Game Thread GAME# 63: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - MARCH 4, 2016 - FRIDAY, 4:30 PM (PST), CSNNW

[Sinobas]

Dame steals the inbound pass, launches the 3 for the win

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

50 is nuts

 

[Strenuus]

Actually, hell, it's been a game for about 5 minutes of game time.

 

[DUB]

IMO Toronto is the only team in the NBA who gets a worse run with the refs than us, but it is their home game so....

I feel that in many of the previous games between these two teams, the refs have favoured the Raps in the first half, and the Trail Blazers in the second.

This game seemed more like Raps for the first 3 quarters, Blazers for most of the last quarter; and swallow the whistles at the end.

 

[Sinobas]

no time outs damn it

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Are you kidding 0.9?!

 

[Sinobas]

Will Derozen ruin his perfect record?

 

[Strenuus]

. 9!!!!

 

[PDXFonz]

Who else gets rock hard when they see 0.9 on the clock?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Will Derozen ruin his perfect record?

All about the W

 

[PDXFonz]

24-24 from the FT line is a new NBA record.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Hard fought.

 

[riverman]

Great effort!

 

[Sinobas]

Let's pretend like we won

 

[BlazerCaravan]

24-24 from the FT line is a new NBA record.

24/25 is all that counts now.

 

[Strenuus]

Damn. 2 point loss, gritty team effort. Just a little more on the defensive end and it's a different game.

Good effort. Nice job Dame on getting 50. Sucks it's in a loss.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Whoever worked the clocks tonight... Go fuck yourself! Dame is Torontos daddy!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Damian Lillard has tallied his sixth career game of 40+ points, including three this season.

Damian Lillard is the first player to score 40+ points in the history of the Portland-Toronto series.

Damian Lillard's 44 points are his most in a road game and the second-most in any game of his NBA career (51, 2/19/16 vs. Golden State).

In the past two weeks, Damian Lillard has recorded two of the eight 50-point games in franchise history (50, tonight; 51, 2/19 vs GS).

Damian Lillard joins Stephen Curry (3) as the only NBA players with multiple games of 50+ points this season.

Damian Lillard is the second player in Trail Blazers history to record two games of 50+ points in the same season (Geoff Petrie, 1972-73).

That was the worst officiating I've seen since the Fail Mary.

Losing by that much sucks so bad.

 

[Strenuus]

The game was in doubt all the way up till the last minute. That's why we play the whole game! One possession was all it was (That Jonas O board to Lowry for 3 is the one Im looking at)

Oh well, on to Detroit!

 

[cardova08]

Man, fight hard, never say die. These are qualities of winners. May have lost the battle tonight but this bodes well for the next few months.

 

[DUB]

36.8% of the Raps points came from the free throw line tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

Ah well

 

[julius]

This is some stretch of NBA ball that Damian is playing.

 

[Rhal]

Hard not to be upset at the reffing when you foul purposely twice and they still shoot 54 FTs. Refs werent the whole reason we lost but man tons and tons of calls that pissed me off.
If we play even okay D we win that game but its hard to play D when the other team gets the whistle on everything.

 

[Strenuus]

Man, fight hard, never say die. These are qualities of winners. May have lost the battle tonight but this bodes well for the next few months.

Agreed. Wasn't over until the final seconds. Love it. Bodes well for future games.

The game was never in doubt.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Dame is something special.

 

[oldmangrouch]

Dame and CJ combine for 74.....and the rest of the team is a no-show. Not happy.

 

[cardova08]

Valencuinas (sic?) felt like the difference late. That dude is huge and his size gave Plumlee and Davis problems all night.
