The mistake this entire board has made is to not realize how much an idiot Ross has been since he got here.


You can add Vasquez to that. Why he chose to foul batum over his shoulder after he gets a step ahead is beyond me. He had a chance to foul while he was ahead.

This. People need to STFU about the clear path calls.

1) Ross was not past Lillard - no clear path. Lowry being open down court is irrelevant bc he didn't have the ball. But all Ross had to do was throw the damn ball down the court as soon as he got it. Why the hell would you dribble?
2) Vasquez let Batum go by him before wrapping him up - clear path. Completely idiotic decision.

hes a troll for telling the truth? enough of these post games telling fans of other teams that we hope they win the championship. Seems like we tell every damn fan base we hope they win the title except the knicks and nets.

I see through all your fake hope for other teams. Just tell the truth. YOU WANT THEM TO LOSE AND YOU WANT US TO WIN.


the hell are you talking about dude? i was calling that portland fan a troll for coming here with his pretentious backhanded support… hence, "get that troll out of here." don't know how you would interpret that differently.


whoops my mistake

Was a good game until the refs got involved near the end. I'm still not sure why Casey didn't call for the team to take a three at the end of regulation. It takes the refs completely out of the equation and you don't want to go to overtime against that team in that building anyway. Nor do I get why Lou Williams or especially Greivis Vasquez continue to get the level of trust that they do, but that's another issue altogether.

Considering how poorly they shot, though, there was still an impressive level of fight shown. I take more good than bad out of this one (other than the continued lack of refereeing respect).

She doesn't watch basketball often but the state of the Raps, the game and the league was evidenced right there in OT.

So sad.


My wife came downstairs for a bit, then randomly said "see that coach on the bench in the navy blue suit and brown shoes? you should get shoes like that for your navy blue suit" then she left.

I very rarely ever complain about reffing, but that was one of the most poorly officiated games I've ever seen in any sport ever. I chucked my remote at the wall, and I never did that before. Honestly, 6 pts gifted to the Blazers in the 4th, Lowry not getting any calls, and that clear path bull which even after review, was botched beyond belief. Lowry fouled Steve Blake on that steal leading to the tying play that went uncalled, but that's it. You just know if Lowry hits that 3, and Lillard does that same drive at the end, he gets the foul call since it's a win or lose as opposed to win or OT situation.

Casey needs to light up the refs in the presser and take the fine, because this is beyond atrocious. Need to take a stand here.

"Additionally, if the defensive player who commits the foul is

enters the frontcourt, no clear path has occurred regardless if he is fouled from
behind or on the side."

This is crystal clear, Vazquez did NOT commit a clear path foul on Batum. He was ahead of him. Can these refs read the rules? When is the lawsuit happening????


Oh, come on. GV didn't foul Batum until AFTER Batum went past him. Look at it again.
