Raptors Chew Up Blazers | Blazer’s Edge
2 blocked shots for Portland all night. 4 steals. Only 9 offensive rebounds. Only 4 fast break points. We could go on and on about how badly this game stunk.

A brutal opening set the tone for a hideous performance for the Blazers, who lost 102-79 to the Toronto Raptors before 18,117 at Air Canada Centre. As Blazers coach Terry Stotts emerged from the visiting locker room to address reporters during his postgame interview session, he answered questions for only one minute, 47 seconds. He wasn’t snippy. He wasn’t heated. He just didn’t have much to say.

That was some really weird looking basketball. The Raptors were all jumping like retarded salmon, but luckily the Trailblazers suck tonight so they can’t get anything on the play.
