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.

I think Rice fouled him before the block

It's pretty sad...
…when we have to beat this horse to death in the media or by the fans. It was one game, one call. If the Blazers want to protect home court, it shouldn’t come down to a single play with 5 or 6 seconds left on the clock. This isn’t the 2000 WCF, it’s the 2011-2012 regular season. Get over it, move on. There are bigger issues with this team/season than one blown call at the end of a game. It happens NIGHTLY in the NBA and will continue to happen NIGHTLY because of the speed and interpretation of the game/rules.
well considering we are yet to play a game since the OKC game it isnt really that late
nobody is crying anymore. Its just for a little laugh. If its not funny to you, move along

and considering the NBA came out just yesterday and said they screwed up, we've only been talking about it for a day
it’s not like this is years later here. A win tonight will go a long way to shut all of us up.

Also that game was littered with no calls
And bad calls, that was just the tip of the iceberg

how dare we let a game against the team with the best record in the NBA come down to the final play!!!
I am appalled!
How dare we make that play and then be upset at a phantom goaltend call! Shame on us, shame on you SammyMohawk! You’re the worst of all!
We should win every game at home by 10+ pts, anything less is unsatisfactory defense of the Rose Garden!

I loved it. Thanks for the laugh.
All people improve the gene pool; some by birth, some by their demise!
This is so great.
Barrett and Rice are homers, but they’re our homers. Yeah, this will need to get dropped eventually, but it’s a major moment for the Blazers this season, just like Batum’s tip-in over the Spurs was.
I would only have a problem if actual Blazer players were doing this. I’d rather they focus on making up the win they should have had by working their butts off for the rest of the season and fixing this road inconsistency.
"Hey! If the moon were made of ribs, wouldja eat it? I know I would!"
Thats the best way to deal with it!
Get funny! If LMA goes to the All-Star game he will get a chance to talk to Durant about that one. I would love to hear that conversation.
And from the other room....
I love it.
Bring on the Rockets…
Rockets, meet buzzsaw

Funny stuff.
Rice should be used to getting ejected.
Loud pipes save lives!
Bad knees break hearts!
Time for an exorcism.
I love it!
Rice recovered on D quite well to make that block. Not bad for a man with knee replacements. Impressive..
So you're saying we still have hope for Oden?
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.
hahaha i cant lie, that was funny
especially since ref came out of the other room

Oh great, now I had to view it
And you’re right, that was much funnier than I expected.
Not the first time Rice got ejected from a game, either.
How anybody cannot like Mike and Mike is just crazy to me!!!
These guys are great, pure comedy. I love it, I love them, I love yall. LOVELY!!!

i agree.
mike and mike are miles ahead of the boring droll league pass sometimes graces us with from other teams.
I don't always root for an NBA franchise, but when I do, I prefer the Portland Trail Blazers.
