Game Thread 2022-23 Game #39 - BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - JANUARY 8, 2023 - 12:30 PM (PDT) ROOT

[UKRAINEFAN]

The refs made me feel sick as well. This crew should be disbanded.

I think that also. The only evidence that Portland had touched that one ball on it's way out of bounds was that Toronto coaches said emphatically that it did. That shows weak character.

 

[Hoopguru]

Our record at home has been kind of iffy, Guru

Thats very true but once we get guys back we can play better.

 

[Cugel]

there are no available moves to make the team even contenders for contending. not even close.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Well....the next Laker game for sure

I’m going to that one. Got a suite for it.

Not sure about that? Pick up a solid 3&D player and this team looks much better.

They were forced to admit the block foul on Barnes was missed but charged the Raptors with resisting arrest and gave PDX two free throws anyway. Egotistical and inept.

 

[MickZagger]

This game was finally a good example of the effort being there. The talent not so much.

I though that game was a great example of the big advantages of having length on the floor. Raptors had it all over the 4 positions outside PG; Blazers didn't and don't

 

[KingSpeed]

I didn’t see the game but the box score says the bench didn’t play much and when they did play, they weren’t allowed to shoot. Are they really the problem?

Turnovers don't let you shoot much either

It's problematic if you have two monikers.

Got a new phone. Can’t remember the password KSF-ERIC and I’m having trouble resetting it. Only reason I changed it in the first place was because I was having trouble ignoring certain posters with this account. Didn’t help.

I was just playing anyway. I think the KingSpeed moniker is the OG, so you should stick with it. Just my opinion though.

That’s kind of what I was getting at. It being a roster issue problem. Wing rich team > Guard rich team.

We tried hard. The result wasn’t there.

 

[THE HCP]

10 of next 11 are at home.

You want to take a sec to proofread this bro?

Did you just type that the bench ,”wasn’t allowed to shoot.” ? Please clarify.

Simons ball hogging.

I was under the impression that you claiming we had a bunch of games at home would help us win more. Sorry.

 

[Hoopguru]

Hopefully its does, I still think they will finish around 46/47 wins. That's just a wild ass guess however.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

That is me. I do feel they will play better and will win the close games here at home. I felt they would be worse off at this point with the schedule that they had. Very happy being .500 right now.

Not .500

 

[wizenheimer]

Not .500

500(+/- 1) = .500-in-the-no-nitpick-zone

 

[Chris Craig]

500(+/- 1) = .500-in-the-no-nitpick-zone

Just messing with him. I was hoping we would get to 20 wins before 20 losses. Almost.

Well if they lose the next one the season is over!

 

[Chris Craig]

Well if they lose the next one the season is over!

Or they need to admit they are tanking.

 

[THE HCP]

Wow!
So if you predicted 39 wins, you DO know about the game of basketball? Did I do this right? @SlyPokerDog ?

No, because the Blazers are going to win more than 39.
