    This game isn't really that bad. The Blazers shitty shot selection and wet toilet paper defense are 80% of their woes.

    They've given Damian some bailout calls this quarter too. It's just a run-of-the-mill poorly officiated game. I don't see a bias in the general shittiness. The problem is that the Blazers are letting the Lakers get into the lane at will and the refs are calling a lot of ticky tack shit.

    I'm not disagreeing with that. But I think it's also hard to ignore the screw job by the refs on top of it.

    I respect your opinion, always have. I’ll agree to disagree. This league wants nothing more than to see the Lakers and Ball succeed on the national stage this early in his rookie season. This was/is a benchmark game for their beloved franchise. It stinks to high heaven.

    That would require live-ball stops . . .

    I miss super young Dame that would try to pack it on someone once a game.

    I'm sure the league would love for the Lakers to be relevant again and for Ball to become a star. That said, I haven't seen anything in this game that leads me to believe there's some conspiracy from the zebras. The Blazers are playing like shit. Full stop.

    It's nice to see that Ed has become a passable free throw shooter.

    So Stotts can recognize the difference between good defense and shitty defense. Then the real question is why does he keep allowing his team to play shitty defense?

    See, Davis going into the lane and throwing up wild shit in the lane gets a foul call. That's how they've been calling it all night, the only problem is that the Blazers haven't taken advantage of this fact.
