PrintUPDATE: LaMarcus Aldridge headed to the locker room with a strained back in the second quarter, but is back in the game.
Back to the road trip! This afternoon, the Portland Trail Blazers visit Toronto to play the Raptors (4:10 tip-off!). The Raptors are not a strong team, but they're playing at home. On the other hand, the Blazers closed the locker room doors for a players' meeting, and are back at full strength. So stay inside, keep warm, and enjoy an early Blazer game. Can they pull out a win?
Injury report: Marcus Camby and Nicolas Batum are both expected to play tonight in their normal roles. For Toronto, Andrea Bargnani is active but not expected to play, and former Blazer Jerryd Bayless is inactive.

We should trade Babbitt for a new eye for Batum.
Fair trade in my mind.

he will be able to accept the team option on Babbitt’s contract, who until it is over must do whatever the eye donor commands…

I’m picturing somebody like Felix Hernandez’s alter ego Larry Bernandez.
LMA can duck into the locker room and put on a wig and goggles and check into the game as “Mo Aldridge”. He’ll stay in the paint, get rebounds, scream and yell at the refs, etc.

Bayless and Bargani out for the Raptors.

Yeah I know the feed, but "out" and "inactive" are officially different
Latest word still listed him as active but not expected to play. Just keeping it correct for the top.
Ah okay
I just seen on Rotoworld and the twitter page that they are both out. So I assume whether they are active or not, they won’t play.
Really excited to see Nolan Smith get some playing time.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen rookies get playing time under McMillan. Hopefully Smith pans out.
It must gonna be an easy win
or at least perceived………no woooots to start the thread!

Over/Under 8 minutes PT for Nolan Smith
I think this one is interesting. "Blazers head coach Nate McMillan has said that Nolan Smith “played well enough (Wednesday) night to earn (more) minutes.”
The rookie PG was on the floor when Portland went on a 13-0 run in the fourth quarter against the Hawks Wednesday night. Smith is only averaging 2.7 points and 0.9 assists per game this season, so the biggest takeaway here is that it may take a few minutes per game away from Raymond Felton, who has been disappointing so far this season. Jan 20 – 2:53 PM

I think your dead on at 8. Nate is really conservative with rookies.
"Tommy: Did you hear I finally graduated?
Richard Hayden: Yeah, and just a shade under a decade too. All right. "
Aldrige has to rebound and back tap offensive rebounds better & Block Shots
He can not expect to be an All-Star PF in the West while his rebounding numbers are below 10 rpg with Blake and Love averaging 13+ rpg and 2 blocks per game. He should be more aggressive and not worry about the fouls so much. Craig Smith should be playing 10-15 minutes and Gerald can man the 4 for 6-8 minutes a game.
Yeah he should put up monster numbers
against the likes of Barg-nanny and Ed Davis
"We gotta get this $#!^ together guys!" - Phil
he spends too much time on the perimeter
setting picks for PnP, if Gerald and Craig are playing 20+ minutes at PF, you only want Aldridge to play 28 at PF?

He also runs down the floor a lot.
Many times he’s the first man down to the other end.

I would like to see it cut down to like 15
I expect in that monster 15 min he will put up 20pts 10rbs easy

The tensions are so high because the stakes are so low!
Of course Drake is playing during the Raptors player introductions.

You shut your mouth

Would you trade Felton, Babbitt, and Armon for Devin Harris and Raja Bell?
Both Devin and Bell have 1 year remaining on their contract
Um, no.
What would the do for us?
I know where I come from, and when you always have in mind where you come from the rest will be easy. I think the rest will be easy.

Utah wouldn't take that trade
because they get a bunch of nothing.
ya i just thought G3
was going to roll his ankle on it.
If Wes can hit that regularly
Then Aldridge will be even more of a weapon

Surely there will be a call that shouldn’t go the Raptors’ way but does.
My, my, Aldridge playing a great game so far.
Scoring in the paint! Keep it up.
Heavy dose of LMA post-ups

Player meeting transcript:
LAMARCUS: “You know we are playing Toronto, right? Give me the ball!”
Yep.
This is why they’re playing a crisp game. Pass it inside to your best player first, and then everything else follows. It’s just the Blazers start losing focus, forget Aldridge and then start chucking long jumpers. Gonna be interesting when Crawford comes in.
If Camby gets less than 30 rebounds now
It will be a disappointment.

i wonder why he's being so aggressive and trying to take it inside today.
i wish he played this way against every single nba team.
I actually hope he doesn't make any of those.
Last season, he went on an absolute rampage after being snubbed for the All-Star team. Hoping for a repeat this year.

if we keep going at this rate, 40 points more than the raps would be nice.

who could they possibly have beaten? Or is this a back to back for them…

not really
but he also wisely assumes that if someone passes it to him, they expect him to shoot it.
Don't worry...we are playing Cleveland twice!
…although they are not quite as stinky as the Raptors.

they're going to be a good team, but for some reason we really just put them away every time
probably because aldridge can shoot right over kevin love.
Too bad we are only playing Boston once...
I’m pretty sure we could sweep them this year.

On a side note
Does anyone else think its ridiculous they give gift certificates to the players they interview on wheels show after the game. give a gift certificate to a guy whose making millions for dong a short little interview seems like a waste. Why not give it to a fan who really could use it.
Sorry thats been annoying me
its really more about
advertising the place the gift certificate is for
Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!
isn't the gift card from a sponser too? Pretty sure its just promotional
and chance to draw people chancing to see a Player
Did you happen to see the article about Wade getting a FREE brand new Mclaren?
They even used a crane to hoist it into his party as a surprise. Insane how rich people get such great free things.
I actually don't mind if a player gets something specifically for a product to endorse him
But they are just giving a gift certificate to get their name on the radio. They could easily do that and help the fans out
Shoulda traded Rudy for him
