    Denver called for their 6th and 7th fouls of the night after going 32 minutes with 5 fouls.

    Dame appears frustrated... I'm ready for him to get mad and take it out on Denver!

    I've noticed that Damian is giving up on defensive plays a lot tonight.

    It’s not like Denver isn’t trying to blow the game. They actually suck imo for not taking advantage of this

    does it feel to anyone else, that it's not Portland that has the lead? Like, I look at the score and I'm convinced it's backwards.

    Dude!! Something ain’t right with him today. He seems like he’s to pissed off at the refs to play and looks very disinterested

    If Stotts is challenging the Kanter foul, the only logical reason would be that he's worried about Kanter getting in foul trouble. Not worth trying to save the FTs.

    Both these teams are garbage tonight really. Seems like Jokic is the only one who wants it

    Some scrub named Facu is being allowed to hand check us every time down. What is going on?

    I mean they are allowing some guy named Campazzo to mug Dame consistently yet Kanter puts a hand on Jokic and gets called for a foul.

    Looks frustrated he’s not getting any calls. Every subsequent possession he just labors.

    He needs to get the fuck over it. It is what it is. He needs to put his energy into hitting shots and helping his team. His going for fouls and lack of effort on D is hurting the Blazers.

    Take a few to the face with the refs looking right at you. Here the PA blaring "air ball" after you get checked during your jumper and then you get called for a legit hook, only to see Jokic get away with it on the other end. That's hard to ignore.
