    I'm so glad I didn't have to listen to them. Wheels is so much more fun to listen to then another teams announcers.

    That play is an example of why I don't think Batum is a good defender. His arms were at his sides and he isn't very quick laterally. He's only good against players who are bothered a lot by length (if he uses his arms).

    Tank strategy by PHX? What kind of D was that?

    Really didn't think we'd win this.

    Agree on all counts. But I got jacked up because that was such an ugly game that we actually won.

    For most the game, they were okay. But they went all in in homer status the last 3 minutes

    Good for them. Let them cry. Blazers are 6-2 heading out for a 4 game road trip, and the next 7 of 9 are on the road.

    Time to gel, Blazers!

    Not by Batum. He played great D on Bledsoe.

    The sad thing is that we play these assholes AGAIN before the month is over.... three times in the span of a month.

    Touching the net while the ball is in the cylinder happens every single game, and it's almost never called. It's only called if someone jerks the net and it jars the rim and effects the shot. The only time I remember it being called otherwise was when Sabonis' finger grazed the bottome of the net against the Lakers. That was complete BS.

    Exactly. The refs gave the suns home cooking throughout the entire game. They have nothing to botch about

    If anything, there was some offensive goaltending.

    oh crap that sounds horrible. Going .500 in the next 9 would feel like a win.

    He forced the miss on the opposing PG who has the most points in the NBA in 4th quarter this season. On most teams, one of the two PGs on the floor would be defending the opposing PG.

    I'll take Nic shadowing Bledsoe while trailing him with his huge ass arms over Mo calling for LA/Lopez to switch on a pick.

    So TRob had a break out game of sorts. But he was 3-9 at the FT line? Ouch. He should head right back out onto the court and shoot about 300 more.

    Whether it's called or not is whatever. It "technically" is a goaltend, but it was the right move for the refs to swallow their cum *cough* whistle on that last possession because Batum touching the net probably didn't affect the shot. Not to mention they were jobbing us the whole night. Great game regardless.
