Game Thread GAME# 64: WIZARDS @ BLAZERS - MARCH 11, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

So let me get this straight....

33 points off 13-27 shooting, 7 assists, 3 rebounds.......

Fuck you Dame. Get the fuck out of here. You fuckin scrub! Horrible. I hope you get yelled at!

I think it would be funny if the refs responded with

"ya, we messed up, but how in the hell do you blow a 21 point lead at home"

Never happen, but it would be the best thing ever

Why is our inability to close the game keeping the refs from making an obvious call that decided ultimately the outcome of the game? So just because we blew a lead, we should be subject to this bullshit? Gimme a break and use logic

 

[BonesJones]

Holy shit. You're kidding me, right?

Tell me....when Dame laid on 51 on GS last year, were we the better team than they were, overall?

Apples to Oranges.

 

[KingSpeed]

So did losing a 21 point lead at home, Terry. Should have never been in that position

CJ had to shoot out of his mind to get the 21 point lead. You couldn't expect him to keep up that hot pace. The game has peaks and valleys. It's to our CREDIT that we built the lead and then came back from 6 down with 40 seconds left to force OT. That we played game winning defense on Morris and the refs didn't make the call. The Wizards are a GREAT team. And we beat them if the refs make the proper call.

 

[Scalma]

Naw fuck that, the lead was blown in large part because our best players were playing through foul trouble all night. I said it in the first. The refs influenced that whole game. I'm ok with losing. But not like that.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

True, but basketball is a game of runs. Peaks and valleys. I still think we had played well enough to win overall. The reffing affected how we defended and how we were able to score, and ultimately affected the outcome of the game. Sorry if this comes off as me arguing with you, I'm just pissed off right now.

It's all good. I don't disagree. I already acknowledged the refs played their part, especially the last two plays (but I was bitching throughout the game). The Blazers were getting hammered by the officials and still building their lead. The Blazers did plenty to contribute to the loss.

Exactly. Washington should've never been down 21, so they didn't deserve the help.

Fuck you Dame. Get the fuck out of here. You fuckin scrub! Horrible. I hope you get yelled at!

Overall he had a good game, but he did have a stretch that hurt us a lot with his shot selection and lack of keeping his teammates involved. We got our lead with ball movement and good shot selection.

 

[Sinobas]

We should file a protest. Every loss could have huge implications on the playoff race at this point.

I don't know....I guess I should go back to wanting the Blazers to get a better lottery postion. I hate that I wasted 2.5 hours watching this shit. The refs are never going to let Portland beat GS or SA (not that they could anyway), but it's ridiculous. It makes me want to run onto the court and beat the shit out of them.

We're not mad at him for putting up those numbers. We're mad at him for constantly driving into the lane recklessly and playing hero ball.

And guess what? ANYONE on this forum with half a brain KNOWS why exactly we're mad at him. We don't have to fucking explain it; it's right there. Common sense.

 

[Mediocre Man]

And the response is obviously we were playing 5 on 8 all damn game. We can't be expected to shoot 70% all 4 quarters.

The ref whine is my favorite whine. They blew the last call. They've gone our way in the past. Can't blow a 21 point lead at home

 

[LuckyShot]

This where the refs should be fine for this type of game wake up Silvers the refs are ruining the game. Now if Stotts call out the refs in press conference he would be fine big time.

The refs are doing what they're told. They only get fined if they are so blatant about it that their boss gets heat.

 

[Mediocre Man]

They blew a call. They have blown calls in our favor too. Get over it.

 

[KingSpeed]

Holy shit. You're kidding me, right?

Tell me....when Dame laid on 51 on GS last year, were we the better team than they were, overall?

Did I ever say that we're a better team than the Thunder? No. But if Westbrook is such a closer, how did we clown them three times. He scored 58 points and then kee at the end when his team needed him most.

 

[LuckyShot]

The ref whine is my favorite whine. They blew the last call. They've gone our way in the past. Can't blow a 21 point lead at home

Just that one call? LOL ok.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

There should be no OT during the regular season. It should be like soccer where games end in ties and everyone gets sent home with a participation trophy and a juice box.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I didn't say "Show me". Jesus Christ.

Sorry - "point to me". And so I pointed out where you said it.

Or was your post meant for someone else? I'm not Jesus Christ.

 

[jonnyboy]

Just because we blew a nice lead doesn't mean the refs get to take the last minute of the game off. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. The players job and the refs job are two different things. The blazers blowing a lead doesn't negate whats expected of an NBA referee. Again, get the fuck out of here with that shit.

 

[BonesJones]

I didn't say "Show me". Jesus Christ.

Point to me where I said "DAME needs to lose his job".

Seriously?

 

[Mediocre Man]

The refs are doing what they're told. They only get fined if they are so blatant about it that their boss gets heat.

Is this really a "the fix is in" statement?

 

[MightyMouseOps1]

100% correct.

 

[illmatic99]

They blew a call. They have blown calls in our favor too. Get over it.

None that decided the game.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Did I miss the part where we got bonus points for winning by 21? 1 or 21 a win is a win and we were up at the time of the no call that cost us the game. And we were up with the no call on the Lillard jumper whether it was a bad shot selection or not.

 

[Cippy91]

So let me get this straight....

33 points off 13-27 shooting, 7 assists, 3 rebounds.......

Fuck you Dame. Get the fuck out of here. You fuckin scrub! Horrible. I hope you get yelled at!

Glad somebody finally called him out...

 

[KingSpeed]

We're not mad at him for putting up those numbers. We're mad at him for constantly driving into the lane recklessly and playing hero ball.

And guess what? ANYONE on this forum with half a brain KNOWS why exactly we're mad at him. We don't have to fucking explain it; it's right there. Common sense.

But more than half the time, he drove in there "recklessly" and scored. He's a human being. He is trying to help us win and did all he could to make that happen. Then the refs fucked us. We have to bounce back against Phoenix tomorrow. This is a tough dense road trip that will decide our season. Have to go at least 3-2.

I don't think anybody is saying that the refs didn't blow the last few possessions?!?!

 

[Sinobas]

They blew a call. They have blown calls in our favor too. Get over it.

Oh yeah, tell us about all the bad calls and non calls that went in Portland's favor...

 

[H.C.]

This fucking league is so soft, I am so sick of these fines. Demarcus cousins got fined like 50k because some fans talked shit and he said some shit back. Big deal. This league has turned into the soft ass social justice warrior league. Can't even make gun hand gestures when making a shot. GOD FUCKING FORBID a player celebrates a shot. It's stupid

Nahh with all due respect DMC can't say to a fan regardless of what she said first. "Fuck you bitch, go suck a cock."
Simply because of what could happen if lets say a male friend of hers gets up and goes after DMC. Or even worse, she gets up slaps DMC and he retaliates. He's lucky 50k is all he got.

Frankly if he said that to a girl I was dating, him and I would have words at the very least.
Granted no girl I know would heckle a player.

 

[KingSpeed]

The ref whine is my favorite whine. They blew the last call. They've gone our way in the past. Can't blow a 21 point lead at home

When have they gone our way in the past?? Tell me a game in which we won on the final play because the refs looked the other way!

I'm much more fun at parties.
