Maybe I was wrong on Harden. Houston really cant lose this series, it would be a giant disappointment. Aldridge is playing like the superstar.

The officiating is an absolute joke

I know its nothing bold, but whoever wins this Portland game wins the series. You cant go to Houston win 2 and come home and not at least split, and if your Houston and drop 2 at home and win 2 at Portland how the hell do you come back home for game 5 and get beat? This is the series, right now. And again Harden is a no show.

I'm not big on the conspiracy stuff, but these guys just aren't very good. It should be one of Silver's first goals (other than throwing out Sterling)---improve officiating. These are not just blown judgement calls. They are just bad calls, period.

Not reviewing the horrible Ed Malloy call last night is inexplicable. How does that happen? These guys review EVERYTHING! They review three pointers when the guy is three feet behind the line, but they don't review that?

But forgetting they didn't review it, he did he miss that call? He is right there on the play. He said it hit Howard's leg...it was never anywhere near his leg.

It just seems like the officiating has gotten so much worse during the playoffs. I mean, sure there are going to be some bad/wrong calls now and then...you expect that, but I don't remember the officiating being anywhere near this bad during the regular season.

You might want to ask the 2002 Sacramento Kings about playoff officiating....It has been as bad.... and worse, in the past.

Funny you say that. Kenny Mauer the biggest culprit in that 2002 series that screwed Sacramento was the head official Sunday night for the Portland - Houston game...it was like deja vu all over again.
