GAME THREAD: RAPTORS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 30, 2014 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM (PST), CSN

[speeds]

Are they not keeping the dribbling raptor?

They've worn the retros a few times this year so probably just for that.

Our team president just left because of #TheNorth being too North so I'm not sure you even want to co-opt that.

No he left because he hates Canada

 

[speeds]

The only reason I like their new logo is their old one sucked HARD.

And, congratulations to the Toronto Johnsons for having the worst neck tattoos EVER.

BNM

Worse than all those other classy neck tattoos.

Blazers need to dust off some retro jerseys. Are "retro" jerseys sleeved jerseys now? I wouldn't want it at the sacrifice of the Ripcity jerseys.

His wife and kids sure did, apparently. Compared to Los Angeles at least.

Yeah people from Los Angeles can't stand cold weather. Shit man, they panic when it's raining!

This game scares me a little. If we can come out and establish our game early, I'll have more confidence. I just hope we don't get into some running match with these young players

This game scares me a lot. Toronto and Atlanta are the best the East has to offer, and I feel a bit exposed without Rolo.

Toronto is a good team in the making but isn't there yet, re: our last two outings against the Bulls and Cavs, respectively.

Ours aren't.

I'm not sure I get the hate for the short sleeves, though. College ball always had guys with T-shirts on under their jerseys and that was the look. Practically the same thing.

If the NBA goes to this, yeah, too far...

 

[magnifier661]

I will be pissed if I hear more Toronto fans than Blazer fans. And we better win tonight, because I don't want to hear "we the north" chants in the hallways

 

[riverman]

Alright, I predicted a one pt win but I'm always at the bottom of the prediction standings so we should win by 20 tonight! Here we go!

 

[Darkwebs]

WES! Nice to see his first 3 go in!

 

[Darkwebs]

Jeez, we just can't grab a defensive board

 

[BrianFromWA]

Already not stoked about defensive rebounding and cross-court passing.

And just as I say that, Joel gets outworked.

#lillardtime might be starting early

 

[Darkwebs]

The Raptors have scored every time down the court so far, four minutes into the game, thanks to offensive rebounding (or more precisely our inability to grab a D board)

 

[BrianFromWA]

Nic's had two really good looks and two kinda far-off misses

 

[Sinobas]

This team has not been able to run a fast break since the jailblazer days....

 

[Darkwebs]

Blazers too pass happy there. Nic should've shot it

 

[KingSpeed]

Toronto fans here

 

[illmatic99]

Batum needs to fuckin shoot the ball.

 

[Darkwebs]

Surprised the Raptors called time. It appears to me that we needed it more than them. Lol

 

[julius]

How's the defense looking? because the stats seem to say "they ain't playing any"

 

[Sinobas]

Why is Marshawn making gang signs at the camera?

The raptors keep getting the offensive revound

 

[Darkwebs]

Great block by Dame!

 

[Darkwebs]

Kaman with the mid-range swish!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Blazers need to realize quickly that this ain't PHI or NYK.

 

[Sinobas]

Porter and Kersey need to come in and teach these bozos how to run a fast break.

 

[santeesioux]

Why is Marshawn making gang signs at the camera?

He looked high as fuck.
