Official Game Thread: RAPTORS vs TRAIL BLAZERS

[farzi]

Blazer77, Roy played 9 minutes in the Utah game where Martell exploded in the 3rd. Roy and Blake both went down again in the GS game. Brandon is fine, and although McMillan hasn't stated whether Blake will play or not, I'd really like to see the lineup of

Roy
Webster
Outlaw
Aldridge
Pryzbilla

No matter the starting lineup, I think these teams are about equal right now, and am expecting a helluva game. Unfortunately, I think Raptors pull this one out, but imo, whoever wins, does so by 5 or less.

Good luck boys, I'm setting my alarm now :snore:

Wow, more Portland fans posting here than Raps fans so far. This must be how the GD threads look on other boards when Raps play them. Not sure I like it.

Anywhoo, Bosh continues to dominate till we see the zone, and then Kapono/Parker bust it to pieces. (Assuming offcourse Smitch does the whole coaching thing, and doesn't just throw Graham out there when we get a lead). Also, Bargs snaps his boards funk.

Raps take it by 5...ish.

raps take it but in a close game. moon crowns lamarcus and bosh with another 40/10 godlike performance

I already predicted you guys would win, but saying that Moon will crown Aldridge, and Bosh will score 40 is just over the top.

This game will be brutal for my Blazers.

Too early
Blake probably won't play
Roy is still feeling the results of his tailbone injury


Good luck the rest of the season Raptor fans.

Im really looking forward to this all out slugfest by two up and coming teams..

104-97 Raps win

lol go back to ur board if me saying that is making you angry

[dagger]

Moon seems to be getting on a new high from being named to the slam dunk competition. His last few games have had some of the zip of his early starts. I'm curious to see if this carries over to today.

let's get this!


about proline: We lost to the Blazers once this year, they have a better record, they play in a tougher division. Yet the odds are with us in this game. Sure it's at home, but were just a game over .500 at home, Now I'm still going to bet on the raps, but I would have liked some better odds. for the non believers like d-tox, you should know pro line is paying 3.50 for a blazer win. I think I'll bet tie, actually.

Let's Go Raptors!!!!!!!!!!

I predict a Raptors win. This game is 9:30 am Portland time and the Blazers don't even practice until at least 11:00 in the morning. They are usually still sleeping at this time. Portland will play sluggish. This is also a home game and a revenge game for the Raps...it should be a win for them.

Starting PG Blake may be out and if he plays, won't have a lot of mobility. Roy just had an MRI on his knee....will play but is still sore from a couple of injuries.

Anyone banged up for the Raps? I'm hoping for a good game because both teams play a 'fun' brand of basketball. Saw that JG is looking for a PG, what is he looking for....Jack may be on the block at some point and may start today with Blake out so it will be a good chance to see what he is like.

Good Luck.

Da,m. Greg Oden aged another 15 years since draft night. at the draft and last year he passed for a 35-40 year old man.... now he looks between 50-60, and that is not exaggerating.

[hoop_head]

Bring 'em on!!

[Windmill]

Didn't Portland have like a 3-day break or something?

Anyways, I think having Blake out (if he indeed does not play) will help our cause a lot. I saw the last Portland game against the Warriors and he was lighting it up from the 3 and everywhere else. Another guy we need to watch out for is Martell Webster who is another threat from the 3-point land. Same goes with James Jones. Damn they have a lot of shooters.

I don't think this will be an easy game for us. The last time we played you guys Roy was supposedly injured as well, and you know what happened there.
