Not at all. I admire your fanbase's ability to convince yourself that two wrongs make a right (ie, touting the legitimacy of "make-up" calls).
As I've said in other threads, this just delays the inevitable.
Probably because none of them watched the first half, when the Blazers were getting the benefit of 90% of the calls. But if your best argument for fairness is Laker fans, of all people...more power to you.
Tell that to Dallas when they lost to GS as the 1 seed.
Trends matter. Styles make fights. This one's going to be a 9th round TKO, despite the corrupt judges' phony scorecards. Just wait and see.
We still have beaten Portland more times than not so far this season. That trend will continue over the next two weeks.
The same will be true in May as we dispatch the Spurs. You heard it here first.
They're just trying to extend the series; 4 or 5 games is too few for a 4/5 matchup. Plus, it will make Houston's series victory that much more impressive.
We'll say, "Wow, Beelzebub is a much better ice skater than I expected!". Or perhaps, "I always wondered what a cross between bacon and buffalo wings would taste like; now I can find out."
They could also apologize for not calling a foul on Matthews when he shoved Harden out to the 3 point line before his final shot in regulation. If they would have made the obvious call there, there would have been no overtime.
You all can point to all the "missed calls" you want--the NBA made a point to point out the only clear "game-changing" play. I mean come on--face-guarding on a box out? Egregious.
