The commentators are still talking about that bad foul call against AD by Bazemore. The question they are asking about giving the shooter room to land doesn't apply to that play. AD didn't go straight up for a jumper. He landed almost 8 feet from where he took off.

I can’t believe these calls

It seems like Hezonja almost always gets stripped when he tries to drive into traffic.

Blazers need to get busy doing more than trading baskets.

Hezonja has been a disappointment.

Portland could do more of pulling their starters when down 20.

Not enough time left in this one

I love Bazemore's game.

Still playing Dame and cj. Idc if Stotts isn’t on the court this is a bad call!

Blazers are playing very hard for a team that is beat.

Nonsense, Blazers are on their way to having a good season. We're not going to get 53 wins but we might start the playoffs a better team than last year.

You don't believe we'll make the playoffs.

Hopefully the injury to Hood is a torn Achilles as opposed to a ruptured Achilles for the
is difference between Klay as opposed KD. Guys can come back from an ACL but almost
nobody comes back from an ruptured Achilles. Let's hope for the best for Rodney.

I do think the way the team was setup was indicative of NO's priorities for the team after
Zach went down, was paper thin with more or less guys on veteran's minimum contracts.
Hopefully the team will not panic and hurt themselves by a short term fix with teams
like the Knicks who want their FRP. I would sit Zach for the rest of the season and bring
Nurk back very slowly with an eye towards being completely ready in fall camp.

Team can still have a good season with the players on hand but the goal is to look to see
if those expiring contracts can first jump start the off season or be allowed to expire
which would drop $48 Million of their cap.

I don't believe will enter it a better team than last year. I think making the playoffs is about 50/50 as an 8th seed right now.

Blazers scored a 100, so that's a free 6 piece McNuggets.
