NBA Playoffs - Call Your Shot

But apparently Shane Battier gets calls. Rockets in the bonus in less than 4 minutes into the 2nd half.

At least you can admit the NBA is a sham.

You sound a lot like a CougarBoarder after/during a BYU loss, especially if it is against a P10 team.

Von Wafer also gets more calls than Brandon Roy.

I guess I was wrong about the Blazers winning this series. I underestimated the NBA's desire for a Rockets-Lakers series.

Are you actually watching this game? I don't complain that much about officials, but this has been beyond ridiculous.

Von Wafer is getting calls that Brandon Roy isn't even getting. Apparently Von Wafer has established himself as a superstar in the NBA.

You sure that you want to make that claim?

So far not a really great record in these playoffs about not complaining about officials, that much.

I don't think it is a sham. I told you a month ago....do you honestly expect the Blazers to do much in the post-season? Young, no playoff experience, no closer. You said you didn't, but it seems like you have chugged a huge glass of Blazer kool-aid in the past week or so.

Remember a few days ago you said you were perplexed by how most people were not giving the Blazers enough credit and everyone was picking the Rockets? Well....now you see why. The Blazers are not that good. I know you think they are, but they are not, at least not when we are talking about this upper echelon of teams.

Blazers finish strong again to end the quarter. Oddly enough the Rockets backups were working the Blazers. Rockets put the starters back in and the Blazers go on a run to end the half. Blazers up by 2 at the half.

I don't expect much, but I did think that with homecourt advantage this team should win a first round playoff series.

Officiating evening out in the 2nd half. Blazers need to stop playing like crap and someone needs to remind Von Wafer that he is Von Wafer.

[MartyFunkhouser]

Someone please remind Aaron Brooks that he is Aaron Brooks.

It is one thing to get beat by players like Yao and Artest, but why is it the Blazers are getting torched by these mediocre players who keep having career games.

I know the Blazers don't have great defense, but it isn't bad enough that Von Wafer and Aaron Brooks should be playing the way they have.

You mean a guy that carried a not very talented Oregon team to the E8? I think he already knows.

That Oregon team was stacked with talent. It is only way Ernie Kent can win games because he is an awful coach.

As evidence by how many of them are playing in the NBA.

Imagine if the Blazers had a real PG like Brooks to go along with Roy and Aldridge. But I am sure I am about to hear how great Steve Blake and Sergio Rodriguez are.

Imagine Deron Williams or Chris Paul on that Portland team. How much does Martell Webster play again?

It was nice to have the officials on our side when it lasted. Officials refusing to give Yao his 5th foul no longer how much he hacks.

This series is over and I couldn't be more disappointed, and yes I'd take Blake over Aaron Brooks.

Yao pushes Pryzbilla to the floor and a foul is called on Pryzbilla because he hits a Rocket player after the push. Sure don't call the foul on Yao, but you cannot call that foul on Wafer. I understand the star system but how does that make sense when Von Wafer and Aaron Brooks are getting more star treatment than Yao?

This game has been beyond frustrating. Just call an even game, it has been completely biased one way or the other the entire game.

Dude are you still out on the ledge? The Blazers are going to win this game. I hope you didn't jump before you saw the ending.
