Complain about the refs enough and "success" will follow. Examples: Mark Cuban, 2005; "illegal screens" 20,329 Portland fans, 2009; general ineptitude and/or "suckness". I'm not blaming our poor performance entirely on the refs, but you've got to admit that there have been some ridiculous calls today, especially late. To compound that the Blazer commentators were still complaining about the refs. In the end though, Brandon Roy and careless basketball killed us. But it's pretty irritating how often we start out dominant, have the other team complain, and then lose the next game.
Forget about the refs. We have more serious problems. Anyway, as a fan, I have 3 wishes for next season already: 1) whether we pass the 1st round or not, I wish we have a new coach next season. 2) whether we pass the 1st round or not, I wish we have a younger coach next season. 3) whether we pass the 1st round or not, I wish we have a better coach next season.
