    Is it possible that the NBA fix the Rockets/Portland matchup? Check this article out:

    http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/...ficials-to-side-with-nets-over-raptors-042314

    This official got in trouble because at one time, he help fixed the Kings/Lakers games many years ago. And as a former Kings fan, i couldn't explain why Kobe constantly getting to the free throw lines with even the slightest contact. That was how the Lakers get back into the game after falling way behind in one of the crucial games in the Playoffs.

    Now looking back at game #1 of the Rockets/Portland game...there are blown calls and calls that were in favor of the Portland and call that the league even came out and say it was WRONG. So, my theory is....is it possible that the league want to help Portland win because they KNOW that the Spurs are going to have a problem against the Rockets? Now i am not discredit the fact that we don't play particular well in game #1 but we were within the reach of winning the game and if some of the calls were in our favor...we could have potentially won it!!

    Blazers were the better team last night. Had nothing to do with the refs.

    Portland kicked our asses through and through both times. Their stars showed up, ours didn't. Refs had nothing to do with it.

    Why is it so hard for us to admit that the Blazers have had a better game plan, better production from their stars, better bench production, better coaching , and better execution down the stretch??? Its time to give them credit as opposed to overrating our team.

    Till we go there and take 4 in a row, our team is in no position to win this series. The Blazers ripped our team to shreds and we think its a conspiracy that we were matched up with the Blazers...

    Yeah tons of people will be tuning in to watch the Nets. LOL. Donaghy is such a creep. The league's officiating is just straight up bad, no need to look for a conspiracy.

    Raptors fans have been absolutely insufferable just about everywhere on the internet. Let's be better than that, okay? It's a bad look.

    I believe Tim's words have some merit to them but not in the Rockets vs Blazers series. They are dominating us in all facets of the game.

    Are we really going to become whiny Canadians now? Ball don't lie. We win those games if we take care of our business. End of story.

    So winning by 2 in OVERTIME (which means score was tied at end of regulation btw) with a league admitted wrong call qualifies as kicked ass and refs having nothing to do with it?

    okay.

    This board is truly unbelievable.
