[Everything Beagle]

What is the deal with Clingan?

San Antonio targeted him which was really smart because he fouls a lot

 

[HailBlazers]

Corrupt ass refs

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I would play the starters, except switching Williams for Clingan, for almost all minutes second half.

 

[MickZagger]

Cronin is up in the nose bleeds. Papa Dundon must’ve moved him along

 

[ehizzy3]

Timelord had himself a hell of a half

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Nuts that he got his tooth busted and called for a foul on it. Imagine what would happen if someone broke Deni nose... Deni would probably get suspended.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I am going to admit DC is letting the moment overtake him a little and he needs to settle down and just do what he does -- period and fuck the refs when they do the shit they do .

 

[Chris Craig]

Cronin is up in the nose bleeds. Papa Dundon must’ve moved him along

?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Holy shit this reffing is awful.

No ish. But if that’s #4 on Fox, they know the game is over. Can’t have that.

 

[riverman]

Deni needs to learn not to foul with half of a tooth

 

[AldoTrapani]

How was this a foul on Deni? At the very least it’s a no call

 

[PCmor7]

They might not have Wembanyama, but it's pretty clear the Spurs have three extra players tonight. They're even wearing gray and black.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

San Antonio targeted him which was really smart because he fouls a lot

Was it smart? Because, at least in this game against this team, Williams is a lot better.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

What is the deal with Clingan?

I read this in the Seinfeld voice.

 

[Chris Craig]

How was this a foul on Deni? At the very least it’s a no call

They said he moved forward, which he did not. It's a foul because the refs had to save Fox from getting his fourth.

 

[AldoTrapani]

What is the deal with Clingan?

he’s just unplayable in the playoffs so far. One of my favorite blazers this year but man he’s just bad this series. I thought he would have a Kornet type of impact for us

 

[AldoTrapani]

They said he moved forward, which he did not. It's a foul because the refs had to save Fox from getting his fourth.

so why they call it in the first place

 

[riverman]

I frickin' love Rob Will's game. Keeping him is paying off big time!

 

[Chris Craig]

Was it smart? Because, at least in this game against this team, Williams is a lot better.

Yeah, when he almost got his third foul in the second quarter, the refs decided to put it on someone else knowing he would have to sit if they put it on him.

 

[Chris Craig]

so why they call it in the first place

Probably didn't realize he had four.

 

[wizenheimer]

I thought that foul could have gone either way but Fox really didn't alter his shooting motion. Face defense not a thing I guess

Grant is deadly on three's when he just catches and shoots without bringing the ball down

for the refs-hate-the-Blazers crowd: Spurs have shot 9 FT's; Blazers have shot 17. Spurs have 15 personal fouls; Blazers have 11. Spurs have 24 points in the paint; Blazers have 20

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Dundon said next game the coaches will be up in the nosebleeds too - can't afford to let those high price seats go to staff.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

I'm lucky I've been able to watch this on a flight to Japan.

 

[Irish Trader]

Worse call of the night castle jumps off the ground lands and starts dribbling again a walk. Whole arena sees it and screams players stop and refs swallow the whistle

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Bad day so far for Deni -- finishes 3rd in most improved ( not sure I agree with that but whatever ) and then he gets a foul for getting his tooth broken. -- LOL

Only in the NBA (corrupt as Fuck ) can this happen.

 

[MickZagger]

Timelord had himself a hell of a half

I just love that guy

 

[MickZagger]

Those anecdotes don’t tell the whole story

 

[wizenheimer]

Blazers led the game in the first half for 17 of 24 minutes

Spurs at 44% on three's; Blazers at 48%. Team that goes cold from the arc probably loses

Either way? Fox elbowed him in the mouth, breaking a tooth, then strattled him. It's a foul on Fox.

Portland had to play from behind to get wins in Phoenix and San Antonio. Hope they know how to play from ahead.
