    Home vs Road and 1st quarter vs last second of the game. It's always been that way and shouldn't have come down to that at all. I agree it's the same play but location and time make a difference no matter what the refs may say.

    That is complete bullshit. A foul is a foul no matter how much time is left. I guarantee that Harden or LeBron would get the call.

    No. You know that isn't true. The league will say it's true until they're blue in the face. But it's not.

    You are correct about Harden, Bron, Kobe Jordan etc.

    Are you really trying to defend Scott Foster?

    Not in the least. But league wide, there is a difference of 'Home vs Away' calls and also calls in the first part of the game versus the last minute of the game. I'm not saying it is right in the least, but that's the way it is and has been for decades.

    Problem with that, however, is that it's really not the same play; there are some pretty significant differences between the two. Zach jumps from outside the circle; Kleber is inside the circle. Zach keeps his arms up the whole time; Kleber's left arm comes down and hits Dame's right arm as he's releasing.

    Quite simply, Zach's arguably shouldn't have been called at all, and Kleber's clearly should have been. Seems to me that the ref got it wrong in both instances.

    And he's among the worst. Shouldn't be an excuse. A foul is a foul.

    I completely agree. But also, it's not an excuse....it is the way the league has been for years. Just like Player A will get a foul called on them but not for them for the same thing that Superstar B gets no foul called on them and many calls for them.

    It's not right, fair or equitable....but it is the way it is.

    Ah, good morning sunshine. Always good to see the take from the negative side.

    This is where the game was lost...

    Stotts thought the Blazers were going to coast to an easy victory after the 3rd so he left Dame in. You don't bring Dame back for the start of the 4th no matter how hot he was in the 3rd. We just rested him a whole game for fucks sake. Why make him play 15 minute stretches? The 2nd unit actually played decent in the first half so why not trust them? Give Dame a 4 minute rest and bring him back at 8 minutes or so instead of taking him out at 9 minutes and bringing him back with 5 minutes to play.

    How the fuck did we not run plays through Nurk at all either?

    For the game they took 46 percent of the shots. I do agree with you but it not the first time these two have done and still no accountable with these two.

    That and the fact the entire league is out to get us makes me wonder how we ever win a game?
