PG: Pascal Blazes Portland Like a Backwoods... Raptors Still Lose

[ImaBeatDatAzz]

masai another miss, easily couldve picked up melo. couldve been our shot creator since we are lacking one so much. CJ is a beast!

Carmelo ain't good bruv. Peep his stats. His advanced are even worse the last few years.

yes ik but he is still melo regardless of stats and all that crap. he is still always a threat who can score at will if he wants to. can fade, can slash, shoot the 3. he torched us in the 4th. our golden boy defender OG couldnt guard him and he's how old? we lack a shot creator, plain and simple.

Lol can the DeRozan Siakam comparisons stop? Like do you guys even watch the defensive end of the court?

So glad I blocked that guy

Tough way to lose. Just nothing going right for the team this year. Back-to-back games on the road and lose both by one point. I wonder when the last time that happened to a team was?

Couldn't get that last shot to fall, but great overall game from Pascal. His clutch defence on Lillard with about a minute to go was fantastic on one of the best one-on-one players in the league. Hope those last two end of game shots don't affect him, because it really looks like he's not only getting his game back, but also expanding it in his playmaking and all around play.

Boucher also with another great game. Active and engaged all over the floor. And when his 3-pointers are falling, that's just a great bonus.

OG and Stanley also with some very good moments. The defence when both of those guys are out there is total spiderman meme. Great look to give an offence when Pascal sits, but then they still have two versatile, switchable defenders like OG and Stanley on the court. As long as Stanley keeps playing within himself like he has the past few games, I think he'll keep getting those minutes.

I Would like to see Lowry’s statline just for the 4th quarter. Feel like he was total sh*t.

he was. siakam, fvv, boucher have all been better than lowry this season. he's cost us big time in every close game we've been in so far this season.

I got flamed for saying he's literally costed us 4 games in the clutch this year.

[GordanFreeman]

Difference between having a superstar and not. Portland needs a bucket, Dame and CJ come in clutch. Raptors relying on Fred and Pascal = loss. Need to blow it up, this roster is going nowhere.

Fred>cj when you take defense into account.

[vado]

The refs made this game close. More contact on the Siakam drive than the Lee shot

They don't ever call that foul that late in a game..you can get away with contact in the paint in the NBA.

If it was Lillard on the other end he would have got the call.

Love Lowry but he needs another "day off". When his shot isn't falling he's becoming a liability which never used to be the case in previous seasons.

This is the worst case scenario.

To have two of these losses back-to-back is going to shatter what little confidence this team had left.

Yes they're professionals and they're paid to play but the disillusionment will start to creep in to team morale.

this is the best case scenario....moral victory. Our core players play good but they still lose.

Raptors are a good team despite what the record says, which is why I want to see them add a top 5 pick to it.

This is the derozan era raptors again. Iso demar. Iso Siakam. Bricked game winners. Times like this i miss Kawhi

Raps would be nice if they had CJ.

I'd settle for Beal. Get beal

[King Ken]

The Raptors aren't a bad team. Their record will improve.

[EarlyRaptor]

Losers lose. Losers find ways to lose. The raptors are losers this year. Siakam ain’t that dude.

[Parataxis]

It was good game. Don't know why people are complaining

You must be new here.

Carmelo is a bad basketball player at this point and Portland is only playing him cause of rep and his repoire with Dame and CJ

they really really really really really really really really really really really really want Pascal to be the guy. If he isnt, then they all look dumb for giving him that contract eh? They over played and over fed him in the playoffs too, hoping for the same result and it was a disaster. They even benched Serge.....

Feeding a non iso player the ball at the end of games isnt going to end well. Run a play, play by committee, thats this teams strength.
Frustrating to see how the raps are playing in the playoffs and now so far this season. Not enjoyable to watch them force the narrative.

You cant really run plays at the end of games man.

youre right, just chuck it into somebody and have them chuck it up and pray. Hows that working out the last 2 games?
How did that logic work with Lou Will?
When you dont have the talent you have to.
I get that you risk a turnover, but thats better than forced up shot.

this kid stays delusional. 2-8 u bum xD

[LoveMyRaps]

I'd trust Siakam to take the last shot with the game on the line any day of the week.

[Cobra Kawhi]

Lowry should be taking the final shots not pascal

Lowry killed us tonight

[Ramed Nazored]

I’ve lost count of how many double digit leads we’ve blown in just these 10 games. Should Nurse be on the hot seat? Feels like he’s safe cause of the title in 2019 but if we hadn’t won that title, he’d probably be really close to getting fired

Look at what he’s been given to work with man.

The bench features Bembry, Baynes, Len, Yuta, a rookie, Watson, Thomas, TD, and Norm, who’s been bad.

This is not a good roster. Thats evidenced by the change in the rotation every night.

Lillard wouldn't go for a hook shot in the paint. nobody gets that call especially vs covington who gets away with murder at times.
