Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #68 - BLAZERS VS RAPTORS - MAR 16, 2025 - SUN - 3:00 PM - CHARGE - BLAZERVISION

[Natebishop3]

We really shouldn’t be having any trouble with Toronto. We have a lot more talent on this team.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Gee wonder why Barnes and Poetl aren’t in.

The coach and management are on the same page.

A crazy notion.

 

[Natebishop3]

Pointless win.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Can we please get the 2 time all defense player off the fucking floor

 

[Mediocre Man]

I legit hate this franchise

 

[Chris Craig]

Matisse the block for the win!!!

 

[DUB]

I’m happy for Tisse.

 

[Natebishop3]

They should fine the fuck out of Toronto for this.

Hard to lose when the other team is full on throwing the game intentionally. This should be a massive fine.

They won 6 of their last 7 before this game.

 

[illmatic99]

Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. It was right there.

They should fine us for being fucktards

 

[Natebishop3]

They won 6 of their last 7 before this game.

And you think they have remotely the same amount of talent?

 

[wizenheimer]

lol....Toronto smart...Portland dumb..blazers celebrate!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Everybody loves Matisse

 

[KingSpeed]

Pointless win.

Only 3.5 games behind free-falling Dallas! The championship is still in play.

What’s the point of playing the games if one team is intentionally trying to lose?

 

[blazerkor]

Toronto with the very blatant in game tank. Refusing to play their best players available down the stretch. That being said at least they understand what the point of this whole thing is. It's not winning the game in front of you, it's most definitely trying to set yourself up for the best chance to win a championship in the future.

 

[KingSpeed]

And you think they have remotely the same amount of talent?

They have some very good players.

 

[crandc]

I thought this was a loss for sure. Great comeback. Matisse masterpiece (sorry).

 

[Natebishop3]

Easiest way to stop tanking would be forfeiting picks when you blatantly tank.

Win the championship

I heard a good idea. You get a point for every team you beat that has a better record than you when you play them. Then, of the teams who miss the playoffs, the team with the most “points” gets the best odds in the lottery. Then the teams and the fans root for wins. I like it. Best idea I’ve heard.

 

[Strenuus]

That win cost us 2 years.

Unacceptable by this organization. They need to be better.

 

[Chris Craig]

Nah

 

[Haakzilla]

What a drive and finish by Deni!

 

[Chris Craig]

You can't see me!!!

 

[blazerkor]

The good news for those of you that think we need wins to help our future is that we have the Wizards tomorrow night and we're only 3.5 games out of the play-in. The bad news is that after that we only play 3 teams in our last 13 games that have worse records than we do. We haven't beaten a good team/a team with a better record than us since that unfortunate but good run we had going into the deadline.

We are fucking checkers players in a game of three dimensional chess. I enjoyed a lot of great plays tonight, the fact that Toronto didn't play their best players down the stretch cheapened the win. That being said, we fucked ourselves over again this afternoon. SMH.

Also Deni and Tou are so fucking good, they don't need anymore reps this season. Sit those two and try to get that 8th spot. I should stop saying shit like that because we'll likely end up with the 11th spot, without even a play-in game to show for us because we're just that dumb.

 

[wizenheimer]

TOR Closing lineup: Caselton on a 10-day. Lawson a 2-way player, Robinson who was picked off of waivers, and two end of bench guys

 

[riverman]

Surprised by the win but I like wins. Clingan is going to be a hell of a franchise center as he learns..the guy is a rebounding, shot blocking beast! Hell of an end game tonight. Fuck tanking.
