    They had a few questionable calls.
    But I think overall they weren't any worse than any other game this season, and according to their statistics they get it right 93% of the time so...

    I am curious what this trend of pulling Blazer players arms though. Do Mejri & Oladipo need hugs? Is this why they decided to grab and pull on Nurk & Lillard's arm?
    Olynyk came out and said he wanted some love from Love in 2015. Will these two come out and say the same?

    What a game by Dame, 31 pts @ 66.7%/77.8%/100%, 5 reb, 9 ast (I know he had 4 to, but I'm OK with them when they come with 9 ast).

    Great game by ET 17 pts @ 53.8%, 3 reb, 1 ast, and locked down Barnes to 8 pts @ 23.1%.

    CJ with some mesmerising ball handling tonight, and he flat out embarrassed Yogi. 26 pts @ 47.8%, 4 reb, 2 ast, 1 stl.

    Harden has a way of getting drawing his arm in and then sagging so hard the other player has to pull back violently. The refs are leaving so much nowadays open to interpretation or just letting players get with murder that I think that players are trying to put themselves in the best situations possible to get calls. The Blazers picked the perfect time to hire somebody to help them in this regard. Heck, I am not an expert by any means but that's jut my interpretation.

    I've been watching the Aussie baseball league. It's wonderful. None of the garbage criticisms that come along with having to follow American baseball. And Taiwan and New Zealand are joining next year.

    Yeah. I hope a Pan-Asian league sprouts up. I'd follow it in a minute. I've lost my taste of following American baseball.

    I've been to a couple of games this season, and I'm going again next weekend. Delmon Young is playing for Melbourne, which is a reversal of the trend. Usually players come out to Australia before they play MLB (we used to be, and maybe still are, an official MLB winter league). I really enjoy the All-Star game, the best Australian players in the ABL versus the best Overseas players in the ABL.

    I feel like the song Guitar Man by Jerry Reed probably is autobiographical to you, River. Am i right? :grin:

    My non-guilty pleasure is the Little League World Series. I enjoy watching it more than MLB. It's just so great seeing the kids go out there, and enjoy baseball for the love of the game, and their teammates; not for money, fame, or anything else.
