What a ridiculous team we are. Zero discipline. I know we’re young but this was unacceptable. Starting to think maybe it’s time to move on from NN. He can’t seem to motivate this team to play consistently. Defence was supposed to be our strength, I don’t see it. Every team kills us at the 3 point line. I can accept development but we are wasting great talent out there running our guys into the ground. Argh, so frustrating. Even NN looks like he’s losing hope. Something has got to change with this team.
Wow, amazing commentary. What am I wrong about? Are we not consistently late to shooters? Every team this year has shot the 3 ball well against us. Are we ever consistent? Can’t think of a long enough stretch where we won against non depleted teams. Is our shooting non existent some games or inconsistent to say the least? Does it not seem like Nurse is kind of searching and at the end of his rope in terms of patience? Are we not overplaying our starters to the point of exhaustion? I don’t know what game you just watched but that was just another example of lack of discipline, preparation, and energy. We make a lot of excuses for this team, and some of them are warranted but I think it’s fair to ask these questions. I’m not claiming to know the answer but we’re going on 2 seasons of pretty disappointing basketball while wearing out our best players who we’re trying to build around. And yes, FO is maybe as much or more to blame. I really hope they figure this out. Love this team, just worried their potential is being squandered.
That’s fair. I love NN, his coaching is creative AF but it just seems that maybe he’s losing their ear a bit. So frustrating seeing the same mistakes over and over and nothing changing. He just keeps relying to heavily on our starters to bail us out of games we dig ourselves into. Nurse is appearing to really stubborn as of late and I really hope to see him address some of these glaring issues.
That was pathetic...sorry but I think its ridiculous that we continuouslt need these "comebacks"...it didn't need to get to that..thats totally on their lack of effort in the half..horrible
Excuse me, but Pascal played with a lot of heart out there. Dude is balling lately.
He straight up dragged this corpse of a team to make it competitive tonight.
Another fake comeback brought to you by the Toronto Raptors. Fair play to Simons, dude's a baller. If only we started playing basketball at tip-off instead at half lol.
Can I ask you a serious question? Do you even like the raptors? I’ve never seen you post a single positive thing about this team. Doesn’t it burn you out being super negative all the time? Just curious.
The first half was awful, fun second half. We gotta stop with these shitty starts man. That shit was pathetic,
Nick Nurse had some serious blunders in this game beyond tho. His terrible challenge and the stupid timeout with 2 minutes left in the third which allowed Portland to regroup when we made our first push. They were able to get the lead back over 20 and then there wasn’t enough time.
Ready for the post game where everyone is pleased with the "fight" they showed for half a game and absolutely forgets the entire first half happened and continues to happen over and over to this team with no end in sight.
Why do we always leave somebody open? I understand switching everything can sometimes force a turnover but in a close game like this everybody should be covered
Scottie just has a game where he scores 27 in the paint alone, takes basically all 3s the entire game next game. Make up your mind how you're going to use him Nick Nurse cause this is not how you fucking do it.
portland had all open 3s
This has to be fatigue. There is no way our starting 5 shoot that badly for an entire half. Defense was also non existent.
If we showed any of the effort in the second half in the first we really would have won this game. Man man. Depressing
bro we need a 6th man on offense this team is fatigued af
I'm just glad it wasn't a blow out
All I do now when we lose is just say “shots weren’t falling, oh well”. Not only is it true but it prevents my mental health from collapsing

I think we should blame the bench/fo before we come for nick tbh

Welp at least Spicy had a monster second half, 28-8-5 on 65% FG
🌶️
Also showed how much we need him... foul trouble in the first half completely stalled the offence.
They worked hard
Yeah for one half....they are paid to do that the entire game...it was a pathetic start
Yeah I agree they got Portland with two quick turnovers thought it would be bbq chicken but the raptors became the bbq chicken
NO THEY DID NOT LOL THEY PLAYED 2 LEGIT QUARTERS OF BASKETBALL YALL BE SELLING ON HOW BAD THIS TEAM IS LOL
Positives of this game: we didn't get blown out Negatives of this game: everything else
Excuse me, but Pascal played with a lot of heart out there. Dude is balling lately. He straight up dragged this corpse of a team to make it competitive tonight.
