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

[julius]

hard fought losses are my favorite type of losses.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

This is crazy.

 

[BlazerLoverInLosAngeles]

So did I call it? Much to fear, here.

 

[BBert]

Which team is on a road trip, and which team is playing at home after three days off?

 

[BrianFromWA]

Why a turn around with the way the games been called? Someone just drive to the basket and get 2 free throws? I mean we ditched the 3 pointer and did it all game?

'Cuz when you're 3-15 on your jumpers, you gotta believe the next one's going down, right?

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Dame or Wes?

 

[Strenuus]

no comment.

Was this from your speech writer or spokesperson?

 

[Rhal]

We coasted this last 5m and now it may cost us the game. There is no reason to be out worked by a team on a BB when youv had three days off

This team wouldn't know what to do with themselves if the game wasn't close.

I'm scared re this game. Kyle Lowry not getting chosen for the All-Star game was deemed the biggest snub this year, and Demar DeRozen thought he deserved a nod as well. So I'm thinking the Raptors are up sky high for making a statement game. Our only advantage is that the time zones favor our energy over theirs, and the Blazers had two bad losses in a row and really don't want a third one. I just feel this team often underestimates the teams not in the top 6, and that could be their downfall tonight. But then, there's the Rose Garden crowd. I think we'll squeak out a win. If we bring great defense, we could stomp out a win by the end of the 3rd, but I think that's still a work in progress...!

As I said...

Thanks for the JINX!

 

[BlazerLoverInLosAngeles]

And I posted that well before the game started.

 

[BBert]

This is it.....

 

[BlazerLoverInLosAngeles]

I'm not on the court - they are.

 

[BBert]

Scored "too soon"?

 

[Strenuus]

Nice Lillard!! took it to the rim!

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Now play some D!

 

[B-Roy]

Lillard for the lead.

 

[Strenuus]

Scored "too soon"?

Yep. Way too much time. Lillard likes to do that.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Good job by mb to disagree with refs like the mb of old.

 

[BrianFromWA]

to be fair, the "too soon" rule can work both ways. TOR can't afford to milk the clock to 2 seconds before the shot

[BlazerLoverInLosAngeles]

Time for a signature steal from Wes Matthews...!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

We've given Toronto too much time.

 

[Strenuus]

Oh shit. Jump ball. Chance to get it.

 

[BBert]

Jump ball.

This is exciting.

 

[Strenuus]

God this is torture!!!

 

[BBert]

I'd rather be the team with the last shot.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Time for a signature steal from Wes Matthews...!

Close enough for me to say you called it.

 

[BBert]

LOLOL.
