Okay. That is a terrible sequence by the refs on Gary.

We need to not let off the gas. CJ needs to play really well right now! GTJ needs to settle down a little. Olympic Melo needs to be smart.

When Dame is out of the game, the team is in survival mode.

CJ's been a ghost so far. Gabriel for Rio coming up next I hope.

I don't..

Know how we're getting all these calls.

BUT.

I would likeus to take advantage of them being in the penalty for over half the quarter left.

Every time Nurk gets tangled up or slides on his feet I legit get scared.

TNT needs to do better research. They just posted numbers on how the Lakers are 10-1 against the Blazers in the playoffs all time. And the one time the Blazers won a playoff series against the Lakers was 1977 when they won their only title.

BULL****!!! In 1992, the Blazers beat the Lakers in the 1st Round. And Game 4 where the Blazers closed out the series was played in Las Vegas instead of LA was because of the Rodney King riots. I was a teenager when that happened so I remember when it happened.

Okay.

We made a run.

They made a run.

We went crazy cold.

Somehow we're still up one. I'll take it.

That's not how I saw it TSE. Looked to me like the refs pulled the E brake on this game.

Trent Jr has been shooting awful in 4 out of his last 5 games with Nets game being the only exception.

Is he injured or something? Do you guys not have anyone better to take his mins?

Stotts needs to coach some defense into these guys before he messes around and loses a good opportunity for this team and his career. No excuses.

I wish we could just spot the Fakers 20 points before the game starts, and have the refs call a fair game. We'd have a way better chance that way. The phantom fouls are killing us, and seeing Stotts on the sideline, just smile and shake his head, really pisses me off. Throw a chair Stotts.

The fouls are equal and we have more free throws. I think some have been a little weak but I think Lakers fans would say there's been some big no-calls that have favored us and I'd have to agree.

The only foul I really have issue with is the offensive on on Gary in the first when Morris was pulling his arm back as he was driving.

He ran it perfect in the 1st, then got confused, and then went small. Again.

And just because the fouls are near equal, doesn't tell me that the refs have called a good game. They did in the 1st, with the exception being the two bad calls on Gabriel, who was playing fantastic. Forcing him out absolutely changed the game in favor of the Fakers.
