Game Thread GAME# 53: BLAZERS @ GRIZZLIES - FEBRUARY 8, 2016 - MONDAY, 5:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

I refuse to referee NBA basketball. I'm too much of a purist to not call traveling. I also don't need to have as many conversations about NOTHING. I don't really want to have a conversation about a black and white call. You stepped on the line. STFU.

But you could job other teams for the greater good of the 503!

you missed the point my friend...this is exactly why you need to ref in the big show....and CALL TRAVELING!!

All the more reason for you to ref NBA games. Be the change!

It's a Good ol' boy's system that is ran by a Union. That's a hard nut to crack.

There's not one dollar amount that can buy my integrity from me.

Still can't believe the ref's called that push by Barnes a foul on Dame...

Really curious to see the referee report tomorrow

You'll be happy to know that apparently the refs only missed one call last night in the last two minutes of regulation and all of OT combined...

I disagree...he's playing a 10 man rotation and in my view..has used a really balanced rotation..last few years, yeah...not this one though

I agree the 10-man rotation is good, and it's great we have such a good/deep bench.
I actually meant the amount of time that our players are on the court at any one given time.

Many times this season I have seen where a player is laboring, most noticeably Dame and Plumlee, at the and of their stint on the court - making them less effective.

The players aren't robots and shouldn't be adhered to a rigid sub pattern. I think if Stotts would recognize the fatigue in the players and shorten some shifts on the court accordingly, then we probably would see more productive play from them.

...Marc Gasol breaks his foot in this game, out indefinitely (looks like the Blazers have a chance at catching Memphis now too)!

It was pretty dumb for him to play last night...went from a foot problem to a break in a loss..bet they really regret that now

Currently at 30-22, do the Griz still make the playoffs?

I'd say no.
