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

[Boob-No-More]

Freeland would get £0 playing at home.

Can anyone name a British basketball team of the top of their head?

With the way he protects the rim, maybe he could be the starting goalkeeper for Manchester United.

I need to puke...

There's no hiding in basketball shorts. Douchebaggery.

Holy shit! The game thread is 43 pages long??! Did a punch of Raptors fans show up. I haven't checked yet.

Question: if they called Batum's block a clean block, what happens? It was still in bounds. Our ball? Their ball? Jump ball? Anyone know?

It was goaltend

It was goaltend

I know. But if they called it NOT a goaltend, then what?

By the way, you guys trashed Wright way too much in here. He has been making a lot of big plays for us lately and in tonight's game. I've loved having him on the floor.

 

[THE HCP]

I earned my check tonight FAMS! Most referee replays in a long time. What a game!

Blazers played, or at least shot, craptastic most of the game. That always leads to more posting for some reason.

I know I got as mad as I have all season a couple of times and "posted in anger"

"I swear I didnt mean it baby ..."

You trash players from other teams for much less. Wright is a good kid but the knucklehead plays he does are what young players do, not an experienced vet

To me, Wright is what some posters accuse Batum of being (and I don't think he is). I just don't think Wright has his head in the game or his intensity level up most of the time. He falls asleep, makes bad drives, bad decisions, and that pump fake. Oye. Just shoot the ball my man!

I agree. I can live with a brick if he wasn't pump faking. That shit bugs the hell out of me

Live by the 3......Die by the 3

Premature gloating???

Bingo. Yes, Wright occasionally does something positive, but his positive contributions don't even come close to making up for all the horribleness he provides. Dorrell Wright is the epitome of "one step forward, two steps back", only instead of two steps it's often 3, 4, 5 steps backwards.
And again, the fact that he's getting regular playing time really reflects poorly on Stotts. I get why so many people like Stotts, but to like him to the degree that you do is lunacy. He's doing well by getting us wins in the regular season, but there's a lot about his coaching that needs to be questioned. It's a good thing there aren't very many good coaches in the NBA, otherwise Stotts would be below average - but because most of his counterparts are middling he's good by default.

You all should check out the toronto rapters realgm forum. You'd almost think that the Blazers paid the refs off.

They take everything to heart. Everything is personal. They think the team is ignored by the national media in the US. They think they get the short end of the stick from referees. They think their players don't get the credit they deserve. They think their fanbase is the best.

They remind me of another forum I just can't put my finger on it...

They are probably more right than wrong.

I actually didn't know Clutchfans existed until last night when you guys were mocking them. I think maybe my life is a little worse now?

It's funny they are hating smith as expected

How can you not. His old team is winning every game and Rockets are losing. Smith and Howard both kill the offensive spacing Harden and their other players need. Howard at least makes up for it by being a beast in other aspects of the game. I'm enjoying watching this; reminds me of Trader Bob signing Rod Strickland.

By the way we can all be Raptor fans tonight as they play the Warriors. If the GSW lose then we are tied for best record in the league (although I would assume that they hold the "tie breaker" at this point due to their win over us)

Imagine their free throws with them on the floor
