next 4 games are vs Philly, vs Bucks, @Denver twice. Should be 4 loses in a row. We probably go into tank Mode the next few weeks
 
We were told we were stupid for thinking the Blazers with Ant as the #1 option should beat the Spurs with our injuries.

Here we are with a loss to the Bulls, who aren't much better, with our players back and Ant as the #1 option.

Please retire the Ant as the #1 option idea. I'm sure more excuses will be made how this loss and all the others have nothing to do with Ant.

And hurry to trade Brogdon/Ant/maybe Grant.

those teams have won enough games to rest some starters. We might see some close games... maybe even a win or 2 ?

He's our best offensive player though...

Oh you mean the same Spurs team that just beat the #1 team in the West just yesterday?
 
One of the apparently pressing motivations for our genius GM to trade Dame before the season started was to hand over the reins to Scoot.

Now we have games when his equally intelligent head coach plays him almost 20 fewer minutes than Malcolm fucking Brogdon.

Make it make sense.
 
Ayton 9-12, the big man was feeling it.
Then the Blazers iced him out and tried winning with excessive chuckball. The Bulls said, "thanks Portland, we like your style."

Brogdon about to finish with 39 mins while Scoot at 22.

All in a loss to a play in team missing its leading scorer.

This is just terrific

Chicago’s leading scorer is DeRozen. He played. Coby White, who also played, is their second leading scorer.
 
need a clear cut, Billups, Brogdon and Grant need to go. Ant probably too. I want Scoot and Shaedon take over and make the next step

10.5 games out of the play-in. Tank mode please.

Pedantic? You were completely wrong so let’s get our facts straight when bashing our team.

Yes. Pedantic. The fact that you felt the need to correct me about Zach Lavine's pecking order in the Bulls' scoring per game list .... is pedantic.

Pedantic is when you go after minor details. DeRozen and White leading the team in scoring is not a minor detail. You should just say you were wrong without criticizing me. You can’t handle it, I guess.

And the Pistons just beat OKC. That doesn't mean either team is good relative to the rest of the NBA.

Don't play dense.

Not sure it was the Blazers as much as it was Ant and perhaps Brogdon.

Blazers had Scoot mic'd up. They wanted to hear his amazing cheerleading skills on the sidelines.

That was my point the other day. These are still NBA teams that can beat anyone on any given day. The Spurs were playing their regular rotation players while we were playing guys that have spent the majority of their seasons in the G-League. Yet you expected Ant and the Remixers to beat them. That’s delusional. I mean there was a point that game where had to play Thybulle and Minaya at point because we didn’t have any other players.

And tonight, did Ant struggle scoring? Yes. But to blame the loss entirely on him is delusional. In the past, if he wasn’t scoring, he would be useless. But tonight he was able to get 8 assists and 7 rebounds.

Just two years ago this guy was talking about Ant speeding up the timeline for trading Dame, and now he's crapping on Ant.

This stuff is like clockwork. Sharpe and Scoot, you're next up once Ant is traded and you're holding back someone who is a junior in HS right now...

And tonight what is your excuse? And ever since Ant came back what's your excuse? He's been a net negative to the team game ever since he came back but you keep twisting yourself like a pretzel trying to say it has nothing to do with him.

Calling anyone delusional without taking a look in the mirror is laughable and not serious.

from what i can tell, Portland is the only NBA team that uses their entire G-League team as their 2nd unit. Cronin's stealth tank lost it's muffler. The losses can get loud with 5-7 rookies on the court.

Did Ant struggle scoring tonight? Absolutely. But he contributed in other ways. He had 8 assists and 7 rebounds. His gravity on PNRs was setting Ayton up and DA had a great game. In previous years, if he wasn’t scoring, he was useless.
 
Ayton only Blazer that hit neutral +/-
everyone else had negative influence against the Bulls. That's hard to do in a game that was relatively close.
 
didn't watch the game....question: Camara only 3 minutes...did he get hurt?

the foursome of Brogdon-Grant-Ayton-Ant averaged 37 minutes...why?

Precisely. Yet this dude expected Ant and the Remixers to win.
