Man shoutout to the guys tonight...all of them....Nurk looks like he's been spending his off time shooting off the glass....he had the angles down tonight and finished his banks shots all night

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show
Blazers 136, Hawks 131
Ant with a career high 43 points for the Blazers.
Trae with 56 points for the Hawks.
Come talk about the game!

 

[riverman]

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.

He puts an address on it!

 

[Strenuus]

Well this takes away the notion that they only win now when I'm in the building. Lol.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Fuck man. We needed to lose. Great game by Ant tho. Fuck

 

[riverman]

Trae Young reminds me of Allen Iverson....I wouldn't be surprised if in a year or so he's taped up like the Mummy as well.

[e_blazer]

Yep Blazers win I lost tonight. Next game again

 

[riverman]

I hope Rasta saw this game....

 

[Strenuus]

Lol.

 

[riverman]

I think 13 wins was an unlucky number.....14 sounds so much better

 

[Labinot41]

time for a 47 game win streak FAMS

 

[illmatic99]

great night for ant.

what was our defensive gameplan against young tonight?

 

[TBpup]

29 assists.....wonder what Dame/CJ think about that?

 

[illmatic99]

I hope Rasta saw this game....

why? bandwagon fans dont deserve a reward

 

[MickZagger]

I hope Rasta saw this game....

He’s in Britain I believe so he’ll see a recording im sure as it’s probably 5am there.

 

[MickZagger]

29 assists.....wonder what Dame/CJ think about that?

A rap song and a wine label is already in the works.

 

[e_blazer]

great night for ant.

what was our defensive gameplan against young tonight?

Same as the Hawks’ defensive scheme against Ant.

 

[Haakzilla]

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

 

[MickZagger]

great night for ant.

what was our defensive gameplan against young tonight?

Let him get his and his teammates throw up bricks?

 

[illmatic99]

Let him get his and his teammates throw up bricks?

nah that wasnt by design. nurk was trying to double every possession and we still let dude drop 56.

and he had 14 assists.

great win regardless when we desperately needed one, but that was a horrible display of defense .

 

[Mediocre Man]

29 assists.....wonder what Dame/CJ think about that?

Great to see proper ball movement

 

[illmatic99]

29 assists.....wonder what Dame/CJ think about that?

nance is key man. dude is such a team player. keeps the ball moving.

A rap song and a wine label is already in the works.

"Little be Huge"
"Simon Shiraz"

We always play better when we play through Nurk, yet it only consistently happens when necessary. He’s gonna turn the ball over and hurry some shots but he’s also someone teams struggle to handle down low and he mostly plays unselfish. Idk how many times he made the correct pass especially out of double teams but it was a lot more than you’ll see out of CJ.

 

[MadeFromDust]

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

Yeah but not in Portland

 

[Scalma]

I can’t figure that Watford guy out. He seems to have some real instincts, especially defensively, but I’ve never actually seen him shoot the ball. He actually somewhat reminds me of Nance. He seems to do a lot of little things well but is kind of a tweener size wise.

edit: Height, weight, and wingspan are pretty much the same as Nance’s coming outta college.
