Game #50: Toronto Raptors 110 - Portland Trail Blazers 103

[white men can't jump]

Losing control of the pace a bit here. Good timeout.

[Raptor Jesus]

Defence suffered in that stretch, pace has been up since the first Q

scola just should not play with JV

[Barolt]

Why are you surprised? Happens all the time.

Feels like we were using Ross/JV a lot to end the first, then just stopped involving them at all in the last 4-5 minutes.

Random thought from a few plays back. Something that pisses me off about Scola is he doesn't give a crap about finding his own man in transition. He finds A man, then is happy to let everyone else scramble to find someone. Usually ends up with an open man (like Aminu in the corner) as JV gets switched onto a perimeter player (and late, because there's no freaking reason for the switch in the first place) who gets an open shot, either right away or after some play action.

Another great play out of the time out

Doesn't matter how well Ross, JV or anyone plays, the offense will always revert back to Lowry and DD.

Terrible pass Lowry

i've been thinking about this lately too. It's so uncharacteristic for a guy who knows how to play as well as he does.

[DanH]

Hero threes and DeMar making things happen is going to be the name of the game with Scola and Bb out there.

[Chr1s1anL]

Another bad pass Lowry

[hotfuzz]

Fucking henderson always goes off.

[KHD]

Horrible pass. You can't pass to the post from the top of the key. THat's basketball 101.

[jonzab]

omg fuck off henderson..

[MixxAOR]

Who the fuck Henderson thinks he is. Jesus
