Game Thread GAME #46 - BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - JANUARY 23, 2022 - SUNDAY - 3:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[James lamphear]

Starters balance scoring and the bench 22 points. 17 assist and 9 fast break points very good half. Now to come back out with the same attitude like the 1st half.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Butler has 10 assists and it’s still the second quarter.

 

[Strenuus]

Biggest halftime lead for us in 7 years.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

This will be a close one, we all know that Blazers can’t hold a big lead.

Few teams can. Comeback wins from 20+ down are nearly a nightly occurrence.

 

[Predator]

30pts is too much to overcome
This is a W

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Jinxing for the good of the tank?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Fuck, now we can't trade him

Strenuus is kidding

 

[illmatic99]

30pts is too much to overcome

raptors came back from down 30 against the mavs last season and won.

 

[Hoopguru]

I bet Chauncey asked RoCo to fake the injury and take one in the spirit of tanking!

 

[MickZagger]

If we keep playing like this our easy March schedule might put us in a decent playoff spot.

 

[OneSport3]

Raptors are only shooting 23% FG. That should regress to the mean just a little bit.

 

[Strenuus]

If we keep playing like this our easy March schedule might put us in a decent playoff spot.

Yay?

 

[MickZagger]

Yay?

i know. I’m not saying I want that. But it’s a possibility. I’m all in on tanking.

 

[B-Roy]

RoCo fine

 

[illmatic99]

good timeout.

 

[James lamphear]

Good timeout by Billups needs get them focused in on both ends.

 

[DDolla]

Yea but this are the Blazers

 

[illmatic99]

you knew they were gonna come out and pressure hard. we need calm down and break it just like ant just did. i like his demeanor. from the school of dame lillard-- you don't know if we're up or down 30 when you look at him.

 

[OneSport3]

Don’t @ me hot take: Ant is better/smarter at breaking presses than Dame…

 

[AldoTrapani]

Been watching football all day. Seems like blazers win all the time now. Fuck. Where was this when I wanted wins..

 

[Hoopguru]

Our young guys like to play transition ball....we're faster these days bringing the ball up

Yep, push the ball and create

 

[Predator]

Jinxing for the good of the tank?

Hope so lol

 

[Predator]

raptors came back from down 30 against the mavs last season and won.

I didn’t say it never happened
The likelihood is next to 0 though

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Didn't think I would ever say this but it seemed like Blazers forgot about CJ in first 10 minutes of third.

 

[Predator]

Yea but this are the Blazers

Which is exactly why they won’t blow it
Now if it was a game to get us into the playoffs or something…

 

[Chris Craig]

Been watching football all day. Seems like blazers win all the time now. Fuck. Where was this when I wanted wins..

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Did anyone honestly feel 30 points was “Safe”

 

[illmatic99]

ant looks shaken. good learning experience.

 

[B-Roy]

Holy struggle Ant

 

[James lamphear]

Who said they couldn't come back sorry to till you it's 48 minute game.
