RAPTORS vs TRAIL BLAZERS 12/10/12 Game Thread

[Driew]

Dame looks horrible tonight. Wonder whats up.

An off night--it happens to rooks...and vets in the NBA.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Damian, 2-7, 0 assists.

He can sure disappear during stretches of a game.

He's a second half player, and the starting lineup isn't what's doing it for us, but yeah... it's almost like he's a rookie out there.

He's not being aggressive enough.

Anytime he gets into the paint the whole raptors squad collapses and he's getting no calls on the contact, they're gameplan was probably 'make all the scrubs beat us'. Same reason Nolan is doing so well, never more than his own man coming at him because they just expect him to be terrible.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Now the game gets really exciting!

 

[Sinobas]

I noticed teams throw a lot of doubles at Dame when he tries to penetrate and "pinch" him like they did Roy. Dame just kinda retreats out of it. Why can't they capitalize on that and pass to the open man?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Pav to LA!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Sasha Pavlovic! Slick!

 

[LuckyShot]

Sweet left handed layup in transition plus the foul. Bricks the free throw horribly.

 

[Darkwebs]

Tough night for Lillard at the rim. He's been stuffed myriad times

 

[VenomXL]

Dame is getting eaten up.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Jaysus, the Raps are fucking horrid.

 

[Darkwebs]

Now we're cookin'

 

[B-Roy]

How can you say his ceiling is a 24 year old, second year player? Parsons hasn't even reached his own ceiling yet. Are you saying his ceiling is what Parsons did in his rookie or second year in the league?

It's what Parsons is right now.

Yeah he's been off the last two games. Seems he is taking his shot too late. The defense gets to recover and block his shots.

 

[magnifier661]

Why isn't Aldridge getting love

 

[magnifier661]

Dam nice board hickson!

 

[LuckyShot]

I wonder if he's trying too hard to get a clean shot. He sees arms extended over his head and tries to go around them instead of just crashing through them to draw the contact. If their arms aren't straight up, I say go right at them.

 

[LuckyShot]

Whoa. What set him off?

 

[VenomXL]

WOAH.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ooh, exciting!

 

[VenomXL]

Did he just swat at his own coach?

 

[VenomXL]

"At least he's showing some life" -Raptors announcers.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Amir...

Ball.

Don't.

Lie.

 

[B-Roy]

Amir Johnson is thrown out of the game.

Raptors fans - YES DAVIS WILL PLAY

Dwayne Casey sends in Aaron Gray.

WTF?

 

[Further]

This is a crazy fun game, I wish I had gone

 

[BBert]

Ha, Ha! Did Johnson really throw his mouthpiece at the ref? Is he doing a Rasheed Wallace impersonation?

Sheed taught him well in Detroit

 

[Further]

I really thought Johnson was going to turn into a very good player, now he's just an idiot who is borderline decent

 

[Darkwebs]

Jeffries got a taste of his own medicine.
