They're riding their starters into the ground, even LA was like "I'm so tired right now" right after he hit the GW. They'll come down to Earth down the stretch.
That's the point. Portland's gotten ridiculous win after ridiculous win all season...and they're still only slightly above .500. Realistically, they should be around the level of Minnesota. There is no second gear for the Blazers to boost themselves up to so they can catch up with us. There IS one for the Mavericks. It's just like how Houston was like the 5th seed back in the early part of the 2008-09 season, only to fade down the stretch. Portland will do the same.
LOL such bs calls/non-calls at the end there. Whatever, this just shows you how bad the Lakers are. We talkin' bout the HORNETS, man. At home.
I'm not a ref basher, but the last few days refs have really blown a lot of calls late in games. This is just another one.
Should have been a 3 second violation, easily. That one missed call was the difference between a 1 point deficit and potentially taking the lead to a 6 point deficit. This is an example of one small mistake from the officials altering the outcome of the game.
