GT. BLAZERS @ RAPTORS - SUNDAY 6PM - Sportsnet / 1050 

Post#1 » by Mikistan » Sun Jan 23, 2022 2:03 pm

Team positive presents

A winning team

A star rookie

Two potential all-stars

Hopefully the 8th game out proper starting lineup plays together

No lillard

And ex-raptor Norman Powell becoming a raptor killer?

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

First page real estate.

SHOULD be a Raptors win. Blazers are in shambles.

Happy that Jusuf Nurkic is FINALLY being featured in the Portland offense. What a beast.

Portland needs to move on from both Dame and CJ. Build that squad around Nurkic.

Need this win. Time to claw our way up to a #6 or #5 seed and hope for a favourable first round matchup.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

Fully expect Pascal, ADOBE and Scottie to feast against the Blazers in the paint/post.

The Father BooShay/Previous vs Nurkic matchup should be interesting.

Norm has missed last 7 games, hasn't played since January 7. Is he back tonight?

Another homecoming ruined by the ridiculous lack of fans in arena

He has been ruled out for Sunday...tonight. Ruled out for personal reasons.

Need that prediction for the accent tonight, though. :lol:

But game is on Sportsnet. And she was mysteriously absent last TSN game

As long as we stay healthy, this feels like a stretch where we can start to reel off a bunch of wins. Portland will be without Lillard and Powell tonight, Chicago is dealing with numerous key injuries (Ball and Caruso out for 4+ weeks, LaVine out, etc.) and Herro (and maybe Lowry? not sure what's going on there) will likely miss one or both of the upcoming games next week. We also play the Hawks and Hornets twice in the next two weeks then we have a couple very winnable games at OKC and Houston. Actually, the next 20 games are looking pretty favourable overall.

10 games vs -.500 / 10 games vs +.500
6 games vs top 10 teams / 9 games vs bottom 10 teams
9 home / 11 road
7 B2B / 7 opponent B2B

I feel like we could move up to #5 or #6 before we go on that 6-game road trip in early March if we can get a win (or more) from each of the Heat/Bulls/Hornets.

Blazers missing like half their rotation (expect a Freddy Allstar game because of this), so this should be a win.
