    That sub had no bearing on the game. Nurk/Melo were not involved and Powell fouled him either way.

    Do you think Booker still drives knowing nurk is in there?

    The refs let both sides play physical. Yeah Dame should have got a lot of calls. That being said, Melo hand checked Booker to get him to travel or double dribble (got him on the arm and body).

    I'm not really worried about seeding, as long as we avoid the play in. If you look at 1-8, the matchups don't necessarily look easier the further up you go.

    Dallas will be the 5th seed and we tied with Lakers and get the 6th seed (hopefully Denver rest their players) then sweep by the Clippers

    Unbelievable that Stotts challenged that call. There is NO WAY it was going to be changed. All Powell they have to do in the replay is see Powell making any contact (which he did twice) and it will stand as called.

    HORRIBLE (emotional....I hope it gets changed) decision.

    To not at least sub Nurk in during the final FT's so he could be the inbounder was another Stotts brain fart.

    Despite a valiant fourth quarter performance by Dame, the Blazers suffer a heartbreaking loss against the Suns. The Blazers Uprise Postgame Show will breakdown what happened.

    God that loss just left such a terrible taste in my mouth. Utter stupidity in the last 5 seconds cost us the game.

    No reason to worry about seeding. This game proves we are still bad against good teams. The only team I could realistically see us beating in the top 4 is Denver, but even that doesn't have much of a chance of happening.

    He did the whole game, why would he not? The play was clearly for him to drive, and he didn't even go to the rim, instead pulled up for a long two. Powell should never have fouled him. Hand in the cookie jar.

    The challenge was the worst part. Also RoCo missing two free throws. Also inbounding to RoCo in the fucking first place. It was clear they went that route because he was the easiest player to inbound to.

    No it wasn't. Refs were out to get us tonight. It wasn't even really a foul and should have been a successful challenge. It weak ass shit. By challenging it we played I to the refs hands and allowed them to decide the game. Never allow the refs to decide a game.

    Fuck I hate the clippers too worst possible matchup. I guess a quick series will speed the needed changes. Sad loss

    That was a bummer.

    1:04 shooting foul on Nurk
    0:49 CJ misses wide open floater
    0:45 foul (80ft from the basket) on CJ
    0:32 shooting foul on Nurk
    0:05 Roco misses BOTH free throws
    0:02 shooting foul on Powell

    The guys had a chance to lock this win up, but failed to execute 6 times in the last minute.

    He's an 82% free throw shooter. He should have made at least one. He just flat out choked.

    There are now 3 teams that are really excited about tonights results.

    The Suns because duh.

    The Mavs because they're getting the 5th seed.

    The Lakers because it improved their chances of winning the 6th seed.

    There are 3 teams that are pissed about tonights results.

    The Blazers because duh.

    The Clippers because they now might face the Lakers in the first round instead of Portland

    The Nuggets because they now face the Mavs in the 1st round instead of Portland.

    Lol at people arguing the Powell call. His arm was on Booker's hip and he even tapped Bookers arm going up. I know in most situations they don't call that with the game on the line, but expecting the refs to overturn that call when it was already called is just....lol.
