I think Pryz was hurt. I just want to thank the refs for giving toronto that extra point on that long 2 in the fourth. Great job of fixing the game refs.

Good game. I hope nothing is wrong with Joel. wtf

Reason we lost: Joel wasn't put in the game. Hands down. :-(

We stayed in it for a long time despite it, but yeah. That's THE reason we lost. Big time performances by Roy and Outlaw were awesome, but Joel not being in the game pisses me off to no extent!!!!!!!

Ah man, I'm sorry but I gotta make this one homer complaint.

Did anyone see that replay in the first overtime with Calderon's "Three?"

He had a foot on the line...

I mean, Brandon probably wouldn't have gone for the 3 after that, but still. It kind of cost us the game.

That being said I thought it was a good game. Both teams played well.

Did anyone see the replay where Calderon's foot appeared to be on the line and they gave him the three with 9 ticks left in OT #1?

Yea the combo of not having Blake and
Nate being a complete idiot, I think thats
the main reasons why the Blazers lost.. .

Also the Raps did very well attacking the
rim when they saw that Nate didnt have
Joel in.. .So the Raps did a good job!!

HOWEVER the 3pt shot that put them up
3 before the 2nd overtime was really a
2pt shot. The replay on the Blazers show
slowed it down & showed it. His foot was
clearly on the 3pt line. Then Roy hit the
3pt shot after that which means the Blazers
actually were ahead by 1 going into the 2nd
overtime. But owell, Refs make mistakes.. .
Its part of the game.. .but just keep in mind
the Blazers did a great job despite no starting
PG, Nate not playing Przy & letting the Raps
dunk at will. Its a loss but it doesnt hurt bad.. .
:wink:

2 Questions i would LOVE to ask Nate .

1) Why did you sit Joel when the team needed some inside help ?
2) WHY THE HECK was a TIMEOUT not called after Outlaw got the rebound ?

Now i want to say normally i may question Nate here and there but he usually does the right thing down the stretch. However this game he bent over and stuck his head so far up his own Rear its not funny.

The two most exciting games I have seen this year have been the two Blazer-Raptor games. Tough loss for you guys today, but you certainly have an excellent young team that is exciting to watch.

Good luck the rest of the way.

What an effing let down. We played horribly tonight and relied way to much on B.Roy CRAAAAP. Look at our FG% we played a bad game the Raps where in rare form and we let it slip away.

I don't think it really had an effect on the game. If it was scored as a 2, we wouldn't have been looking for a 3 to tie it, and who knows what would have happened. The reffing had absolutely nothing to do with why we lost...

Outstanding game guys, there were some questionable calls but overall the most entertaining game I've watched all year. You guys are easily my second favourite team and I can't wait to see Oden back next year. Roy's even better than I thought!

swede · Post #134 » by **swede** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 8:46 pm

Yeah, and we shoulda won the game. Calderon's foot was on the line. Replay!

It was a hard fought game. If Lamarcus, Martell, Jack or Jones even had decent shooting nights I could see us pulling this one out. Give credit to Toronto, whenever they needed a big play they got it.

Good game fellas...

Damn, I almost had a heart attack. Good game guys. Despite the BS calls and no calls, the Raps were able to gut it out. Let me just say that your team is freakin annoying ... and I mean that in a good way. You buggers are tough to put away. I shudder at the thought of having a healthy Oden in your squad next season. You guys are gonna be the scariest team in the playoffs.
