    Reffing was fine to me. Harden got some dumb calls, but there was a lot of times Harden was playing for a call and forcing contact and the refs held their whistle. When you dig for calls as much as Harden does, you're bound to get at least a few.

    The reason the Blazers lost was Harden and Paul going berserk on contested 3s. If they can do that 4 games in each series of the playoffs, they'll win the title for sure. Tip your hat and move onto the next.

    I was REALLY impressed by Nurkic dominating. Rockets were trying to put Harden on him (who is actually a really good post defender), and Nurkic used his size and just bullied him. He did it to Ariza too, and looked too big for Capella. If Nurk can dominate mismatches, the Blazers will be a tough out for anyone. Also, Harkless has been awesome!

    As long as the Blazers don't fall apart, we're all but locked into the third seed.

    I don't blame every loss on the refs.

    As a small-market though, we usually get the short-end of the stick. Against Houston, it's especially bad.

    Houston's offensive philosophy is 3 or a lay up. They are going to shoot more FTs. Mega media market Charlotte leads the league in FTA. Also in the top 10 are Phoenix, Minnesota, Milwaukee, OKC, Cleveland. We are 16th.

    Lillard is 6th. Top pg, btw.

    That's not relevant to the fact that they had 3 or 4 phantom calls against us.

    I've only had one other account and that was JesusChristSonOfGod, I would just joke around with it every so often.

    Denny banned that account on my birthday last year.

    RIP Jesus!

    Wait. So Blazers win if they just have average games? Ok then what if Aminu, Harkless and Nurkic also just have average games?
