Game Thread 2023-24 GAME #63 - BLAZERS VS RAPTORS - MARCH 9, 2024 - SATURDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

[Tince]

I think Banton is worth keeping.

I think Kris can be an 8th or 9th guy on a playoff yeah, but a lot hinges on improving his shot. He's pretty good at everything else. I know he's older, but hopefully with the resources the organization can provide, he gets better.

This seems like the ideal path to stay in the lottery forever.

Man, I'm loving Scoot's game tonight.

Banton up to 14. Cronin has options. Trade Brogdan and keep?

Keep both

Billups won a challenge, he must have borrowed Udoka's tablet

Is it really $2 now? That's a deal?

 

[Whyachi]

double timeout, Whitney Houston bumpin

 

[Tince]

The Raptors will make some runs. The Blazers may want this to get a win at home, probably not. Chauncey will sit guys late as he usually does to allow the opponent to come back.

Per usual: You were right, I was wrong!

 

[Whyachi]

Ayton cleaning up, Toronto can't stop the big guy

double timeout, Whitney Houston bumpin

 

[Tince]

Blazers radio guy is worse

"Dick comes out on the floor"

Travis exclusively calls players by their last name. Total professional!

 

[Chris Craig]

Per usual: You were right, I was wrong!

Not over yet.

 

[Whyachi]

Dick hammered Simons

 

[Tince]

Is this a good challenge? Best case is a jump ball? And they probably won't win it anyway.

 

[Tince]

Not over yet.

You correctly predicted it would be a game.

 

[Chris Craig]

Is this a good challenge? Best case is a jump ball?

I thought it was.

Interesting call.

 

[Tince]

Blazers are going to win this challenge and the game.

If that's a foul, then every drive to the paint could have a foul called.

 

[Whyachi]

Coach Billups said Camara never fouls, challenges the call

 

[Sheldon Shape]

God damnit Raptors come all the way back and have trouble closing it.
