Game Thread GAME# 62: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - MARCH 1, 2019 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[Jade Falcon]

it's rinse & repeat: Raptors are going hard at Dame, trying to deny him the ball, drives, and shots; they are allowing CJ space, and CJ is having a good game...but Portland is losing. Several teams have copied the Pelicans template this year and Portland doesn't seem to have an answer

Good ol' Stotts. Coach of the Month my fucking ass. I wanna know who votes for that shit, so that I can smack the fuck out of them.

 

[James lamphear]

To much dribbling not enough players movement and why in the hell they have the ball in between there legs when there trying to threw two guys Aminu. Leonard lack effort on D against Gasol that last play plus looks totally lost when there double Dame.

8 years into Terry Porter's career, Hubie was calling him Kevin Porter

Remember how ESPN would always show bo outlaws picture rather than travis?

 

[Chris Craig]

It'd help if we had a center that wasn't scared of going to the rim offensively. And defense is where we're really struggling right now.

He refuses to do anything offensive...he's a frightened child out there

 

[DDolla]

Quinn Snyder: Really? Stotts as coach of the month? Are you kidding me?

 

[ripcityboy]

Don't really have the players available to affectively go with Aminu at Center.

I don't know what he has against Zach. I would've tried Meyers against Gasol too, but after about 3-5 minutes it was time to try Zach.

A Dallas fan once told me that some Mavericks fans considered Terry the real brains behind their championship. My head literally almost exploded when I read that. But it was on Reddit so that explains EVERYTHING.

 

[LuckyShot]

The ref whining is magnificent

Damn near twice as many fouls on us. You can't even point to your box scores right now. Even if you don't ascribe this to some wild conspiracy theory, you can't argue that the refs haven't been one sided.

Probably the greatest tweet of the night

I agree, but Meyers looked bad, Aminu couldn't have been much worse at center. It wouldn't have been a good line up, but Aminu, or Layman playing your "big" would've been a lot better then Meyers was... Again I think he should've just put Zach in but I'm just throwing out ideas if they don't want to put Zach out there...

 

[Jade Falcon]

I hope that dictator in Turkey chokes on a fucking pig bone.

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers better come out of halftime like this

 

[LuckyShot]

Enes Kanter – OUT (Dictatorship) ‍

LOL that would be awesome if Terry put that down.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Difference is Lin isn't 290 pounds of man meat crashing into someone.

Sometimes you have to accept what the refs are doing in a game and adjust. Because if you don't you will just lose. Yeah, it's not fair, but if you want to win the game you must do it.

I call bullshit on that. He did not crash into him. His 290 lbs was not a factor. It was an inconsistent call by the ref. If it was Harden it does not get called.

 

[Chris Craig]

You feel better?

Haven't seen anyone saying the Blazers are losing because of the refs though...

Fuck ya it is. It's fixed.

 

[Jade Falcon]

You feel better?

No. Still pissed off. If Kanter was in this game, we wouldn't have to play that special Olympics athlete called Meyers Leonard.

 

[LuckyShot]

It's not not one of the multiple reasons though.

Perception can definitely affect foul calls.

Shaq and Dwight in their primes were hacked WAY more than the amount of calls they actually got.

Daaaammm

 

[James lamphear]

I have give the Raptors credit for there defense scheme and now Blazers has to find a way to move the ball faster to prevent the double team.

 

[H.C.]

The ref whining is magnificent

Blazer fans have learned from Steve Kerr.

Holy shit, has Howard come back ever since that whole thing earlier this season?

 

[Mediocre Man]

It can't be that Toronto is shooting 12% better, or the 8 more assists

 

[Labinot41]

Lol Dwight Jaynes

 

[MARIS61]

This is the second straight Blazers game that ESPN will carry.

Not true.

The last 2 scheduled tv games were bumped without notice.

Aminu would've been better but we don't have the personnel to move players over that much.

 

[Jade Falcon]

How the hell does CJ match Leonard? I thought Leonard was lighting it up.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Blazer fans have learned from Steve Kerr.

Blazer fans taught Steve Kerr

Lol Dwight Jaynes

Count on Dwight Jaynes for the ridiculous take.
