[riverman]

HOLY HOME WIN BATMAN!!!!!! I'll eat my Ant crow tonight...he rocked the house at least on offense and passing

 

[TBpup]

Come on Nas, 1 more rebound.

 

[Haakzilla]

Maybe we play better without Dame?

...it's no surprise that the team nearly has 30 assists without its two hero ball specialists

 

[James lamphear]

This win remind me last couple years just out score them. Defense wasn't part of tonight game on either side.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I seem to remember us playing Atlanta without Dame and CJ a few years ago, what are the odds. Tim Frazier played 48 minutes and we stuck with them until the end. I think Schroeder was the star of the Hawks.

 

[TBpup]

Good grief, our perimeter defense leaves a LOT to be desired.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Interesting- Nance has 1 point but is a game high +20. I don''t think that is a coincidence.

No. Anything he scores is gravy. He's the best basketball player we have, like a coach on the floor, telling guys where to go on O and D.

 

[riverman]

Really a team win....

 

[TBpup]

Simons over 40.....this is fun!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Players on both sides getting new career highs tonight.

 

[riverman]

HELL YEAH!!!!!! FORGOT HOW IT FEELS TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TBpup]

Giving up 56 to one player....and still getting the win while our Junior Achievers had great nights.

I'm luvin' it!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

hahahaha what a shot by Trae

 

[KSF-ERIC]

HELL YEAH!!!!!! FORGOT HOW IT FEELS TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

not over yet

 

[VenomXL]

Very fun game! Not many of those this season.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Fun win.

 

[riverman]

Ant 43/7 and only 2 TO....great night....played up to his hype....I'd written him off .....crow is in the skillet

 

[MadeFromDust]

I think 56 points is the most an opponent has ever scored IN Portland

 

[Scalma]

These hawk announcers were hilarious they made it seem like Atlanta was the only undermanned team. Also couldn’t stop sucking Trae Trae off.

btw I hope Atlanta is still interested in Powell. He played well, good showcase.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Simons 26 points in the second half.

 

[James lamphear]

Nurk double double 21/12 and Little 22/9 and Simons 43/7 nice offense games.

 

[BigGameDamian]

hahahaha what a shot by Trae

ya that was a helluva shot!

 

[blazerkor]

Wow, Ant's interview has me choked up. Good for him, playing like that for his family.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Listening to Ant after the game......it sounded just like a Dame post-game interview.

 

[riverman]

I think 56 points is the most an opponent has ever scored IN Portland

radio crew listed guys who've done it...I think Kobe and Curry have

 

[DDolla]

The best thing I saw tonight is Dame suit. That’s nice

 

[riverman]

not over yet

the radio must be ahead of the video stream...sorry if that was a spoiler

 

[Tince]

A Nate defense vs a Chauncy defense = 267 points!

 

[Tince]

Atlanta Fans Tonight: "Why do we always give up career highs to no-name bench players?"

 

[Bingo Bango]

Big win. Huge contributions by Simons. We would have lost this game if Lillard had played.
