    Typically, once a guy gets a reputation as a shot blocker, the refs let him get away with homicide. The jury is still out whether that will EVER apply to a Blazers player. It looks like Zach may be a test case.

    That's true of defenders in general, at least it used to be. I remember Joel Przybilla's first season in Portland. He was blocking shots and rebounding well coming off the bench, but couldn't stay in the game because the refs were calling every ticky tack foul imaginable on him. I noticed that as soon as he became a starter, the cheap foul calls immediately disappeared and he was suddenly able to average 32 MPG without being in constant foul trouble.

    Back then, basketball-reference didn't exist. So, I was just going by my personal observations, but I checked the data for that season just now to see how accurate my observations were.

    In 2004-05, Joel came off the bench for the first 26 games of the season and was charged with 8.5 fouls per 36 minutes. As a starter, he played in 50 games and his rate of fouling magically decreased to 3.9 fouls per 36 minutes. Same player, same style. If anything, Joel was even more aggressive defensively as a starter, averaging 3.2 BLK/36, compare to the 2.8 BLK/36 he'd averaged coming off the bench. The dramatic decrease in his foul rate, from 8.5 PF/36 to 3.9 PF/36 was due to the way he was treated by the officials. A soon as he became a starter, he suddenly gained respect from the refs and the ticky tack calls vanished.

    There's your test case and supporting data. There is a precedent!

    What's more impressive, Klay making 14 threes in a game or Alfonzo Freakin McKinnie being 4-4? Lol.

    That team is so stacked they should just give them a trophy and let the others have a playoff for the 2nd best trophy.

    No, seriously I'm all homer with the Blazers but if GS cared to, they'd sweep the Blazers again no matter who's coaching them. Especially if Cousins comes back and is even like 90% of what he used to be.

    Well one thing is for certain no one's ever gonna double team Klay because he's on LITERALLY an all-star team. CJ gets double tripled regularly.

    In this particular case, coaching isn't going to change the fact that one is playing with an allstar cast (probably the best team in the history of basketball) and the other one plays with one all-star in Dame...

    Isn't that the 2nd time he's done that (50 points under 36 minutes)?

    Is it 50 points before the 4th, or 50 in 30 minutes? I don't remember the record.

    Sure klay has it easier, but klay does not take as many bad shots as cj (I mean those 1vs3 ISO shots), klay uses his strenght perfectly as Spot up shooter and has a good drive to the Basket