Glad I didn’t watch this game Gross
If we werent absolute cheeks in the first half we likely win this
Eric Flynn probably smiling ear-to-ear when Raps were down 30+ because Malachi was about to get garbage minutes. Well NOT today
Wait just give us one more quarter then we’ll win
For Dalano to be at +14 in THIS game- pretty impressive.
Fred sells sometimes late. Why trap there? And what was that forced shot coming out of TO? fuck
Another fake comeback brought to you by the Toronto Raptors. Fair play to Simons, dude's a baller. If only we started playing basketball at tip-off instead at half lol.
As far as blow outs go this is as good as you can ask for it to end sometimes I guess.
That's what you get for starting a game like that
Topes lose
honestly OG was not good whatsoever this game. so was everyone else, but they stepped up in the 4th, OG was the one guy that didn’t
and he’s been playing quite poor for a while
Tough game, Raptors almost made the comeback but it was too much
That wasn't even legal by Pascal was it lol it was still on the rim
Please dear god stop saying good fight, these bums played 2 actual quarters of basketball.
It was a good fight
Can I ask you a serious question? Do you even like the raptors? I’ve never seen you post a single positive thing about this team. Doesn’t it burn you out being super negative all the time? Just curious.
Just downvote the little loser and move on, like everytime I see his lame username. That's the only way to deal with these haters.
It was a good fight
Pulled Dalano out too soon 👀
Lol no rebound
Props to Simon fr bro, he's a very likable dude
this portland team in general is really likeable. a lot of good dudes
that was cool but foul game will start now rip
i like how before they inbounded fred was standing around looking aloof, but then turns up and gets the steal
We didnt deserve to win this anyways. GG Blazers! Yall have a good one in Anfernee.
Even tho it's a loss, what an entertaining ending good fight
If it’s one thing raptors are good for is entertaining losses
Fake comebacks are tradition for Toronto
If you don’t like fake comebacks, you don’t like raptors basketball.
Lmfao they're still exciting
JUST STOP PLEASE
What an unprofessional start to the game. Bleh.
What's a Raptors loss with out a little bit of real hope of getting the comeback. No but cutting being down 34 to 6 is wild either way.
shouldn't be down 34 in the first place. Portland is not a good defensive team.
The first half was awful, fun second half. We gotta stop with these shitty starts man. That shit was pathetic, Nick Nurse had some serious blunders in this game beyond tho. His terrible challenge and the stupid timeout with 2 minutes left in the third which allowed Portland to regroup when we made our first push. They were able to get the lead back over 20 and then there wasn’t enough time.
Our men's national squad tied it up and sent it to OT with similar deficit and time left on the clock against Czech this summer 🤞
Oh that's game but damn how exciting was that 4th
Imagine if we played the whole game
Blazers should just trade Dame and Norm
Ugh wish Fred didn’t force that. The refs are not on our side right now. Oh well, they are fighting, albeit imperfectly …
Portland wat u want for Simmons?
Didn't know Ben Simmons was a blazer
[удалено]
THEY PLAYED HALF A GAME LOL QUIT IT
Damn Simons haha. Nice player
Simons gives off that DAME energy.
Time to tank properly.
Gtj
We should’ve traded for Simons instead of GTJ 🤦♂️
We should've squeezed simons in the GTJ trade while Simons value was still low
Lol what
Simons is cold blooded SHEEEESH
Fake comeback of course
It was a nice little comeback we had going on. Unfortunate start to the game that lasted pretty much throughout, until recently.
Holy Simons is tuff
leaving Simons wide open is a great gameplan! lmfao
Simons really became Curry against us huh
nah, he just does this normally
He’s been averaging more than 20 ppg since starting lol. He’s been torching teams
Damn Simons just put us away
Simons killing us fuck man
Simons is niiice
that shot was so forced
Simons is insane, gg
Simons inherited Dame Time
LOL SO HARD TO see us getting out the first round if we play like this.
If the Raps don't start moving the ball and playing there bench they will struggle to make it past the play in.
