Game Thread GAME# 38: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - JANUARY 7, 2020 - TUESDAY, 4:00 PM, NBCSNW

Baze shouldn’t be starting anymore. It’s like not only do we suck, but we’re really not developing anyone either. I’d rather watch Trent and Little gobble up his minutes. Little would also be an upgrade on the boards, and Bazemores defense is overrated anyway so not sure how much we’d lose there either.

Agreed. Baze gambles & is generally out of position a lot.
He gets steals & highlight blocks, so people 'think' he's a good defender... but he's not.

Play the youngin's now.

Disappointing that he didn't select jersey #99.

Maybe he thought twice about wearing that number in Canada...

 

[speeds]

Oof. Figures.

 

[rotary111]

I can't wait to see us blow them out tonight. We need an easy win!

 

[Tince]

Toronto is a 2.5 point favorite? Easy money tonight!

On Toronto or the Blazers? LOL

 

[TBpup]

If you can't beat that depleted mess, just start returning paychecks.

 

[DDolla]

CJ dribbles the ball off his foot, Melo picked it up for 3.

Lamar Hurd: give an assist for CJ... lol

 

[B-Roy]

Bazemore is legitimately one of the worst rotation players we've had in the last 10 years.

 

[hoopsjock]

Has there been a lower percentage shot for the Blazers this season than Bazemore driving into traffic and forcing one up?

id rather have Turner, not joking.

 

[B-Roy]

By far.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

If I was coach; every time Bazemore tried to drive and make a layup and every time he left a three point shooter open, I would bench him. If that didn't help after ten games, I would bench him permanently.

He's sub 40% on layups. I don't understand how a NBA player, much less one that has been in the league for almost 10 years, is so bad at layups.

 

[wizenheimer]

CJ is being only a little MeJ, but it doesn't matter because Bazemore is going full MeJ

 

[Wade Garrett]

Stay down Dame...
Take some time off...

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I really love those blocks Whiteside does that are about waist-high and he just wraps his hand around the ball and keeps it.

 

[DDolla]

Dame should be just resting... this season is over

 

[Tince]

On Toronto or the Blazers? LOL

I'll tell you after the game! I picked Toronto though.

 

[B-Roy]

It seems Simons gets his 3 pointer blocked A LOT.

 

[Wade Garrett]

On pace for 60.......
Good grief.

 

[rotary111]

15 points in the first quarter against this lineup. FML!

 

[TBpup]

Lillard down....

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I wonder if one of the bad effects of signing mediocre players, like Turner, Harkless and Leonard, to long and large contracts, is that you don't have as much chance to find and develop young energetic players?

 

[BonesJones]

Did the Raptors forget to play like they have injuries?

 

[DDolla]

My predictions looking good so far

GLeague Raptors 125
Blazers 99
