Donovan Mitchell is out again for the Cavs....break!

and AD has returned for the Mavs so maybe they won't tank the rest of the season

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

What is with the fast and furious car?

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

We got this one. I feel it.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

What is with the fast and furious car?

I don't know if anyone's ever truly gotten fast and furious in a Chevy Cavalier.

I would certainly get furious pretty fast if my car ever looked like that.

 

[Cugel]

This ain’t gonna be pretty. DC will have a really hard time against these bigs. Too fast and athletic. POR needs another big that can hang with those types. Basically you have to plan your future on ways to stop Wemby! That is how impactful he is.

 

[Chris Craig]

What is with the fast and furious car?

It's a Cavalier

 

[kjironman1]

Cavs have reason to want to win this. They want to keep their lead over Boston. The Celtics have won 9 of the last 10.
I’m certain they would like to stay in the mix for best record overall. The Thunder are also 9-1 in the last 10.
They are currently 2 games behind the Thunder.

The "isn't pretty" part is when we see wide open 3-point shots for Cleveland.

 

[kjironman1]

Seriously though the last thing the Blazers need right now is a win.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

It's a good thing there is not a drinking game for every time Ant takes an ill advised shot or there would be a lot of people in the hospital cause I swear he is just shooting the ball like he is -- Westbrook -- fact is he is turning a little bit into him.

Nah, Russ can really defend and rebound when he wants to... also Ant's at 37% from three for the season, of course he should probably be a 50/40/90 type of guy but 37% isn't terrible.

 

[blazerkor]

Shaedon is so much fun. Really explosive dunks can happen on any play and then his fadeaway is really nice too.

Clingkong having a block party too.

 

[HailBlazers]

Feel like we won the lotto with DC.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I need my 7’ 2” center to dunk the ball around the rim. Get these weak shit touch shots outa here

 

[Mediocre Man]

It's a good thing there is not a drinking game for every time Ant takes an ill advised shot or there would be a lot of people in the hospital cause I swear he is just shooting the ball like he is -- Westbrook -- fact is he is turning a little bit into him.

I absolutely drink when Ant takes some bullshit shot. It’s no game though

 

[KingSpeed]

He’s taken 4 shots and has 4 assists. The problem right now is Deni missing all his free throws.

 

[KingSpeed]

This ain’t gonna be pretty. DC will have a really hard time against these bigs. Too fast and athletic. POR needs another big that can hang with those types. Basically you have to plan your future on ways to stop Wemby! That is how impactful he is.

Of course, DC is having a great game tonight.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Seriously though the last thing the Blazers need right now is a win.

That's right. Chicago won yesterday, Miami won tonight; we have a chance to move up in the Tankathon.

 

[blazerfan11]

It's funny that Scoot Henderson is the only trailblazer that has a positive plus / minus in the game so far.

 

[blazerfan11]

Clingon leads the team so far in points, rebounds, blocks, free throws made, free throws attempted.

 

[Natebishop3]

Has scoot become an afterthought on this team?

 

[kjironman1]

Clingon leads the team so far in points, rebounds, blocks, free throws made, free throws attempted.

But not Dunks? He’s 7-2 for gods sake.

 

[Cugel]

Was I ever wrong about DC tonight. I figured he would be dead weight. Proved my sorry ass dead wrong.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Ty Jerome just looks like he has no business being a effective as he is

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Ugh...that Simons/Banton/Reath substitution group looked absolutely terrible to finish the 3rd.

 

[blazerfan11]

Fireball, Klingon, and Adia are nine of 10 on threes.

The rest of the team is 4 of 25.

(spellcheck)

 

[blazerkor]

I absolutely drink when Ant takes some bullshit shot. It’s no game though

I also want to see Ant stop jacking bullshit shots up and see Clingan dunk whenever he's in the restricted area on offense.
