I think Nate did a good job making it public on how badly one side the calls were being made. I'm not going to say that Portland didn't foul Dirk, but Portland was getting fouled a lot and it was a no call. I don't want all the calls only going in Portland's favor, but at least call it on both ends. I'm going to watch it very closely. If this is called unfairly again, I would like to start a "Class Action" lawsuit against the NBA.

Don't worry, the fix is in. In my newest conspiracy theory, I notice the fact that the media is acting like the Dallas/Blazers series doesn't exist. Not just that the refs were bad, but are acting like the game didn't even happen. I think it's one big conspiracy to get people to not think about the series so Stern can fix it in his liking. You better believe all the major media publications are in on it. The Fix is in.
That video was insane Westnob. I kind of wish I didn't watch it. Hard to look ahead when you're still looking behind.
Do you ever watch South Park? Did you see the episode where Mr Garrison invented a way to travel without flying? You might have to ride the unicorn like that.
Some of the stuff in the video was not accurate, they were freaking out over good calls. But some were bad calls. I don't worry too much about it, but it's nice to see some evidence.
I was trying to stay calm about it but that video just pissed me off even more. Especially the shit with Dirk and his elbows. Im not saying its anything new for Dirk but I agree with what I saw from Dave at BEdge. I hope Wallace has had enough and lets Dirk know all about it. If we are going to get robbed we may as well go out swinging.
IMO if the Blazers had actually played up to their potential we wouldn't have this problem. Here's to them stepping it up in Game 2, stomping on the Mavs, and getting the W.
The reffing was good and fair for three quarters. Dirk got fouled yes but so did LMA and they were just letting them play. I thought for 3 quarters we had a fairly well "let them play" game. Then the fourth came in and they started giving a lot of iffy calls to Dirk and continued to let LMA get POUNDED by Chandler who should have fouled out in the 4th for the way he was playing.
it's pretty frustrating to watch the national broadcasts of games because they so rarely show replays of what appears to be bad calls and worse yet they have the blathering commentators backing up those calls as legit. Most of the calls on the link here I thought were bad when they happened but I don't think one of them got a replay on ESPN gosh I can't imagine why national networks don't do replays of what appear to be questionable calls when they're made... STOMP
I just watched that video and holyshit... they let LMA GET MUGGED and no freaken calls and then the 4th quarter... Now i'm really pissed, stupid video.
It's home court in the playoffs, you got to go into the game expecting they will get the calls. Blazers should be able to overcome that.
I expect that the refs and Stern don't much give a damn what Nate had to say. If the Blazers want to win this series without homecourt advantage against a large market team then they need to think about being up by ten at the end of games.
Yeah, but that still does not make it right. The refs just stunk it up. That piss poor excuse for officiating was fucking blatant, in your face bullshit.
