At least people will have something to complain about, despite nearly a perfect night from all involved.

Don’t worry, someone will still find a way to complain about Ant. It’s inevitable.

 

[Tince]

Noooo we want a Scoot walkoff. Come on brooke. Wtf

He's on the radio.

 

[OR-84]

Thanks Blazers! I’ll take this “W” as my bday gift.

 

[blazerkor]

Saw more from Scoot. He'll definitely have worse in the near future but he's also going to have a lot better games. Scoot is for real and just needs time to figure things out at this level.

 

[riverman]

Solid wall to wall win tonight! Everyone played great on both sides of the ball. Lot of balanced scoring. Reath should get the game ball in my opinion.

 

[julius]

I can only imagine what the Kings board is saying right now with multiple bench guys having career nights on them.

they're either saying "hey, I remember this feeling"

OR

"this must be what Portland fans feel like"

OR

"at least we're not Detroit....we're not Detroit!" (kudos for those who get that reference)

 

[riverman]

Thanks Blazers! I’ll take this “W” as my bday gift.

Happy Bday!

 

[OneSport3]

Nice to get this win tonight and maybe the next 2 vs San Antonio because that January schedule is an absolute beast.

Not me!

The only thing I could complain about is that this hurt our lottery odds, but even that seems inappropriate with how well everyone played!

 

[riverman]

Fans needed a home win like this and Chauncey really needed to have the bleeding stop

 

[KingSpeed]

Tisse is an incredible defender.

Tisse is an incredible defender.

I want him to retire a Blazer

Thanks Blazers! I’ll take this “W” as my bday gift.

Happy birthday

Duop amazing young talent, at 27 years old.

I'll never be down on a Blazers win but we better savor it. Not many good teams (and we play a lot of them) are going to come out and give such a pitiful effort on defense like the Kings did tonight. I'm happy as a Blazers fan but I bet Kings fans are livid. Just pathetic what they did tonight and it didn't have anything to do with who the better team was it's just that one team worked hard and the other phoned it in.

 

[PCmor7]

Are we really at the point where we're questioning why a guy who played 18 straight minutes got taken out?

Yes.

 

[Whyachi]

Kings not named Fox shot 3-27 from beyond the arc (11%).
Light the Beam turned into a Hello Kitty flashlight that needs batteries.

 

[Tince]

If we're going to blame Billups for the bad losses, it would only be appropriate to give him a ton of credit for how well everyone played tonight. Seemed like every lineup he put out there played well.

Make. Or. Miss. League.

Sac has had interest in Thybulle before if I recall.

This was a great showcase.

 

[OneSport3]

Fox and Sabonis combine for 77 points on 66% shooting yet we win by 17 points. Who would’ve thought???

Who do we want in return?

But taking out Scoot after playing him 18 straight minutes overrides that, so bad coaching job.

Scoot's best game so far -



Note: Game Score was created by John Hollinger to give a rough measure of a player's productivity for a single game. (40 is an outstanding performance, 10 is an average performance.)

Keep that trend line going up Scoot!

Sabonis straight up should do it.

I'm not counting this because you didn't quote yourself in the post.
