GAME THREAD: THUNDER @ BLAZERS - 12/4/13, WEDNESDAY, 7 PM (PST), KGW

I'm having trouble because these bullshit okc guys aren't playing it

Oh I just replayed it and you are right. He was behind the line

What? He was at least 3-4 inside... Durant himself was in front of the line reaching IN.

 

[blue9]

The fact that we're not down 18+ is amazing. Yeah, sure, we're getting hosed on several calls. But we're also defeating ourselves. If we weren't playing so stupidly we'd at least be tied going into half, despite the bad calls.

I saw it, like watching it on my tv

 

[Sinobas]

Lillard needs to learn to penetrate and kick it out to the open man, he goes in so often and shots a layup and falls down trying to get the call...well most often he ends up missing and the other team fast breaks it the other way...

 

[Strenuus]

He took off from behind the line, off one foot. Like the Larry Bird shot against us in 92.

Well, when the contact happened he was well inside. That's all that matters. two shots is right.

Other than that, these refs are a fucking joke tonight. Stern in the building?

 

[Strenuus]

Anyway, we're going to win. By 4.

 

[julius]

I'm a little concerned about the lack of foul calls that Lillard gets, when he's fouled at the hoop. Not that he should get FT's every time, but it's frustrating to see it not get called evenly.


Although whats the point of expecting that.

We are getting a lot of good looks IMO. Just not falling and of course if you breath on Durant he gets to the line yet Lillard gets put on his ass and nothing happens.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Durant is a douche. Fuck Westbrook and all of oklahoma. Derek Fisher the biggest asshole in the league is teaching them well on how to be an asshole.



hoop fam

Actually no, if he took off from behind the 3pt line, it's a 3pt shot, a foul on a 3 point shot is 3 fts.

 

[magnifier661]

Lmao I forgot I have appletv. Changed to watching the blazer broadcast

 

[BigGameDamian]

I still wish the NBA would more instant replay.

None of our stars lately have. Roy hardly got superstar calls too and he was darn near one pre-injuries. Pretty much our guys are risking there bodies for nothing since we never get the calls.

You mean 15

 

[BrianFromWA]

Re-watch it. You are wrong.

 

[Sinobas]

Somebody outta tackle Kevin Durant by his dick. If they're going to call fouls, may as well make it count.

LMA's knee needs to make another appearance...

 

[KingSpeed]

No. He took off from one foot behind the line and we went flying into the free throw line, but he took off from behind the three point line.

 

[Strenuus]

Actually no, if he took off from behind the 3pt line, it's a 3pt shot, a foul on a 3 point shot is 3 fts.

So if you jump from the 3 pt line and release the ball at the ft line it's 3 pts? That's exactly what Mo was doing. The contact happened inside the 3, along with the release of the ball.

 

[riverman]

41 pt qtr would be good coming out of halftime

THANK YOU

 

[Blazer Fanatic]

I'd whine about the refs, but when you shoot 2x as many 3-pointers in the first half, and the fouls are even, it seems reasonable to me that OKC has the edge at the line.

I am getting sick of watching Lillard get hammered at the rim after blowing by PGs, though.

Personal fouls called being even does not mean the game is being called consistently or fairly or accurately.

What dick?

 

[KingSpeed]

So if you jump from the 3 pt line and release the ball at the ft line it's 3 pts? That's exactly what Mo was doing. The contact happened inside the 3, along with the release of the ball.

Yes. He released the ball before he landed. It's all about where you jump from. That was a three, he was fouled on a three, and it should've been three freethows. The picture proves it.

The point where you start your shot determines if it's three. Example, if you had the ability to dunk from the three point area, it would be worth 3

 

[LuckyShot]

I am so confused with all this arguing about Mo's shot...

 

[Strenuus]

You mean 15

Nah. Not going away from my win by no bigger than 7.

It only matters where you take off, not where you are in the air or where you land. If he takes off from beyond the line and hits the shot with no foul, it is a '3'. Because there was a foul, there should be 3 FTs.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Blazers halftime show is just awful!
