The Trail Blazers have some big guys. We should make a trade.

That Bud timeout turned into a bad thing.

Durant has missed something like 4 shots in a row.

Durant needed me to say that as he makes a mid-range shot.

The Suns could use Robert Williams.

How did they even call that an offensive foul on Booker.

Unfortunately, that is NBA reffing these days. I am amazed how much better the refs were seemingly in the seventies and eighties.

I'm not sure if they were better, but they tried to even out bad calls fairly.

Suns come out in a daze in the 2nd half.

Tie game at 57.

Suns quickly trail 62-57.

Maybe they are tired or bored or something?

The Suns are going to miss Tyus next season.

Watch some old games, they weren't better. We didn't have the camera angles to see things like we do now in the clarity we do. In the old days though they'd generally err on the side of not calling something than calling it, which is done now in the name of player safety.

It's not better or worse, different, but the same missed calls were missed then. It's like a seesaw, it's never been good or flat. It always swings far to one side or the other, too involved or not enough.
