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

It is obvious Stotts decided in advance that Leonard was going to get all of Kanter's minutes, without any regard to the flow of the game or how he was playing. Collins ought to be on the phone to his agent demanding a trade this summer. I don't know what Stotts has against the kid, but this is pathetic.

 

[TBpup]

My goodness....Aminu WIDE OPEN from '3' and that wasn't close.

 

[BonesJones]

Shut up Lowry, you went through him for that rebound.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Blazer fans have learned from Steve Kerr.

I dislike NBA refs equally on wins as much as losses... .

I don't know how I feel about "the whole refs fix games" and all that stuff, but I just think NBA refs are really inconsistent. It helps us sometimes, it hurts us sometimes. It's just frustrating and I would understand if a Toronto fan looked at some of the calls or non-calls and thought they were frustrating tonight too.

 

[BonesJones]

Pathetic offense.

 

[brooklynballer]

Jeez our


I'm not sure Terry gives a shit, honestly. His belief in his system is absolute. Even continuous playoff losses it's obvious, he'd rather fail with what he knows than lose with what he doesn't.

Ding ding ding ... we have a winner!! Spot on bro

 

[BonesJones]

Dame needs to be brought off more off ball screens, curls, and what not. Also, more side pick n rolls with Nurkic rolling baseline.

 

[Cugel]

This game is over
How can JN not have a single field goal attempt.
I know its only 7 points but just not sharp tonite

 

[oldmangrouch]

Fuck ya it is. It's fixed.

Just curious, but what do you get from taunting the fans when the team is losing?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

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

Well the easy answer was Zach, but that didn't seem to be on the table lol.

 

[BonesJones]

Get back on defense...

Ugh. We're beating ourselves and not doing the little things. That's what's frustrating about this game.

 

[ripcityboy]

Our transition D is garbage and we can't even get off a shot before the clock goes out going the other way. All Terry cares about is setting up Dame and CJ. We could be the 86 Celtics, that's all he'd give a fuck about.

 

[TBpup]

CJ in a zone! Keep feeding him.

 

[LuckyShot]

Get back on defense...

Ugh. We're beating ourselves and not doing the little things. That's what's frustrating about this game.

What is really frustrating is it was entirely predictable that we would play like this tonight.

 

[BonesJones]

Goddamn C.J. good shit

 

[BonesJones]

Dame you gotta see the helpside before you drive dammit. You had 3 guys underneath...

 

[Chris Craig]

That was a 2

 

[B-Roy]

We are getting killed trying to matchup in transition.

 

[TBpup]

Nice pass Chief. Thank you for not dribbling,.

 

[Cugel]

CJ is the only one not on 'ludes

 

[BonesJones]

Pascal is kinda like a chill, lengthier quicker better shooting Draymond. If he was in Golden State he'd get 6 assists a game and be an all-star.

 

[Labinot41]

I dont feel good about the Playoffs. It's so easy to take Dame out of the Game.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Jeez our

I'm sorry I can only give this one like.

 

[BonesJones]

Nice pass Chief. Thank you for not dribbling,.

Next possession he has a great drive and finish... Lol.

 

[LuckyShot]

I dont feel good about the Playoffs. It's so easy to take Dame out of the Game.

I think that's why we acquired guys like Hood and Kanter. They can get baskets on their own.

 

[BonesJones]

I dont feel good about the Playoffs. It's so easy to take Dame out of the Game.

What?
'
*5 game winning streak with a win at home vs GSW and on the road vs BKN, PHI, & BOS
*Down 5 at Toronto after playing poorly

And you don't feel good about playoffs based off the way things are going? We'd be winning with Nurk not getting into foul trouble or if we had Kanter. Both guys can make teams punish for trapping Dame on the pick n roll.

 

[Jade Falcon]

What is really frustrating is it was entirely predictable that we would play like this tonight.

You wanna talk about predictable.....

Dame you gotta see the helpside before you drive dammit. You had 3 guys underneath...

I saw that shit coming a mile away. He's NEVER going to win going up against 3 bigs like that. Never. And yet he keeps doing it.

 

[TBpup]

Next possession he has a great drive and finish... Lol.

A one dribble drive....didn't know the bar for 'great' was quite that low...lol.

I think these two teams make life difficult on officials.
Both teams are physical, both teams attack the rack and really you could call a foul on every play.
For example the last 14 seconds to end the 1st half.
Gasol on the pick put two hands in Aminu's back and shoved him. - No call.
Portland fouled Leonard - No call.
It was a blocking foul on Lillard - No call.

Then I saw several others on both teams to start the half.
Neither team is happy so I'd say the officials are doing a good job tonight.

 

[B-Roy]

2 canadian players? Nik Stauskas and who?
