The Raptors drop their 5th game in a row, 109-98 to the Blazers. The game wasn’t even as close as the score may indicate.

Dalembert vs. Bargnani – Maybe the defining matchup of the game. Sammy is going to have to really do a good job on the high pick and roll, making sure not to leave Bargnani open for threes. He also needs to dominate the glass in his limited minutes.
