style to that and now you have two players doing it and really stopping the flow. As I said, "much too small of a sample size" (some people keep seeming to miss that part)....but it is as least interesting as an aberration.

    Which ref was Kerr referring to that had relations with his mother?

    I was focusing on Thompson last night. The guy is good no doubt, but he benefits greatly from the Warrior's system. He would never be an all-star on a mediocre team. Yes I would still want him on the Blazers, but his lateral quickness is minimal. He is a smart player and plays great team defense but one on one? Not that good. If he was on the Blazers we would complain about his handles, but in the Warrior offense there is little need for him to put the ball on the floor.

    Say what you want about Turner - but he certainly does not stop the offense, nor does he call his own number an obscene amount of times - he is 9th in USG% on the team and 11th in FGA per 100 possessions - if we only look at rotation players he is 4th in USG% and 6th in FGA per 100 possessions - he is 2nd in AST% - the ball does not stick because of ET.

    Fake Tough guy. Likely, a calculated move.

    I agree that it is a calculated move - but Steve Kerr is not a fake tough guy. The dude went into a fist fight with MJ for crying out loud.

    I like Kerr a lot. I was trying to say that we was ACTING like a FTG, not that he actually was one.
