Instead of complaining about Lebron taking 3 steps, what about criticizing Roy for that horrible fade away shot at the end? Or Blake missing a wide open 3?
so traveling is allowed in the nba now?

well, Up until now, we have been winning games by using Brandon Roy's Mojo. Unfortunately, Lebron has more Mojo than Brandon, and Brandon should have given the ball up to either outlaw or aldridge near the end. He tried to win a battle with Lebron, and although I love Brandon Roy and think he is a very unselfish player, I think he dominated the ball too much at the end of the game. But, such is life when you play against Lebron. Ask Detroit, who was a much better team than the Blazers but still got Lebronned in last years playoffs. We have been sneaking by in a lot of games. It makes sense that we would finally drop one, and it makes sense that Cleveland would be the team to do it to us

LOL at the Blazers homers crying travel on Lebron...
Listen, we got owned by him last weekend, now its your turn, shut up and take your lumps, boys
Why would the refs call travel on the last play of the game? You guys want them to not call a foul and let the players play, yet you want them to call a travel and not them play? You cant have it both ways...either you want the refs to swallow their whistles and not call a foul or you want them to call it tight, stop being hypocrites. Refs usually just let the players play out the last play of the game, no matter how hard the player is hit.

The fact is, portland has played 4 fairly poor games in a row, and if not for Roy's heroics against Atlanta, would have a 4 game losing streak right now.
It's certainly true that with NO, Houston, and Cleveland, they've played 3 good defensive teams. And every team they've played in the last 10 games has had 2 or 3 days to prepare for portland, and has devised defenses accordingly.
That would normally explain 39%, 36%, and 35% shooting in their last 3 losses. But then, portland is simply missing a ton of open shots lately. Worn down a bit I think, to the point that a 3-3 homestand may be optomistic.

like every team's forum, some here will whine about officiating after a loss. Most don't, and of all games, this one wasn't affected by the officiating...unless it was in portland's favor.
Lebron just owned the crucial quarter and the blazers missed far too many open shots in the first 47 minutes to win the game.
