    They showed a stat before the game. The Spurs contest 75% of our shots. The Rockets contested at most 52%. The Spurs are not allowing us to shoot open jumpers.

    We made one change: going under screens for Parker. It was mostly effective except when the refs let Duncan set illegal screens to give Parker room to shoot uncontested. When he was contested Parker only made like 1 shot.

    The part that pisses me off the most is batum came out finally playing like a man and everyone else crawls under a rock and hides.

    Stotts started Batum on Parker instead of Lillard and Parker started shooting 1 of 5. That was a single meaningful adjustment.

    Yup

    Trying to blame this on the refs is foolish

    Terry Stotts is letting his players down right now with his defensive philosophy

    Don't worry guys, if we play okc in the wcf, the refs will hose us too. It's worse then because we're better than OKC, while Portland isn't better than us even without some bad calls.

    Also you guys are gonna get some good homecooking in Portland.

    Then if they are over playing it that much then shouldn't that be an easy adjustment?

    This is frustrating. Duncan is allowed to move so much.

    You're wrong. Sorry. The refs are playing a huge role in this. They aren't calling any fouls when we go into the paint. They're allowing San Antonio to hack the shit out of us and then do whatever they want on offense.

    It doesn't change what the Spurs do on offense at all

    It's done nothing

    In a fair fight, the Spurs probably beat the Blazers. I just want to watch a fair fight. The Spurs don't need the refs help. But they are getting it. Why?

    How do you give up 40 in a quarter?

    And when you are allowed to hack down low, you can take advantage of both

    LMA has shit the bed - two first halves in a row.
    All I can hope is that this is a reversal of the HOU series and he has FOUR historic performances in him starting in G3.

    It's both. SA is doing the exact same stuff they always do. Nothing special from Pop other than he has his team prepared. The refs are piling on and making it harder. And we fuck ourselves with bad turnovers and some spotty effort on the boards.

    I didn't see you around after Lillard killed the Rockets in Game 6. You were proven wrong and you just disappeared. You're not a real Blazers fan.

    No we won't. Go back and look at the personal fouls and the FTA agains the Rockets. We never attempted more FTA at home. In most cases the Rockets attempted 10+ more free throws than us on our own floor.
