The offense is rough when LeBron sits and they just double Davis as soon as he gets the ball. Vogel’s gotta figure this out.

Too many whistles... damn it. This foul on AD... some on Dwight... I really don't like this officiating. Let the game have some flow and call tiki tak fouls.

Portland hasn't made a field goal yet this quarter.

Nick Nurse has put a fork in AD.

The Nurse strategy is just standard now.

Better they get used to it early on I guess rather than being blitzed with it later.

Really don't understand the no Dion minutes. Will be really annoying if Vogel keeps up with different lineups every game during the playoffs. Plus Rondo's coming back...

Yes. And I personally don't like it. Games without flow are terrible to watch.

Portland has now 30 FGA and 24 FTA.

The game has had 37 FTs so far. We've played 18 minutes. It's too much. And the problem is that it seems to be getting normal in the NBA.

I really don't understand these refs. They're calling every little thing on one end and calling a playoff whistle on the other.

Embarassing by Howard. Just jump and dunk it.

Just play AD at the 5 that doubling strategy don't hit the same vs a spread floor

The NBA needs to sit down with the refs union and make it clear the refs are not the entertainment product. These whistles are insane!

Bro Dame getting the most ridiculous calls. I haven't seen someone blatantly favored by the refs this badly since Peyton Manning in his final playoff run

What a **** bull game. Players are actually damn good but I'm seriously getting annoyed by this.
