Game Thread GAME# 20: BLAZERS @ WIZARDS - FEBRUARY 2, 2021 - TUESDAY, 5:00, NBCSNW

[kjironman1]

There are a handful of posters who were nowhere to be found during the Bulls game until they lost the lead, then setup shop during the Bucks game, but are mysteriously absent again tonight.

Must be random!

They most likely will randomly show up again during the Philly game.

Who needs assists? Any type of offense would look good against that atrocious Wizards' "defense'.

Beal with one of the great quotes, saying the Wizards can't guard a parked car.

 

[illmatic99]

That explains his shit first half. He mentioned last week that he's playing through some stuff because of everyone else out. ugh

But ya, that Blevins signing was useful.

 

[tlongII]

Nice job by the starters. Enes was great on the boards.

 

[PCmor7]

We had a double RoCo sucks post from a certain person.

I think this is the first time I've been called "certain person."

 

[kjironman1]

I've got a beautiful Movado and I never wear it. Watches are kind of dead.

Fit Bit is the only cool watch now other than I-watch of course.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I was talking about Aldo.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame's dunk from the baseline kind of assured me that he'll be fine. Hopefully.

running him into the ground for 40 minutes on the second night of a b2b doesn't seem smart. we need a viable backup PG who can play 15 mpg in the worst possible way

 

[tlongII]

I was talking about Aldo.

Aldo Tramixum.

 

[Serbian]

It's like you are almost rooting for it? Why?

No its reverse psychology. Also make myself feel calmer and better because I have seen this team blow 20 pt leads in 1 quater!!! Why get my hope up? Why can we ever not blow a team out? Like be up by 20+ and finish game with 20+. It never happens with us while other teams know how

 

[PCmor7]

I was talking about Aldo.

Well, they say there are only three people on the internet, and I am all three. But I don't think I'm him.

And by "they" I mean "me." I say that.

 

[Chris Craig]

Tince's theory that team with most assists often loses is proved out; Wizards had 13 more assists than us. McMillan's theory that if you win rebounds, turnovers and free throws attempted proves out; Blazers five more rebounds, four less turnovers and six more free throws.

Chris Craigs Theory - the team with the most points wins

Well they just won a game they lead wire to wire in. Not sure what else you are looking for with a decimated roster on the road? That is as close to a blow out as you will be seeing any time soon i am willing to bet.

Last night he only played 25 minutes no?

My guess is if Simons wasn't nursing a tight hamstring they would have played him more and cut Dame's minutes a few. Of course if we had a veteran PG on the bench they could have covered a couple minutes.

 

[Serbian]

I said this before but kanter was a god sent. He is absolutely unbelievable. His defense gotten better but lets appricate kanter his hustle his offensive rebounding is legendary.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

But, we've got Ant, who is a backup PG in the worse possible way.

Not gonna happen. Unless Ant is out for long time ...even then we will sign some scrub off g league

 

[kjironman1]

Here's hoping he remains an ironman.

I approve of this message!

 

[B-Roy]

Probably why Dame looked like he was moving really bad in the first half.

 

[THE HCP]

Kanter's hands are just a magnet for balls.

So are your sister’s!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Perhaps equally as impressive as his basketball skills, Dame's durability (considering he's a Blazer) has been great. Here's hoping he remains an ironman.

Yes because we can't trade him if he's injured.

If you can't start game threads, you sure know how to end them!

 

[Pinwheel1]

Interesting stat
Dame 4-14 from three
Covington, Hood, and Trent 15-23 from three

Trent shooting it well is not a huge surprise but Hood and Covington doing so were encouraging. Especially one night after Little did. The more the merrier.

They’ll be back next game for sure.

What is it with you guys?

did I go into the thread last night and ask where you were?

you guys are just perpetually butt hurt about other fans, even after a win.

We beat a shit team. Congrats. After losing by 30 to a playoff team.

This wasn't even meant to be serious or directed at you. I thought making jokes like this would be acceptable, I'm still learning how to deal with the grief of having a bad team. I'm trying to be more negative and angry, but it takes a lot of energy.

I promise you, I'm not butt-hurt about anyone here. Can't speak for HCP though!

Nah..... even if we win, my butt hurts.

You must think we’ll lose big bro
