Game 9: Portland vs Lakers 7:00pm SNW

Jesus another missed 3 if we just hit 1 or 2 more this would be a whole different ball game. Even with the insane amount of missed 3's we have had this game.

Oh. Scott Foster is reffing a game with a critical blown goal tending call. Color me shocked.

It's amazing that McGee has been given such the benefit of the doubt on blocks I think a few of them have gone to the glass first before he touched it.

Are you talking about the Lillard dunk? I don't know the specific rules for goaltending but it seemed like it hit the rim and then McGee hit it away. Seems like that is some sort of rule violation.

I haven't noticed the others, that was really the only one I've had a problem with all game.

Yes I'm talking about that non-call. Scott Foster is our old friend whose blown call against Aldridge versus OKC several years ago led to a complete rule change, that's how atrocious it was.

Yep, we get screwed pretty regularly from calls like the fact that they completely missed Curry getting grabbed by that dumb ass Wizards player who was on the bench. Guy should have gotten more than a fine should be suspended for a game or two for something that **** bush league.

[d-train]

I guess goal tending will no longer be a call they make in the NBA.

I want to see that again. It might be a good block if Lillard still has his hand on the ball.

[monopoman]

If one more 3 went in this game Lakers would be up 1 right now. So for Lakers to even be in this game they need us to shoot a completely horrible rate from 3 point land. There team looks pretty pathetic.... Those that think the Lakers are contenders are going to get reality checked when they might not even make the playoffs.

The issue with putting Meyers on the floor to stretch it is that doesn't work because everyone knows he's only going to shoot it if no one's in ten feet of him because his release is so, so, so slow. Like a wind up clock slow.

That and he's god awful at everything else other than screening.

Frustrating loss. The fight back in the 4th was nice, but they just couldn't get it within 1 possession. That Scott Foster goaltending blunder is like a meme at this point. Seems to happen to Portland quite often.

[The Sebastian Express]

For the record I don't actually have any issue with the reffing in this game. I thought there were some really iffy no calls in the third when the Blazers were physically being assaulted; but, I felt those were repaid in the fourth including a crucial time where Ingram clearly nearly lost a hand to a hard foul that was played off like a steal. I just have issue with Foster's questionable goal tending (non) call, in particular because he's got a history of making terrible calls like that in many other games and he's got a shady past. TBH I don't know how he's still got a job with all that was implicated against him.

[The Sebastian Express]

And the loss doesn't bother me outside the streak ending. I think the only time the Lakers played really well was the third, and we just honestly missed a lot of open shots, ones that were in rhythm that we don't normally miss.

So I just shrug it off and I think if the Lakers would've lost with that lead Luke Walton probably would've been fired after the game. So you're welcome, Bill!

[Wizenheimer]

I was hoping for 17 in a row over the Lakers, but 17% from the arc can spell doom. Blazers have lived by the three so far...they died a little tonight.

Meyers is just hopeless. I can't believe he's making over 10M a year. On the other hand, in 3 minutes he had he same number of rebounds that Zach did 18 minutes. Play like a big man Zach...

Laker bench outscored the Blazer bench 51-25

anybody else notice that Mike Barrett appeared in a commercial during the game?

[Epicurus]

Nik and Seth shot 1-8 from 3 land. They have combined for over 50% previously from 3line. They were due for a poor shooting night. Too bad it was that same game. BTW, lot of rim outs from the Blazers tonight. I think they would have put the Lakers away by half time if those rimmers would have fallen.

Spoiler:

If you came here just to gloat go back to your own board dude. God most Laker fans are **** so obnoxious they win 1 game out of 17 against the Blazers and they act like they just won the championship. Most self inflated fans in the **** NBA by far, you would think they were the ones on the court every game.

I also will be betting against the Lakers in any series they get into if they actually make the playoffs which may not be happening.

Every team basically lives by the 3 these days, if Golden State shot our rate from 3 point land against any opponent that we had tonight they would be hard pressed to win it. Hitting 3's also opens up the inside game because then they have to start really chasing down our shooters from the 3 point line.
