This team owns the blazers maybe just a bad matchup

8 on 5 is always a bad matchup.

 

[KingSpeed]

They should've fucking reviewed it. Mo should've insisted.

 

[julius]

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

All that for saying "go back to Texas"?

 

[TBpup]

Blazers halftime show is just awful!

I always watch something else during halftime...lol

 

[Strenuus]

SO, okay. That being the case, you realize the refs are not on our side. Do you expect them to do the right thing after the last 3 minutes of that half? it's really a moot point.

 

[BrianFromWA]

wow, leading in FG%, 3pt%, rebounds, points in paint and fastbreak points. Add in refereeing, and we're only down 11?

Thank god you showed!!! Now you can reverse jinx us out of this dismal game

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Refs may not be helping, but we're missing a lot of easy, open shots.

 

[TheBlueDoggy]

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 actually, that is the rule. If the last part of your body that touched the ground was outside the line and you are fouled before you make contact with the ground inside the line, it's counted as a three point shot.

or maybe it could be that the Thunder are a better team?

 

[Sinobas]

Well, if you took off from 3 and landed then shot, it should be a travel. Though NBA refs never call obvious travels, all they call is that pivot foot bullshit.

He is a sensitive girly boy.

The karma is gong to break the backs of okc

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.

We've gotten some good looks, but not a lot. We've taken just as many bad shots as good shots. And we're playing stupid on the defensive end - especially on the glass. Lillard's bull-in-a-china-shop drives to the hoop aren't exactly helping either.

 

[KingSpeed]

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

Mo shot a three. He got fouled, but the crooked refs only gave him two FTs.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

My money is on Matthews turning green in the third and snapping Durrants will to live.

 

[EGame]

Refs will set the tone first offensive set for the Thunder and call a foul on us to show everyone who is in charge. It is why sports suck today.

 

[B-Roy]

Well, if you took off from 3 and landed then shot, it should be a travel. Though NBA refs never call obvious travels, all they call is that pivot foot bullshit.

If you're fouled as you're taking off, whether you land shouldn't matter. Play stops when foul occurs.

Exactly. But he shot before he landed.

This is why we should become a hard fouling team to counter balance the refs.

Yeah, but does the clock?

Yeah that's what I originally thought. I thought it was pretty cut and dry, but a few of you were discussing it like that wasn't the case and I started questioning my knowledge of that rule... lol

 

[BigGameDamian]

Kenny Smith on NBATV just said the Portland Blazers doesn't play a format of basketball that fits the playoffs?

 

[Carlito]

They are def a better team regardless of the starts they and spurs will be ahead if blazers don't come back

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Put in Meyers Leonard for a well placed elbow Malone style.

 

[Strenuus]

Blegh.

 

[LuckyShot]

WTF Nic?

 

[magnifier661]

Aldridge!

 

[Carlito]

What the fuck is Kenny smith talking about?
