How many people thought that would happen this year? Lol.

I didn't know it would ever happen. It's a big leap from hoping he'd be middle of the pack scoring/shooting-wise, to leading the team in 3-point % and TS% for a 19-game stretch.

Hey man, let's be real. You were in the game threads a lot more earlier in the season when the team and Scoot weren't doing close to as well. It's just strange to me that you were so much more interested in shitting on Scoot than you are in giving him praise now that he's really doing well. Yes, Amen is a special talent but he's not our guy, Scoot is.

Listen bro I’m torn. I don’t want us to win. Its pointless. We need the high end talent that’s in the top 3 this draft has.

This is the classic recipe for being mediocre. You need superstars to win in this league. Cooper Flagg, Ace Bailey, etc might cover that. At the very least we need to put our names in that hat so we can get them.

All this winning doesn’t help towards that whatsover

I mean I'd rather this team get a great lottery pick. I'd rather see the vets never even on this years roster so if we won it would've been almost entirely from youth.

But how you or me or anyone posting here feels will have zero impact on any of the moves the Blazers do.

Also at this point it's too late to tank for a top lotto pick, that ship has sailed. The vets were part of this roster and that's all history.

Just enjoy the wins and competitive basketball. We haven't seen any stretch like this in over 4 years.
 
I'm a glass-half-empty kind of guy, but the thought occurred recently that if you added Jokic to this roster it would be a genuine favorite for the title. Now, I know if you add Jokic to a lot of rosters that might be true, but I never would've said it even a month ago. Everybody has suddenly clicked. The team is greater than the sum of its parts.

(Of course, the Tankers are going to say we're going to fuck up adding Cooper Flagg to this roster, but (a) anything can happen, and (b) I picked Jokic for a reason because he has a unique range of talents that literally nobody else on the planet has)
 
Just stupid direction we are going. All for some pointless wins in early February..
 
One more thing about last night's game was watching Scoot and Ant playing together in the 4th. The talk that Scoot defers too much to Ant when they play together looks to be over.
They played very well together. Scoot was running the offense in the 4th at least as much as Simons did. The offense was running smoothly. Very good ball movement.

Did you catch what Scoot said at the post game interviw with Brooke?

"It's time now. Welcome to the Scoot Show!"

We have so many throwback players man. Toumani could go back to the 90s and fucking rumble with guys like Oakley and Rodman.

Didn’t you earlier in this thread use Ant’s game being from back then as a NEGATIVE thing?

A question for @THE HCP and maybe this one is a little outside of your job description but do you think or know if your producer or someone even higher up in the organization tells the on air talent not to discuss the trade deadline during broadcasts???
Click to expand...
I don’t think they are specifically told not to talk about trades, but remember, they would be commenting on coworkers and their bosses. Best to stay away from that if you know what I mean FAMS!

Does anyone know why the arena, especially the 300 level was so empty tonight? I don't think I've see the 300 level that empty. Were people worried about the weather ?

Bro, have you not noticed how empty the building has been all season. This homestand has been brutal.

What does this have to do with you CONSTANTLY shitting on Scoot and hyping up a player NOT on our ROSTER in EVERY single thread UNTIL Scoot started playing good?

He’s a troll straight up, he will rarely reply and then when Amen has a good game or Scoot has a bad game he will bring it up.

seriously best to just ignore him all together, giving him a reaction is EXACTLY what he wants, that’s how troll work

I actually think the Mavs are going to be tough the rest of the season. Adding AD will REALLY help. Now after next year when he starts to decline, that’s another story

I wouldn't be shocked either way as they have some competent role players and two legit AllNBA players. But its pretty hard to merge all of these new roles in the middle of the season with no time to practice. Plus they have an odd big man rotation with two centers plus AD wanting to play PF but none of them being able to shoot. Finally its just a crazy mindset to have the season start with an MVP leading your team and then poof he's just gone.

Kyrie/AD/Klay have missed a TON of games in recent years - so they have higher injury risk than most teams as well.

So yeah I could certainly see them finish outside the playin. Actually thats right where they are in the standings today - 11th in the west.
 
Maybe if we all agree to not tag him and encourage him, we won't have to see the dumb shit? I mean seriously. Fucking stop already. Let the troll die on ignore talking to himself.
It's the same as people complaining about Stephen A Smith. Guess who never sees SAS stuff? Me! Because I don't watch his show, follow him on twitter, or spend any time looking at things about him. I don't try to call him out when the outlandish shit he says is wrong.
