Game Thread GAME# 62: BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - MARCH 1, 2019 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

The Blazers fight and scrapped, the bench helped mount a big comeback, and losing a nail biter on the road is nothing to hang your head over.

But there are thing that can be improved which is what you hope happens.

CJ's late turnover splitting a double team
Cj's late '3' that barely drew iron
Two late missed FT's
Dame/CJ in for the last possession on D
Not blitzing and/or switching Kawhi

Great effort... but that are a number of opportunities for improvement in the last minute or so.

 

I hope we meet ANYONE in the finals... it means were there!!!!

 

You seem to have a pet peeve about people talking about the officiating, and thats fine. Officiating is part of the game though, and NBA officials are notoriously inconsistent.

 

Of course you can. That has never been the response to you and you know it. But lets just leave it at you are right and we are all wrong.

 

Couldn't agree more

 

Officiating seemed to favor the Raptors in this game - but it did not seem to me like it was blatant - they made some mistakes and it seems like they made a couple more on the Blazers this game - I still think that this was a very encouraging game for the Blazers - because if they had ET, EK or no ML - they win this game, imho - no matter what the officiating was.

 

I honestly dont believe they lost because of the officiating. I just think as entertainment having officiating that was consistent would
make the experience much more enjoyable. I find it frustrating,

 

I explain my opinion based on experience, you come in here talking shit and discounting and mocking what Im saying, then I explain how you're doing that and use your logic to show why it makes no sense to mock me, and you respond with some sarcastic smartass shit like "We are all wrong and you are right"?

Smh.

 

It goes both ways

 

Definitely, very rarely is it extremely bad in one direction. I still think its frustrating when sometimes its a foul, sometimes it isnt. Then when its obvious they got one wrong so they do a make up call. Then the way techs are Handled, Ive seem Aminu get a tech for looking at a ref, but some guys spend half the game yelling and complaning (heck I realize Dame is in the refs ear all game so he benefits from it), I just think a tech should be the same for everyone, a foul etc. Its not even just “stars” get the calls, its just like they’re making up the rules as they go sometimes.

 

Stop blaming CJ.

This loss is on Stotts and his FAILURE to play Zach Collins on the first half.

Plain and simple.

 

Meyers was useless last night. Zach played some quality minutes for sure. Meyers is a quality spokesman for the team, but that's about it.

 

I look back at the play to end the half when leonar_ let gasol blow by him

 

CJ is definitely not too blame. Just wish he could do the simple little things at a mediocre level to go with his insane scoring outputs.

 

Dude... You're making this forum almost unreadable.

 

Good, because none of this was my fault. Instead of complaining about me for me reacting to others who mock or take petty shots at me, go argue with another forum about how theres no such thing as the "zone".

 

I think JDC realized how it came across to me. I explained how it did. Things were fine. All I until KJ butted in to mock me and talk shit based on his own misinterpretations. Common theme. And then I defend myself from the same guy who keeps starting shit with me, and then you get random people blaming me for it.

It's as if random people keep trying to fight you at school, and you get in trouble with the office over it because "Well, you get in a lot of fights".

 

There ya go. Try to run someone else off. Not even being subtle about it.

 

There you go blaming me over the bullshit you started.
