    I know you can't get down by 25 points and expect to win, since the margin for error is so slim, but to be fucked over to the tine of FIVE points in the closing minutes is beyond frustrating.

    So sick and tired of subpar NBA officiating. When will we ever see a rating system to hold these guys accountable?

    And Washington slammed the ball at the end, which Alonzo Gee tried to do and missed.

    Never. The refs promote the NBA's stars. They're the mouthpiece for the commissioner.

    The Blazers lazily got 25 down, then, as usual, played well only when they're scared. They got back within 3, then went back to lazy mode, missing every shot, almost all of which were lazy 3-point attempts. Aldridge was the only one taking shorter shots in the 4th quarter, and not coincidentally, the only one making shots.

    But what stars? An over the hill Pierce? Lukewarm John Wall? We have the bigger stars and we STILL get fucked over by the refs.

    Well this is the second east coast game I've missed and we lost both. Probably good for my health that I didn't see it. Back to back game on the road, Wiz desperate to get a win. Oh well, get the next one! Go Blazers!

    Wall and Pierce are bigger names than Lillard and Aldridge to the common NBA fan.

    Common fan's players winning = Better for company.

    You're finding solace by believing that we lost to an inferior team because of one call made many plays before the game ended. How may minutes and seconds were left when that happened?

    So I'm guessing Allan Crabbe didn't play tonight?

    A loss is a loss. You guys are too happy. Lillard is no McCollum.

    I often wondered if he was a fan being from Seattle and all. Thought he come in for just show his wit and garner the attention. But after seeing that fire and frustration. I now know better.

    Lillard is a bigger star than both Wall and Pierce. I don't see Pierce in the State Farm commercials. And Aldridge is at least as well known as Aldridge. Stop with the inferiority complex. I mean Lillard is on the fucking cover of NBA Live!

    Because of Stotts' costly technical. That really sucked. You don't get a tech at the end of a close game. Not smart.
