I think the NBA is in real trouble if they don't work out the officiation situation. We've all joked in the past that the NBA = Pro Wrestling, but part of me didn't really believe it. Now that I believe it, it's making every game UNBEARABLE! The more Donaghy's story trickles through NBA fandom, the more trouble the NBA is going to be in. I thought I'd be able to look past what I read from Donaghy's book, but no, I can't because I believe him, and it's exposing the entire league as FRAUD. I can't take it. I want to throw my lap top through the TV after every bad call. I'm so insanely mad right now. The sport I love the most, the league I love the most, the team I love the most. What's the point? It's all a lie, and the Blazers will never get a fair shake.
We must keep going to the basket and keep the pressure on the refs to make calls. I hope Brandon doesn't just give up and start just taking jump shots.

We're shooting much better than them. We're leading them in rebounding. But we're only winning by 2 because they aren't sending us to the line when we get fouled.
On a related note: from the Magic/Raptors game. For Orlando - Nelson scored 30, Redick 27, Howard 24, and Anderson 20. For the lowly Raps - Bosh had 35, Bargs 28, and Hedo 19. This is called "offense". Do any of our coaches or players have a clue what that means?
God that was painful to watch Travis there. Wide open Greg cutting to the hoop and Travis tries to go one on one only to slip and turn it over.
