They give the coaches a challenge but can't get a call like his right?

Embarrassing.

CJ going in for those fines too.

I am reminded of this Kelly Oubre "lane violation"

Blazers have a right to be furious. They're fighting to make the playoffs so they need every win they can get, and the refs just robbed them of a chance in the end.

The sad thing about this is that Lillard will probably be fined a hefty sum, while the NBA will just issue some half-assed apology and the refs probably won't even be suspended.

Mitchell is such a dunce lol. Utah will lose in the first round yet again, they displayed no mental toughness at all tonight. They lost to an undermanned Nuggets team and needed a little extra help to beat an undermanned Blazers team.

Watch on YouTube

Just shows you the game moves too fast for the refs. Can't call it straight in important moments.

In the end... it's on the players though. We as fans can bitch and moan all day long, but if the players want this type of garbage officiating to stop, they need to argue for repercussions and accountability during the next CBA.

Bad call. No question.

But when you cry your way into all-star games, further social media crying isn't going to earn you much respect.

The all star game where Dame was clearly young and perhaps still immature has exactly what to do with this? Don't act like superstars don't cry about big time calls or no calls all the time because they do.

What was that 5 years ago? Might be time to let it go.

I dont get how any of what you just said factors in making the right call? So refs disregarded Dame because of something he did couple of years ago? Shouldn't they lack respect for Gobert and make it a goaltend because he cried and complained when he didn't make the all-star team a year or so ago?

He made a point in post-game interview. I respect that and he's right.

But there's no reason to go to social networks and repeat that once again. Nothing will change.
Bad call unfortunately, but let's move on and not cry. There are a lot of bad calls happening each game.

I disagree completely..Only way to change things is to keep highlighting whats wrong until it's fixed. It's always the same excuses being made every time bad officiating ruins games. ''Bad calls happen move on''...How about fixing things?

Please point out the all-star game that Lillard cried his way into instead of earned his way into.

Based on CJ's comments, it seems that they were more upset with how the refs handled the miss call rather than missing the call in the first place. He stopped just short of calling the refs unprofessional.

I can understand your point but there were thousands of bad calls highlighted before.
Did something change?
Do you think it will change now after this outburst on twitter?

You know the answer - right or wrong.

So it's just a waist of energy and probably money.

I hate then NBA players say I have lots of money to pay the fine. Cool Bro!
But if you know that a fine of 15.000 is coming maybe give that amount to some charity or families who needed that instead of paying it to NBA...

They lost to a small Rockets team without Harden, Westbrook and Capela too as Gordon,.House and Rivers combined for over 90 on them including 50 by Gordon lol

Jazz have looked horrible with Conley. It's sad how washed up he is. He might not belong on an Nba roster soon. They've looked horrible in general tho against competent teams. That strech they went 18-2 or whatever was mostly against bum lottery teams
