fun game

Deni really is mini Giannis.

Feels like only a short time ago people were trying to sell me on why Jaquez would have been a better pick than Scoot.

Simons trying to ballhog and shoot the Heat back into the game but the rest of the Blazers not cooperating.

I'm telling myself that this is a great feature of who Ant can be for other teams, who Jerami can be and even if we're extremely lucky who Deandre can be on another team. I don't think this is hurting Rob's trade value either.

Now we just need Joe to make this shit happen.

 

[illmatic99]

remember when we were repeatedly told this adam morrison lookin fool was good?

he looks like he barely belongs in the league

 

[bemac]

Love that they are playing to win...That is how you grow! As the young guys continue to grow, this is a good team. Scoot seems to be the key to start putting it all together.

I'm not going to fault Ant for getting 22 points on 17 shots, with 4 boards, 3 assists and only 1 turnover. That's a nice game... I just hope Joe is using the game to point out to other GMs what Ant can do for them... otherwise this win is nothing more than possibly losing lottery positioning.

Deni really is mini Giannis.

He's awesome. I think his acquisition was sneaky good.

 

[B-Roy]

Simons is injured

 

[blazerkor]

Simons is injured

Nah, he landed on his tailbone... if it was from up in the air, I'd think so but he just tripped over someone, not going to be a big deal.

 

[blazerkor]

For anyone who thinks thought that Chauncey lost this team... I'd say, you were a little hasty in that assessment. This team is playing their asses off. Even getting some stretches of really solid effort from Ayton.

 

[illmatic99]

i love how all his teammates jumped to scoot's defense on that call there, imploring chauncey to challenge.

that is a call that goes to he offensive player 99 times of a 100. scoot gets no respect man

 

[illmatic99]

bullshit

 

[B-Roy]

Lets gooooo, still losable!

 

[blazerkor]

Wowsers we could actually blow this one. Wouldn't hurt my feelings and that's sad to say.

What happened to Grant's 3-point shooting? if he can't hit open, clutch 3-pointers he's kind of ...not even a high-level role player.

He's just a role player.

 

[MickZagger]

This may be an epic loss

Dude he was 3 for 4 before that shot... these things do average out.

hard to beat our collapse against the spurs this year. blew a 17 pt lead in 4 mins if i recall

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I’ve seen some nice eye candy in the crowd tonight.
Of course HCP is letting us all down by not making sure they get more camera time.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ant is leading scorer and +/- of 0. Billups needs to be consistent. Bench him for his defense like he benched Sharpe

Tank is on

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Why the hell didn’t Grant pass the ball to Deni? He was wide open!!! ugh

 

[Cugel]

Needed the loss

 

[blazerkor]

Well in the immortal words of Sheed, "Both teams played hard."

 

[B-Roy]

Stupid ass win. But I'll allow it because fuck Miami.

 

[riverman]

Good win! Fun game! Good to see a bunch of guys in double digit scoring for a change.

 

[MickZagger]

Grants Pass wasn’t to Deni?

 

[riverman]

Grants Pass wasn’t to Deni?

Grants Pass was to Klamath Falls!
