Portland Trailblazers 22-13 VS. Toronto Raptors 19-17

[J~Rush]

Trolling just makes the victory that much sweeter (or loss that much more annoying).

[The Sebastian Express]

I predict a loss and a flood of Toronto fans.

[PDXKnight]

It should be interesting to see if the Blazers can carry their winning ways on a loooooong road trip. They have the potential to gain the respectability of any ant-Blazers critics remaining if they can go at least 4-3. I'm confident that as long as the Blazers continue to play at the level that they've played at home, they can make this a memorable road trip.

Guys--no need to point out that the trolls are trolling. A better way to deal with it is to hit the little triangular button with the exclamation point in it. That will alert us of the trolling activity and with our god-like mod powers we shall smiteth the insolent

Thanks!

In preparation, all of us should rewatch the South Park movie and memorize all the lyrics to "Blame Canada!"

"Shut your f@#$in' face, Uncle f#$%er!"

LOL, just joking. The South Park movie is one of my favorites. And I don't even watch South Park.

Working graveyards makes it hard to watch blazer games, so I'm pretty excited for this one

Predicting a Blazer win, angry Raps fans, and multiple threads in the Toronto forum about how Bargs is worthless.

[vaaron]

well these early sunday games usually are just brutal for west coast teams. just have to wonder if the raptors sort of sixth man the Brass Rail did its job last night too.

Unless I misread the stats, 4 of the 5 top NBA 3pt shooters are in this game.

In other words, ZONE = DEATH. Both teams should play mostly man-to-man defense with so many snipers on the court.

Blazers-Raptors games are always fun. Expecting a high-scoring match!

This will likely be the result.

Good morning Portland from Raptorland!!'

This should be a great game today. I really like what Portland has become this year, and you guys must be freaking out waiting for Oden to get in on the action next year. Things are looking pretty good for the Portland franchise.

I think this will be a close game, but I'm giving the edge to my Raptors today. Everyone's pretty pumped that Jamario Moon has been invited to the Slam Dunk contest, so I expect us to play with a little extra mojo. Here's to a great game, and no friggin' injuries!!

[Billy]

I'm looking forward to seeing Moon. I didn't get to see the game earlier this year.

Best of luck to both teams.

On paper it looks like it will be a close, high scoring game. Should be fun to watch?

For the Raptors fans, who will the Raptors give the ball to in the crunch or for a last second shot?

[hoop_head]

Bosh is the #1 crunchtime option, but if you guys are giving him problems we'll probably look to outside shooting to save the day. That would mean Parker or Kapono for a clutch shot.

[cucad8]

Anyone see Bargnini stick his foot out and trip Roy as he went through them?

[mojomarc]

Joel seems to be our best player so far.

[mojomarc]

Roy is looking like Jason Kidd at the moment. Hopefully he can keep it up.

[Twith]

Is this on TV? I can't find it anywhere!

EDIT

Found it, it's on whatever the FOX affiliate is in Eugene.

[cucad8]

in Portland, KGW, channel 8, NBC

It's on League Pass.

Impressive one-on-one defense by Frye over Bosh on that last possession