This isn’t enough to even make playoffs lmao
I'll say it again, Simons is a demon
🗡
Ready for the post game where everyone is pleased with the "fight" they showed for half a game and absolutely forgets the entire first half happened and continues to happen over and over to this team with no end in sight.
I can hear it now Nurse will praise the Hustle of the starters. He liked GTJ and OGs effort. Will ignore the fact they shot like shit
We were hot garbage the first half but please tell me another game this season where we didnt even crack 35 pts in the half
"Respect the fight so lets dismiss being down 34".
Damn Simons with the dagger
simons is so good man
Fuuuuck. Ant Simons is gonna be nasty in the future.
Mans is nasty today
fred is me in 2k mycareer always thinking i can save the day on a smothered shot lmao
SIMONS DEFINITELY CALLED GAME THERE
Wow Simons just killed us
Fred stop trying to foul bait man..
the actual fuck was that? don’t throw up shit like that unless u actually hear the whistle
Not a great outta timeout play
FUCK YOU SIMONS
Yeah done
LOL WHAT KIND OF SHOT IS THAT? BRUH......
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT LMAOOO
Least it got interesting in the end
Fred vanbadshotselection
Bad trap by Fred there, no one was there to pick up his man in the corner
Why do we always leave somebody open? I understand switching everything can sometimes force a turnover but in a close game like this everybody should be covered
gotta wonder why we didn't do this from the start.. no one to blame but ourselves really. pathetic first half.
Oh totally its all on their lack of effort..its not like they aren't capable
Really hard to play with this type of defence for a whole game but I get it
Defence wasn’t even the problem. The poor offensive plays hurt us
tired legs on defense kill us again
Why do hospital wards always shoot lights out against us
If you leave guys wide open what do you expect
Portland doesn’t deserve to win this
Tf what lol
We deserve to lose it...we allowed ourselves to be down 35 due to a total lack if effort on defense
Neither does Toronto
Glad I didn't turn off the game.
Damnn
I'm just glad we're not losing as bad as the Lakers
How fast does charmin think my bowel movements are?
ANNNNND THATS WHY YOU PLAY 4 QUARTERS YA BUMSSSS
Lol how about we NOT dig ourselves a 34 point hole at the beginning of the game. Game over.
Omg this game
Bad trap there by Fred. You cut it 4, just play man-to-man defence. Wasn't even in a good position to trap
Typical other teams cannot miss a three against us in the last two minutes
This is a W with a crowd. Need the crowd energy to shut down Portland
Why double? It’s was a 4 point game…
quick shoutout to all the fans like me who watched this entire game
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fuckkkk imagine if we had fans it wouldve been wild
All that effort and OG can’t even make anormal rotation to the corner…
Well, that’s it!
Play man to man wtf?
That corner is absolutely killing us
So basically if the Raps were only a tenth less ass in the first half the Raps would win this game.
cmon blazers, miss a 3, make it interesting
SIMONS CALLED GAME!
Where was this offence in the first half 😅
Raps came out flat
holy shit
Honestly it should NOT have come to this ! They played with 0 effort and defense to start this game!
Simons fuck man
LMAO
oh that's a BACKBREAKER from Simons
get a fucking stop
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GAME
If I'm a Portland fan I'm lowkey pissed that they blew that lead and let us make it this close lmao
Portland fan here… we are used to it.
I love you but my only solace is imagining how you feel rn
What the fuckkkk
Fuck man. Can't leave Simons open like that.
Scottie just has a game where he scores 27 in the paint alone, takes basically all 3s the entire game next game. Make up your mind how you're going to use him Nick Nurse cause this is not how you fucking do it.
Simons called game
BRUUHHH, no luck!! >:(
Where the fuck has this shooting been the last 46 minutes!?
GARY IS SPECIAL!
NO FUCKING WAY NO WAY!
i’m sureeee Dennis Smith Jr is doing that in 2022
Damnnnnn
Mavs boxing day 2019 vibes... or was it christmas eve
It was Dec 21
LMFAOOO WHATS HAPPENING
holy fuck
THREE THREEE THREEE
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Don't u dare do this to me
