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

[Boise Blazer]

Man I love the fact that Dame has a fairly quiet 26/9. We have come to expect it and he delivers

 

[illmatic99]

Why we dont go to LA on the block in OTs is beyond me. Wayyy too many early threes and turnovers. Sloppy win

 

[BBert]

For the life of me, I have no idea what the one dudes prob is with him but..

LA is a stud. Big reason for comeback victory

+13 for the game.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Trail Blazers have now won 5 of the 6 games at the Moda Center this season in which they trailed entering the fourth quarter.

 

[MickZagger]

Freeland's a keeper.

Honestly.

10 shots in the paint, 9 outside. I think that if he does that most games even other dude's problems go away.

 

[DUB]

Teams are going to learn that they better completely put us away when they can because we honestly believe we can always come back. That's a lot of confidence that grows with each win

I hate it when my teams face teams that have that "never say die" attitude. It's so deadly.

That fighting spirit is something that has greatly aided Australian national teams in multiple sports time and time again.

Quiet? He took 24 shots! It wasn't quiet, it was inefficient.

I would rather this from LA too

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Freeland's a keeper.

Honestly.

Yeah, it would be ideal to give him a 3/10.5 contract

 

[Boise Blazer]

Quiet? He took 24 shots! It wasn't quiet, it was inefficient.

I guess I'm referring more the more complete game with the assists going up and the defensive improvement. I had no idea that he had that many assists tonight

 

[DUB]

Freeland's a keeper.

Honestly.

He just needed time to adjust to the NBA.

I'd love if he was allowed to start looking for his own shot, but I'm not sure Stotts will let him.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The irony hurts - this is a GEM from clutchfans:

"I honestly don't miss Lowry. seeing him fall after every shot is annoying as hell."

 

[fumanchu]

Nice win! Shot way too many threes in OT tho. Needed some points in the paint.

 

[Boise Blazer]

That is just classic. What world do they live in?

He might next year depending on the look of the teams front court.

 

[Further]

If Lillard got the respect Lowry got from the refs tonight he would be a clear cut MVP frontrunner.

BS.
Lillard and Lowry both get mild respect. Both were fouled several times that weren't called. If Lowry got a bunch of respect do you think the refs would have called 5 fouls on him? Both are just beginning to gecalls, the difference is Lowry tries to draw more fouls than Lillard. But Lillard has the smoother game.

Lol good god...

Who needs Lowry when you have Beverly! Who needs Chandler when you have Ariza! Who needs Yao when you have Howard! Who needs Tmac when you have Harden! Who needs...

 

[Boise Blazer]

By the way, is Stotts western conference coach of the month?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Man, after all this.. Kaman was dookie tonight. He is definitely the jamal Crawford of the center position.

I know he put up solid numbers but his dribble is so loose.. I cringe half the time

 

[PDXFonz]

I've been reading clutchfans almost every day. It's like the National Enquirer, except with this I want to know who got fat overnight because they might be pregnant.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Lowry is as anti-clutch as I've ever seen this season.

He had 10 chances to tie or take the lead and drove it into three defenders every time - and was blocked.

It really is entertaining.

 

[santeesioux]

Lakersground or Clutchfans, which is more entertaining?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Clutchfans and it isn't close. Lakersground is just sad now.

Clutchfans are like a bunch of 35 year old women who are getting remarried after being spurned by multiple lovers yet they think they're better off with their new man.

Lakersground is like the old woman who lost her husband in the Korean War and never took another lover

It's cause he plays mostly on heart but doesn't quite enough have the talent to back it up. So he thinks he's superman when he's more like stimpy.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame shot 15 threes tonight. Smh. Wayyy too many bro

That's... that's kinda sad and sweet.

From Raptors forum:

There is a reason why Portland is one of the best home court in the league, their fans have a tradition of being rabid enough to influence refs on key calls.
