Too bad Porzingas didn't even attempt a box out. He could have had that rebound with even a token effort to block out either Williams or Miller.

Pretty sure that the general conclusion is that the team was deliberately mismanaged and sabotaged so that it could eventually be moved to an American market.
When Orca Bay was shopping the team, Michael Heisley promised to keep it in Vancouver, but as soon as the sale was approved he began the process of moving the team.
We all know there was financial issues that contributed to moving the team, but I think from the start, even though the league and owners were willing to expand in to Canada, as soon as the team started it was mismanaged into the ground by Stu Jackson, which set the stage for it's eventual relocation.
Abdur-Rahim and Bibby were decent picks, but drafting Bryant Reeves was a dumb choice. Drafting Steve Francis was an even dumber choice, and probably the nail in the coffin.
I fucking love Hubie. I wish he did more games that I get to watch. Love the way he talks about the game and breaks things down for viewers.
He also doesn't come across as one of those guys moaning about the old days or anything. He just straight up loves and knows the game in all forms.
Look at the face of the ref who calls the tech. To me, he looks pissed off.
Refs should never be pissed off at players, unless a player was to do something directly to them (shove, eg.). This ref is angry and he's T-ing up a player because of it.
Ref should definitely be up for some sort of mandatory retraining and be moved down in the ref rotation to less marquee games for this kind of behaviour.
JB is a good player, but he's playing like he thinks he's an MVP. And he just ain't. He's the third best player on a contender, at best.
