Game Thread GAME# 65: BLAZERS @ WIZARDS - MARCH 16, 2015 - MONDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Sinobas]

NBA needs to review goal tends.

 

[VenomXL]

Bummer to have this huge comeback squashed by bad calls.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Ha. I hate the NBA.

If the Blazers didn't exist I wouldn't watch.

 

[Strenuus]

Make a 3, then try to get a steal...

 

[magnifier661]

Let's keep this within 5 so the league will publicly say how we got jobbed

I think the rule is, it has to be at 5 STARTING with 2:00... if not, there's no review.

 

[LuckyShot]

It feels like you could make a YouTube lowlights video of the times we've been screwed over by botched goal tending calls at the end of close games. Just in the past few years.

 

[Strenuus]

Way too long.

Silver is what I thought he is... Sheep dressed as a wolf. All his rules look good but the fine print is bullshit.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm so discouraged at how badly the refs influenced this game. It's completely different if the game was called correctly.

Most of them against OKC

 

[Strenuus]

This is not a calender loss, this is a lack of NBA integrity loss.

I think you mean wolf dressed as a penis.

 

[VenomXL]

On to the next one. Hopefully they come out with a vengeance.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Had the momentum, were playing well, and gifted +5 by the refs on two indefensible calls.

 

[Strenuus]

In my mind, that was a hell of a game by the Blazers. 1-1. But, if we had the refs doing their job correctly, we had a damn good shot at 2-0.

 

[LuckyShot]

If the Blazers didn't exist I wouldn't watch.

Neither would I. Blazer games are the only games I watch in my house when I have control of the TV for a few years now. I still generally follow the NBA so I know about the other teams, I just quit choosing to watch the games.

 

[kingslayer]

Love the fight these Blazers have in them, sadly the refs had to stifle some of that.

Bring on Miami.

Well I think we did have it down to 5 with 2 left

We also gave up that 5 point swing in the first half off the and one miss by Beal. So, one was us, two was the refs. Unacceptable.

 

[Strenuus]

We were down 10.

 

[magnifier661]

We were down 10.

Ugh all part of the NBA's evil plan

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I hate losing on East coast trips...now I have all night to think about the fuckery that went on.

 

[Strenuus]

This. We're fine. We showed heart, which I thought we may have lost in the 2nd quarter. I'm okay with this ref loss, somewhat. We'll keep pluggin' away and do fine on this road trip.

 

[Strenuus]

Ugh all part of the NBA's evil plan

It was all really convenient.

 

[jlprk]

Lillard is the most overrated player I've seen in 40 years. He is consistently a piece of shit. Batum is inconsistently the same. In the 4th quarter, Batum had one spectacular steal, then a couple of minutes later a lazy turnover followed on the next play by a boneheaded lazy foul, then a couple of long long misses, then went quiet for half a quarter licking his wounds. Batum, who plays like Joe Cool would, is all ups and downs, mostly downs.

... what?

I sure hope the Blazers file a complaint to the NBA

 

[Strenuus]

+'s

Batum had another solid game.

Afflalo is dependable

LA was being LA

-'s.

Goal. Tending.
