That was a freakishly athletic block by Westbrook.
He went for the initial block, Batum pump faked, and Westbrook hung up there long enough to still block it.
Refs owe us a game

They don't have an elite shot creator, yeah.
That’ll make it difficult in halfcourt sets.

gluteus maximus
sounds like a gladiator name
Sucks
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
Goaltend is a judgement call
Not reviewable unfortunately.
Here's my thought.
1. The goal tend was a terrible call, but the officiating hasn’t been adequate enough on the whole.
2. Win or lose, it’s not the end of the world. This isn’t like Vinny T. and his phantom TD that cost the Seahawks a playoff spot in the late-’90s.
"I Am Mine"
Nah, the officiating has been down the middle on the whole.
Like I said, though, the Seahawks gone through far worse than this.
"I Am Mine"

My face is bright red from all the PALMFACING!!!
LET THE LAMONSTER ERA BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I give up on the NBA, total garbage call at the end.
talk about totally changing a game outcome, we know for a fact that several of them bet on games. That was so criminal.

it was a close call, even if it was the wrong call

I'll check the score later and live with the result
got to get my blood pressure back down.
we just don;t have anybody who consistently takes their man off the dribble and can finish strong at the rim
..its why we have such long offensive slumps
This game is a perfect example of why I hate the NBA
Love my blazers though
Billion offensive rebounds for OKC
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
Hey Jamal, block out
!!!o o!!!
OMG I just jizzed in my France

So now does anyone want to tell me refs dont decide games?
I’m listening. You tell me I’m stupid because I think (actually I know) refs can decide games, but they clearly decided this game.
Someone tried to sell me on the idea that they are "judgement" calls

not nearly as often as people claim they do
tonight, Scott Foster’s ridiculous late and hideous out of position call decided this game.
"But if Ding Dongs and prime rib were the path to NBA pivot stardom we'd all be wearing the uniform." -Dave
which is the worst part about it to me.
"But if Ding Dongs and prime rib were the path to NBA pivot stardom we'd all be wearing the uniform." -Dave
The ref looked thrilled he could call a shot clock violation.
I presume they know they made a mistake by now.
Right, which was to be expected.
They couldn’t do the makeup call on the final possession of the 4th quarter, because refs swallow their whistles in those instances. Once OT started, though, they could try to compensate for the earlier error.
"I Am Mine"
Yeah, the phatom goal tend was an accident.
I’ve seen screw jobs — such as Game 7 of the 1993 WCF — and this is no screw jobs.
As it is, screw jobs take place over an entire game rather than one single messed up call.
"I Am Mine"
Right, but there's an inherent difference between a screw job game and a messed up call.
"I Am Mine"
ohhh true true
if we lose this it’s on that call, and our horrible, horrible D rebounding
the biggest question though
is why a guy who was so far away from the play, with no good angle, comes in way late to make a call his two crew mates decided was a clean block? i mean, if he was the ref down on the low block or free throw extended and made the call, fine. it’s still a bad call. but where/when he made it just says something even worse.
"But if Ding Dongs and prime rib were the path to NBA pivot stardom we'd all be wearing the uniform." -Dave
The refs looked kind of crestfallen as they huddled after that call.
#52--------I believe in Greg Oden
crazy game

So much negativity
We’re down by two with 37 seconds left in overtime against one of the best teams in the league at home. Have some hope.
Batum got a great shot at it. It's tough when you think you've been robbed of a hard earned win. Then you have to
play 5 more minutes against this great team.
I told Mike Rice 3 days ago what was going to happen in our next 5 games.
We win at home, but lose to OKC (because that’s what the NBA wants. Don’t believe me? Just watch some of their other close games. They get so many BS calls it is laughable), we’ll lose the road games, then come back home and beat a mediocre team at home again.
lol

Why would the NBA want OKC to win?
If it was about marketing, a Miami v. Lakers NBA Finals would be the dream matchup.
"I Am Mine"
not that im buying conspiracy theories
but there’s more to it than just population you know.
"But if Ding Dongs and prime rib were the path to NBA pivot stardom we'd all be wearing the uniform." -Dave
Batum has never been clutch.
For France he is always awesome throughout until the last minute or so.

the spin on the ball makes it look like perkins hit it
but today i expect them to overturn that call
If the refs overturn this
that will only be the 3rd worst call of this game.

OKC should get this.
Since the refs have money on them.

U FAILURE LEAGUE U CAN REVIEW THAT OUT OF BOUNDS BUT CANT A GAME CHANGING GOALDTENDING WHERE U ACTUALLY GIVING AWAY 2 PTS FOR SURE?

Both refs played hard

Who cares.
They can say Portland should have won the game, but that won’t get us the win.

So, the DailyThunder blogger isn't sure whether or not it was a goaltend.
I’m glad that he writes for ESPN and is such a beacon of integrity.
lets draw up a stagnet play, that if they double we have no answer for?
yeah i blame that on the coach
thats crazy end
And Oden, once again, is a rookie, so non-stop fast break basketball is like fast-forwarding a song while he's trying to learn the lyrics.
Wow total failure

Okay, Portland just shot themselves in the foot there.
That was pathetic basketball. Absolutely pathetic garbage.

Why did KT get the ball?
He obviously didn’t want it.

The NBA: Where Bad Calls Happen
"But if Ding Dongs and prime rib were the path to NBA pivot stardom we'd all be wearing the uniform." -Dave
don't disagree
but tonight the difference was a very late goaltend call from a referee who was 50 feet away and had no angle on the play at all.
"But if Ding Dongs and prime rib were the path to NBA pivot stardom we'd all be wearing the uniform." -Dave
that wasn't the only terrible call that favored OKC
the whole game was skewed
by tjv on Feb 6, 2012 9:54 PM PST up reply actions
Well yeah, for sure we got jobbed there.
I think Blazers would have legitimately won the game at that point. It’s because of our lack of another star player and we were going into overtime against a more stacked team; I knew we’d lose. Damned refs; yeah, they need security tonight.
Stolen Franchise gets a stolen win?
Guess their fans won’t have a problem with it

Blame the refs all you want, but Portland sucked a fat one in OT.
Y’all can use your imagination regarding what a “one” is.
"I Am Mine"
it's not a 2, thats for sure

the game ended with the phantom goaltend
i held 0 hope that Portland would pull through in OT. they don’t have finishers, and all their momentum was sucked dry by that call. it was inevitable.

The Fix was in tonight
I thought Scott Foster was a good official.

Business as usual for the NBA's biggest egos (the refs).
