    We can thank aminu and Plumlee for this bullshit. Aminu has had three open threes he bricked. Plumlee has had easy buckets he always makes. Not to mention the clips are getting bullshit calls

    I think the thing about the NBA I hate the most is, certain teams (even if they're good) will never get the benefit of the doubt from the refs.

    Portland being one of those teams.

    What do you expect him to do? He is getting trapped, bumped, grabbed... He barely gets any space to do anything. It's redonk and not his fault, he has made the best out of his opportunities.

    watch out, Speed might lecture you about something that might be factually inaccurate about this statement...even if it's a minuscule fact.

    I'm much calmer about aminu missing 3s than I am about Plumlee missing open looks right at the rim.

    Pretty much. If we don't make almost every wide open shot, we're going to lose. They have 19 FTs to our 6 already. Refs are going to fuck us at every chance they get so we have to go take it.

    anyone who is telling dame he shouldn't do this or do that is wrong. It is basically 2 on 5 and the clips can but bodies on cj and dame while ignoring everyone else who is shitting the bed.

    What are the chances we let the score again before the half?

    I don't feel that bad being down 8 at half. That is hardly an insurmountable amount of points.

    Plumlee 1-6, Aminu 1-7, and Crabbe 1-4. Only down by 8. Let's pick up the energy in the second half!!

    For real. Chris Paul runs into Plumlee and flops on the ground like a little bitch and gets the call. That wasn't even close to being a blocking foul. The over and back rule is first to touch last to touch. The flopping little bitch kicks the ball into the backcourt and is able to retrieve it without a whistle. DeAndre Jordan plays well after the whistle snatching the ball from Lillard without a technical foul. That's a fucking Tech through and through!!

    Our need for an All-Star-caliber Big in the Paint is so dire. If Olshey doesn't make moves this off-season, it will be a travesty.
