Game Thread GAME# 58: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - FEBRUARY 26, 2017 - SUNDAY, 3:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[VenomXL]

Cant get stops. Same old story.

 

[EGame]

Needed cj to step up with dame tonight. Meyers also hurts us a lot

nothing new there

 

[Strenuus]

The hell happened? Literally 2 minutes ago we were down 2. lol. This team.

 

[HailBlazers]

Amuni fielding the C spot ? Nice ....

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

At least we have shown improvement as a team since Nurk has been added, I hope Turner being back soon will also help defense and all movement some more.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

H

Vonleh was playing Ibaka terrifically in the first half. Not sure why we're going away from that. Also, why take out Nurkic? It's as if Terry Stotts wants to lose. How many post ups did they run for Nurk? Maybe 3? :-(

Stotts is wack.

He is doing his job.

 

[Strenuus]

Taking Nurk out... lane opens up... Good job Stotts.

 

[Rhal]

We are having one of those "we dont' knwo how to play defense" few minutes which resulted in 0 misses by Toronto.

 

[Troy.Ave]

We need one stop and Dame gives Cory Joseph a straight line to the rim. Then if that wasn't enough he fouls him and-1.

Dame is one of the worst starting defenders in the NBA if not the worse. He makes Harden look all defense

 

[LuckyShot]

Dunno what Stotts expects defensively with that lineup.

 

[Rhal]

Yea he doesn't... way to hyperbole that.

 

[Strenuus]

Dunno what Stotts expects defensively with that lineup.

That subtle tank, though...

 

[KingSpeed]

Why are the fans holding up big heads of Alfonso Ribiera and Richard Simmons?

 

[Rhal]

oh man i'm dying on Lillard just falling on that ilbaka screen. He was not expecting that at all.

 

[Scalma]

Stotts taking out Nurk was the right move. He can't guard Ibaka on the perimeter. Toronto is playing small. This stotts hate is so dumb.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Hmmmmm....

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

"Damian Lillard keeping the Blazers alive" that should be our 2016-17 season motto.

 

[Rhal]

Does Derozen ever shoot under 10FTA against us? I'm not sure if he ever does.

 

[The Professional Fan]

I'd be so fucking frustrated if I was Dame. The dude gets NO calls

 

[KingSpeed]

Damn Dame and CJ also close

 

[Rhal]

That Miss by CJ pretty much sums up his night.

 

[LuckyShot]

I'd be so fucking frustrated if I was Dame. The dude gets NO calls

He gets about 1 out of every 3 when he drives and gets knocked around.

 

[VenomXL]

Had a shot there.

 

[Cippy91]

I'd be so fucking frustrated if I was Dame. The dude gets NO calls

Meanwhile players like derozan and harden can catch a bit of wind and get calls. It's bullshit

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

He gets about 1 out of every 3 when he drives and gets knocked around.

He just needs to grow his beard out and act like he is getting whiplash and he would average 12 fta

 

[The Professional Fan]

He gets about 1 out of every 3 when he drives and gets knocked around.

And DeRozen gets 3 of 3

 

[KingSpeed]

We still have a chance. Need another stop.

 

[Rhal]

To win this we need to go down hit a quick shot then play defense and make sure they miss or turn the ball over then we need to hit another shot. Come on top 3 pick!@

 

[A$AP Meyers]

Stotts taking out Nurk was the right move. He can't guard Ibaka on the perimeter. Toronto is playing small. This stotts hate is so dumb.

Vonleh should be in

 

[Cippy91]

Derozan 12 points from the line. Yeah...
