GAME THREAD: RAPTORS @ BLAZERS - FEB. 1st, 2014, SATURDAY, 7:00 PM, CSNNW

I can't believe LMA didn't get a rebound during the entire 2nd qrt. He's so soft.

LOL

 

[Strenuus]

The refs always have to take a shit in the punch by making terrible calls. A phantom traveling on Matthews, a T on matthews for dropping is mouth piece, phantom call that stopped a fast break...

This was funny.

 

[KingSpeed]

This is the first half we have been waiting for for about 2 weeks.

Lillard 15/5 reb/3 assists

LMA - 18/11

Beautiful!!

Absolutely. Against one of the best teams in the league.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Personally, I think this is more accurate.

They're #3 in the East Conference.

 

[KingSpeed]

Personally, I think this is more accurate.

17-9 as currently assembled.

3rd best in the east 13th in the league

Their All Star has 6 points. Our All StarS have 18 & 15. This was Lillard's best first half of the season because he finally scored consistently in the paint. Great great first half. The rest helped.

That's dominance. If I could ask for 1 thing, it's be more assists.

3rd best in the east 13th in the league

Since Gay was traded, they're a top 6 team probably. 17-9.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

31 fouls have been called so far.

Lillard is slowly but surely getting better at the rim and as a result it also getting more calls. Love it.

 

[riverman]

Great first half tonight, the starters are rockin' the house!

2 more than Toronto!

The Raptor broadcasters, with their New Yahwk accents, talked to Jay Triano before the game. The Canada team apparently won't make the cut for summer international play but will play exhibition games. He was upbeat about it.

They also spoke of Terrence Ross. He hoped to play well in his first homecoming to Portland, but is struggling like his teammates.

He's been back before this with Toronto, I'm almost sure.

I know but I couldn't pass up a shot at how shitty the east is.

LMA 4-4 in paint, 2-9 jumpers, 0-1 from 3, 6-8 FT.
Lillard 4-5 in paint, 2-3 jumpers, 0-1 from 3. 3-4 FT


BTW, no truth to the rumor that Denny made me say that to add "special sauce" to the game thread.

 

[KingSpeed]

Phoenix won its 5th in a row tonight. Amazing. Grizz on fire too. Who isn't making the playoffs? Dallas?

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I don't care about that. I'm looking at assists to made baskets ratio.

Nice post

Dallas isn't a good team. I didn't think they had a chance to make the playoffs before the year began.

 

[KingSpeed]

When Lillard drives and scores at a rim, there is no assist but it is a GOOD thing.

 

[Strenuus]

9-20... just a touch under half of them... not good, not bad. (Toronto is at 50%)

 

[Strenuus]

I'm with you on this.

I agree, 2 made jumpers is not enough. He should shoot more!

 

[Strenuus]

Blazers assistant coach says that coaches told team that they had 17 point lead up in Toronto as well... I like that. Don't get complacent.

 

[KingSpeed]

Dallas isn't a good team. I didn't think they had a chance to make the playoffs before the year began.

Just noticed Dallas fell to 9th tonight. They might not recover though they are well coached and Difk is a HOFer playing well. Everyone assumed Phoenix would fall out of it but they are flourishing right now.

 

[BrianFromWA]

you mean, he needs more JUMPSHOTSJUMPSHOTSJUMPSHOTS?

 

[Strenuus]

Refs still going to call fouls every 10 seconds. Boooring.
