Lillard unhappy with officiating lately

[Strenuus]

This comes from the Philly game, but he is saying it's also stemming from recent games:

I don't want to look at it like, I'm this person or I'm that (so) you're supposed to call these fouls," he said. "I think a foul is a foul. I know it's tough. They've got a tough job, man. But I'm not one of these guys out here trying to sell them on every call ... I'm playing to score the ball. I ain't trying to be out here hitting the ground every other play, because that's not what I'm going out here trying to do. I'm not going to be falling out the air to get two free throws and hitting the ground the way I'm hitting the ground. I'm getting hit. I don't want to keep doing it.

We've never gotten calls in the history of the franchise...it's a non story if you're a long time fan because we never get ref love.....ball don't lie was invented in Portland by Sheed.....it's a tradition

I have seen what he is talking about for a while now. I mean some games he has gotten calls but for the most part he doesn't get the star calls these other guys get. It's frustrating to watch meanwhile somebody like harden doesn't have to do much to get a whistle. Dame actually gets hit, I don't think I have seen him try to sell calls. Harden lives off selling calls

He hit the floor hard after no calls against Philly about 4 times. Of course that's not why we lost the game, but it didn't help.

Portland has actually been in the top half of the league in FTA the last 3 years. For a jump shooting team, that's pretty good.

If we're #1 we still get screwed. Quit whining and play the game.

Well so far teams haven't had to guard Nurk because he's going too fast and airballing lay ups
