Cue the Rockets fans:

Donaghy is right on Salvatore. But he's a disgraced ref, so what he says about Foster holds no water.
 
It really wouldn't surprise me, but it most likely means we're getting fucked in game 2.
 
"Salvator couldn't do a 5th or 6th grade girls game without messing up." :biglaugh:

That said, if Foster had money on Portland, then that Lopez foul was even more boneheaded than it already was.

I fully expect this. Although I don't think the calls will be lopsided, instead of 1 more free throw I think they will get 10 more, and it will be throughout the game. Howard getting away with elbows hurts Houston though. They would have been better off getting called for it.

Also funny how he says Foster was only helping us because Salvatore was screwing us, but we didn't really start getting the crap end of the refs until the 2nd half. Donaghy just trying to stay relevant.
 
I think I read Donaghy now runs an online sports betting site so whatever he says has to be slanted in his favor

Of course that's going to happen. Early fouls on one of the Blazer stars, or both, and allowing Houston bump on the defensive end. It's so easy to rig a game as a ref.
 
It wouldn't surprise me if Salvatore was towing the company line and Foster was on his own agenda. I really don't think we were supposed to win that game.

Even though they didn't call the foul on Freeland? I think you are way too obsessed with the refs.

This forum is unbearable to read right now after a WIN

I see a ton of posts criticizing Houston fans, yet the fans here are acting the same way

Because the game has become about the refs, with Houston fans saying we won because of the refs.

Do you really think anyone on here would be talking about starting a petition to replay the last 10 seconds?

Most Blazers fans are talking about it because we're saying it was bad both ways, and in response to the crying Rocket fans.

Big difference from just outright crying/complaining.

If you can't figure that out, nobody can help you.

That's because the NBA decided to isolate one call of the game as being incorrect. That's actually newsworthy for a playoff game. Blame the NBA for it. We could be talking about LMA's 48/16 game, or Lillard's top-tier all-time playoff debut. Instead, it's refsrefsrefs, and that's on the NBA.

The only reason I'm still talking about it is because the NBA for some reason decided to cast doubt on the result of one of their own playoff games. That's just so bizarre to me as a consumer of the NBA.
 
Agreed. I think my comment and yours are mostly related.

I'd understand the NBA's move if it had been an otherwise well-officiated game. But clearly, it was not.

The objective is clear to me. It's so that nobody will say anything when they completely fuck us in game 2.

I'm embarrassed for all Houston Rockets fans after reading that thread. Texas is a football state, other than the occasional LMA.
 
this is going to sound liek areally negative post but its really not.
i didnt know this forum was for just talking about the positive things that surround the blazers. there are plenty of good things coming out of this forum after a great win that we deserved.
the fact that the nba came out and singled out a call for houston IS riduculous.
the fact that the houston fans are actually considering trying to protest the last 10 seconds of the game IS ridiculous.
when tim donaghy comes out and says scott foster hates the blazers(which we all assumed) is definitely something to talk about. and the fact that even he notices salvatore was calling the game heavily in houstons favor. even scott van pelt on his radio show said he would have been thrown out of the game if he was stotts in game 1.
this forum is unbearable? i dont think so, they are topics surrounding the team, would you rather have us say "yeah you're right we should play the last 10 seconds of the game?" zzz
 
I think the forum is concerned about how the game is going to be called tomorrow. And maybe they should be. But there is no substitute for just being better. Portland is a confident, together basketball team right now. LA is on a mission and everyone seems to be following a long. Let me ask this, Dallas a couple of years ago. Do you think they were concerned about officiating and did they let officating effect their overall game when the year they won it all? Lakers did get the calls but that didn't stop Dallas for being better. Houston can get all the calls they want. The question is will they beat a Portland team is on high right now? I don't know even if the calls are lopsided.

As said before, you can't "be better" if your best players are on the bench with foul trouble. Look at the Clippers in game one, they had Blake Griffin out of the game with foul trouble and they lost. Yesterday the Warriors had a bunch of guys in foul trouble early, and they got blown out. That's my concern. If they put a couple fouls on Dame and LA early, it will make winning very hard.

Do you really think the calls going the one direction will be that obvious?
