Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment. Original video of the play here. Quotes from the players and coaches here. The NBA admitting it got the call wrong here. Dave's extended thoughts here. BlazersMakr's FanShot: Major Vegas action on OKC prior to tip here. Audio of Chad Doing of 750 AM The Game going HAM on Foster here. OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion. Courtside video via Blazers Broadcasting cameraman John Curry. -- Ben Golliver | benjamin.golliver@gmail.com | Twitter
