Get out of here already.

Does LA have a game thread?

It's a lot harder to play defense where every ticky tack foul is called. Call the same fouls on the Lakers and the Lakers defense is much less capable of defending Dame,CJ or Nurk

And when the Blazers do actually draw a foul and make a bucket, it's waived off and have to take the ball out of bound. Sure, the Blazers have been playing piss poor, but their simply not allowed to play and that can take a player/team right out of the game. Just call it both ways. Nurk gets called for pushing Howard. Yup, he did, but watch Howard and how much pushing he gets away with. Just call a foul a foul. That's all I want.

If we can at least get the score to something respectable by the half, that'd be good. Low teens...

Call the same foul on both ends. If it is a foul on one end call it the same on the other

Carmelo has looked old to me tonight. I like his effort, he just hasn't seemed good enough for what's needed. I think this would be more competitive if both teams were fully healthy.

Stotts needed to take that tech and not CJ.

Agreed. Get it below 15. 10 would be even better.

I want to make it clear I appreciate CJ getting the tech. A tech, challenging the refs, was necessary. My issue is that this should be Stotts' job. He needs to stand up for the guys.

Can't keep letting Danny Green be wide open though.

See what I mean about Howard? He just hits people.

At this point, I think I would have gone all Bobby Knight and one of those chairs would be sliding across the logo about now.
