    Well, it wasn’t quite a sweep, but the 76-77 Blazers went 1-3 against the Lakers in the regular season and then swept them in the playoffs.

    @dviss1 How was being at that game??????????????? You owe @Orion Bailey big time for that moment!

    I have a question for you about the way Schroder defended Dame this series. Every single time down the court he had at least one of his hands on Dame at all times, both on the ball and off the ball. He's not really fouling or using it forcefully but it was always fucking there. If you were the ref would you continue to let him get away with it as long as it isn't really a foul or what would you do to get him to stop doing it? I guess you could call it a couple times on him and make him adjust. I just don't think a player should be allowed to play defense like that.

    The NBA level you let more of the hands go. Especially if the contact is marginal. There are lots of calls I'd make in a high school game that wouldn't be made at the next level. I just tell them "hands free" or "hands off".

    If an advantage is gained you might come away with a whistle.

    I was looking for a different thread to bump... but I think this one deserves a bookend.
