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

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul...

 

[Pinwheel1]

Fuck the Toronto coaches cries on every play.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Foulfoulfoulfoul.

Ha, you beat me by about 5 seconds!

 

[BonesJones]

We need to play better defense.

 

[ripcityboy]

Man. Toronto has put a good team together. This may be the year they get to the Finals.

 

[BonesJones]

That's more like it.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

We need to play better defense.

I think what's frustrating is it feels like Toronto's reaching and playing similarly on defense as the Blazers but the Blazers are being called for all the reach's. It's gonna be rough if the Blazers can't get away with contact and Toronto can.

 

[B-Roy]

That was a foul on Lin....

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I know, they are stacked

What's more frustrating is my BlackRock that I go to daily to work on videos and stuff and sometimes watch games just changed from doing flavored Rockstars to flavored "Fuel".

"Fuel" is their own self-made energy drink and it's trash. I'm triggered.

Only because Lebron left the east. What's funny is every team Lebron was on out East was assumed to go the finals and did, but he may not even make it to the playoffs in the west.

 

[Chris Craig]

The first game since the break that the Blazers don't look like the better team

I mean, none of their's has been as blatant as Nurk's 2nd foul.

lol, that isn't the response I was expecting, but it's the response I needed.

 

[JDC]

We need to play better defense.

Trouble containing the ball, leading to most of the fouls.

Too much overplay when ball is in Gasol's hands, led to a couple back doors. Help has to come from someone other than Gasol's man.

 

[JDC]

Toronto has been impressive so far.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I mean, none of their's has been as blatant as Nurk's 2nd foul.

Yes, but I think Leonard and Gasol have got away with a few.

 

[ripcityboy]

"How to pass like you've been snorting ether all day." Blazers 101

 

[JDC]

Layman has had a couple awful shot clock awareness plays this year...

 

[ripcityboy]

Only because Lebron left the east. What's funny is every team Lebron was on out East was assumed to go the finals and did, but he may not even make it to the playoffs in the west.

Wow. That's incredible. Did this just happen?

 

[PHXBlazer1]

There it is

 

[ripcityboy]

Even Lin getting hot off us.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Lin is annoying

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

The Blazers won't win this game if they keep turning it over so much, their passing is awful and making it so Toronto is seeing a non-set defense way too often.

 

[Darkwebs]

Well, the Blazers are getting a taste of what's it like to play against one of the best teams in the NBA

 

[DDolla]

Blazers not looking good.

 

[Chris Craig]

What a shitty 1st

 

[TBpup]

That sucks for Layman. He is now 0-2 because he got the ball with 1 second left and had to throw it up with a defender right on him and .5 seconds left on a pray lob attempt.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I have never hated Toronto more. It's bad enough that Canada is run by a Bollywood moron.

That Defense.....I don't think we can overcome that. And of course Dame doing all the work himself.....

 

[ripcityboy]

They aren't clued into each other very well. Even Layman looks fuzzy today.
