    Not to mention Thomas Robinson's obvious clean block called a goal tend. I don't understand those who say the refs weren't responsible. Where are the bad calls in Portland's favor? Big difference between 2-1 and 3-0. Portland could easily lose this series now. The refs have fucked us in every god damn game.

    Seriously, do it. Esp with Aldridge dragging Howard out.

    Haynes is awfully confident.

    I personally think Portland is the better team. Why things happen as they do. No clue. But I expect them to win.

    Yet another great interview with Dame. "Nobody said it would be easy"

    People can put their heads in the sand all they want but the NBA wanted to avoid a sweep at all costs.

    Agree on the LMA one, but not Dame... that was a charge. Thought the refs did pretty well overall. We just seemed tired a few possessions...

    Again, this came down to a broken ass play and a scramble and a guy hitting a 3. I think we still take it in 6. Never did think we were going to sweep. Being up 3-0 would have been super nice, but I'm not going to lose a whole bunch of sleep. We still got one at home... winning sunday up 3-1 gives me a ton of hope.

    Well...I agree with you. Every time we took control, the refs did just enough to take it back.

    I also think the Blazers could have overcome that, by making their shots at the end. They kind of choked.

    I predicted Blazers in 6, so we are back on track for that.

    Just have to play with confidence on Sunday and take care of business.

    Dame was already in the air when Harden slid under him. That's a blocking foul.

    I think it was a charge on Dame too, the problem is James Harden had just done the EXACT same thing to Mo Williams on the other end and it wasn't called.

    I wonder how much money they lose if there are only 4 games compared to 7?

    Yes. The overhead angle showed that pretty clearly.

    Maybe they need a 4th ref overhead?

    ;)

    Did like how Portland kept their originality tonight and didn't white or black out the arena.

    The Pregame was awesome. Unfortunately the Blazers came out flat.

    Maybe the Led lights and ovation overwhelmed them
