As a Blazer fan I always find it kind of funny when other teams' fans blame the refs for a loss. It's the friggin' Portland Trailblazers, do you honestly think, given our history with the refs and the fact that we have the youngest most inexperienced (i.e. no super star calls) team in the NBA, there's some kind of favoritism going on by the league?
That game was just ugly on both teams parts. The Blazers gutted out the win but neither team looked pretty. It didn't help that the Hornets lost their composure, not only did Peterson get kicked out but there were a couple incidents where Hornet players were barking at their own team mates and arguing on the sidelines with each other. Seriously, at one point it almost looked like they were going to get in a fist fight during a time out.
What is it about Portland the gets under the Hornets' skin so bad? It seems so odd to me considering our guys don't talk that much, rarely complain, almost never get T'd up, and don't really get all that physical with anyone.
