Peterson got fouled on both those last two shots,but he didn't help anyone by getting ejected.God this team has games where noone can shoot.They're all wide open shots except the ones Paul had to take against the shot clock and they are like 3 of 25 from three.

Yeah, the Hornets didn't get calls, but it's gonna happen every game, and it didn't decide the outcome of the game.

This team really misses Peja.They got him so teams would stop packing the paint on Paul the way they did his entire rookie season and last year after the injuries.MoPete shot so great the other night and tonight he has easier shots over and over...He can't hit anything and neither can anyone else.It's just pathetic for guys who are paid millions based solely on their shooting ability to shoot like the Hornets shooters have in like a third of their games.

No they weren't. Like I said in the previous post I don't normally complain about the refs but they were terrible. Really working the crowd they were. But whatever, of course you won't see it that way because you guys are stoked over your winning streak. Congratulations.

Wow. See. I didn't even know Mo got tossed until I read this post. I saw when he got a tech but I must've gotten up or something so I missed that. So for the 2nd time this season a Hornet has gotten tossed from a game in the Rose Garden. Wow.

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.

I'm sure you do find it funny but don't act like you guys have never blamed refs about anything. I'm pretty sure you guys did a lot of it in your Jailblazer days. No, everything wasn't totally the refs faults and no one here is blaming everything on them but some of the calls made at inopportune times made sure to take any zest or confidence the Hornets 'thought' they were building up away. Actually I'd place more blame on the Hornets' p*ss poor shooting and not trying to get to line more than blaming the refs. Moving on.

The Hornets are responsible for their own loss last night. But anyone who can't see those two bad calls at the end of the game, clearly have to be a fan of the other team. I hate when calls are missed for any team because it can affect the outcome of the game and possibly affect your playoff chances at the end of the year. I especially got a kick out of the no call on MoPete when he and Butler were clearly called for the same foul.

No that's not what I meant at all, sorry for the miscommunication, it's hard to write things the way you mean it sometimes.

About the refs, I think it's funny because the "Jailblazers" WERE known to be huge complainers and led the league in technicals and even had one player (Rasheed) physically threaten a ref after a game. And the current team is just a bunch of unknowns (we don't have an AI or a Kobe or a Tim Duncan) so we don't get any star calls. My point was the Blazers are the last team that is going to be favored by the refs.

And you may have felt there were bad calls against the Hornets (and there probably were like there are in every NBA game anymore) but the Blazers had some bad calls too. In fact there was a really bad call against the Blazers right at the beginning. Joel jumped for the tip off, Tyson wasn't ready and just didn't jump, so the ref called a quick jump and gave the ball to NO. Also, one of our starting forwards, Frye, got 3 ticky tack fouls in 3 minutes! Talk about taking the zest and confidence out of the Blazers. There were bad calls at both ends it's just that the fans only notice the ones against their team.

And my question about the Hornets losing composure to the Blazers was a real one. I can understand being annoyed with the Spurs (who do get every call and know all the dirty tricks in the book) or the Jazz (who get pretty physical) but the Blazers just seem so innocuous compaired to those other teams. I wonder if it's because the Blazers are perceived as a bad team so it's more frustrating to struggle against them or lose to them.

2 Blazers in foul trouble (2 with 4 fouls... Pryzbilla got 1 foul in each qtr) 4 Hornets in foul trouble (2 with 4, 2 with 5.. and at one time it seemed like they were calling back to back fouls on Hornets). I was rather suprised when I saw quick fouls on Frye too but I guess they have to try to even it out as much as possible or maybe Frye just couldn't quite get a handle on West like he thought he could. It wasn't really that even though. I'm not quite sure why the Hornets lose their composure to the Blazers other than the Hornets don't feel the Blazers are called for some things they should be called for. I just read a recent article where Chandler said they do a lot of grabbing and pulling but don't get called for a lot of it and it frustrates players. Like I said I'm moving on from this game and looking forward. Not going to keep contributing to this thread about why you do or why you don't see fit that some of those calls were bogus.
