Terence Davis is a bloody handy bench piece. Super athletic, 6'9" wingspan, nearly in the 50/40/90 club, and plays solid defence. Seems they've found another Norman Powell kinda guy

Portland just got straight-up robbed. Lillard's would-be game-tying layup was clearly goaltended by Gobert and the refs let it go. I don't know how all three refs missed that.

3 Blind refs. Everyone could see that happen in real time. What were the refs looking at? Ruined a great game. No worries it will come out in the 2 minute report, or do they even do those any more. That's a disgrace!!!!

ESPN : "Rudy Gobert blocks Damian Lillard's driving layup" that's a lie it was clearly a goaltend.

Yuck. The thing is they've had years to learn that calling it lets it be reviewed and not calling it doesn't, so be proactive about calling it. It wasn't close, just blow the whistle when you see players freaking out.

What else would those refs be looking at to not see that?

Who knows but my guess is some of em didn't have the angle and the one who did thought Gobert didn't touch it or he tipped it before the backboard. Which isn't reviewable. Calling it is. Call it!

That rule strikes me as dumb. They should just let coaches challenge any play like that one.

Yeah, it was obvious to me in real time, since the ball changed direction twice—when it hit the backboard, and then when Gobert goaltended it. And yes, I'm sure we'll see the NBA admit the mistake, but that's of zero comfort to Portland.

A team fighting for a playoff spot and The NBA just muffs it. Ruined a great game! Just horrid....

It's funny—I often see refs call fouls while standing far away from the area of the alleged foul, but all three of these guys—all of whom must've been watching the play at the rim—missed an obvious goaltend here.

It was a very good game until that play.

Yeah, it's stupefying. I could see that on my TV in real time and so could the announcer. He called it in real time.

Yeah, The refs just ruined a two hour game with a horrid call to end what would've been a tie game. The refs can review all kinds of stuff but not that, makes no sense!

The Lilliputian Rockets have come back down to earth. James Harden and the Eleven Dwarves were hammered 127-91 by the Suns last night with Oubre and Booker going off for 72 points. The Rockets' pipsqueaks were outscored by 36 and outrebounded (defensively) by 20. They did hold DeAndre The Giant to 12 points so a moral victory there?

They were missing an All-Star in Westbrook and a good role player in Gordon lol, their scheme does work.

And those were guards and wings.  If Ayton would have exploded for like 40 maybe there would be an argument, but Ayton didn't exactly go off with 12 points on 8 shots.
