    Hubris. It's a tale as old the ancient Greeks.

    It just stings more because it was to the team many of us hate the most.

    We didn't just get beat, we got absolutely man-handled in our own house.

    One of my first (and only) posts was commenting on how the Blazers seem to get so mentally out-of-it, so quickly. More so than other teams. I kind of took some heat for writing that.

    Yet it really seems true. It's like there's a light switch on this team. From off to on, on to off. No middle ground.

    Bummed.

    Your replay cost us the game.

    Just kidding. What's the resolution of the cameras? Why can't you zoom in more frame by frame?

    Did that suck or what? Talking to the ref showing him the best angles......tough job sometimes actually.

    That doesn't tell me much.

    Can you stop frame by frame and zoom in to see who touched the ball last?

    What will happen if the league goes to a central replay official? Will they just take the raw feeds from both broadcasts and look it or will they only see what you send them like you do now to the officials now?

    No, i haven't got killed yet; despite the fact that I run a FB community page called Save democracy in Ukraine, despite the fact my exwife said in a newspaper interview that I am an American spy and despite the fact that I am a little self-destructive and am afraid if I actually see some of these Russkie soldiers I am gonna yell "fascisti"! at them. But I am really nervous most of the time and usually stay with friends, even though it means I will be at an ip address that is blocked from this site.

    Obviously puts the awful loss into perspective. Best wishes to you and yours - Putin is clearly insane.

    By a team we should have beaten by 20. They beat us because they wanted the win more than we did. On talent, they shouldn't have even been on the same court. We let them do that to us.

    We got outscrapped.

    I don't care who you are, if you are on an NBA roster you are a phenomenal basketball player compared to the rest of the universe of basketball players. Some are just more phenomenal than others. But they can all ball. If you just let them have their way with you, they will. Put a bunch of hungry young players fighting for their dream, playing in a D'Antoni system, up against some overconfident 'entitled' veterans, and this is what you get.

    She said this in a paper there, or here? A couple of years ago, Russian law changed so that NGOs had to register as foreign agents. If Russia takes control of the Ukraine, I would think they'll allow you, but make you register.

    If you is de wookEE, dat makes me de wookER.

    If that DOES happen, it won't be for awhile and they will just have our cameras anyway. We can blow the image up, you guys have seen us do it in the past. You lose resolution if you do to much.
