Game Thread Game #42 - BLAZERS @ WIZARDS - JANUARY 15, 2022 - SATURDAY - 4:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[James lamphear]

Simons shot not falling this 2nd half but he only 4 shot so that's not bad but he only one assist away to get another double double.

 

[Hoopguru]

I think the reality is, we're playing a team who knows how to tank better!

A team with Dame Lillard tanking just doesn’t sound right.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Simons double double

 

[James lamphear]

Simons double double and nice steal and in for lay in let see if that gets going the rest of the game.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

i don't know how Wizards won four in a row before this one........

 

[TBpup]

Watford.....6 fouls in 7 minutes. Holy Hacker Batman!

 

[James lamphear]

Well there trying to hang on this lead so let see the if Simons can control the rest game by either scoring or sitting up players to scored.

 

[riverman]

We still suck at free throws!

 

[riverman]

Nurk with 3 boards on a possession and missed the bunnies...

 

[illmatic99]

These past four minutes of game time have taken like 20. Come on

 

[James lamphear]

We got to rebound our defense boards and only allowed one shot got to bang those boards guys.

 

[Labinot41]

Cmon Chauncey bring the tanking lineup to close the game

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Good News: We could get 50% more road wins tonight!
Bad News: We could get 50% more road wins tonight.

 

[TBpup]

Nurk with 3 boards on a possession and missed the bunnies...

So....#Nurking

 

[riverman]

Might see Greg Brown after all

 

[riverman]

welp.....that's it for rebounds....Chauncey should challenge that foul call

 

[SlyPokerDog]

ANTime!

 

[riverman]

That was Roco's 4th steal and a game changer

 

[riverman]

Roco has played 40 minutes

 

[Mr. Robot]

if nurk wasnt an idiot that he is, hed have 30+ pts this game

hes his own enemy, some players just have head issues

 

[riverman]

Holy tank grenade Batman! We blew a track!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

BLAZERS WIN!

BLAZERS WIN!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I blame @HomerLovesKoolAid for this victory.

 

[James lamphear]

Well we won and Nurk and Simons double double and Nas had a good. But you got continue to play the whole I think we play not to loose and got out rythem towards the end. Plus we got to play smarter you can't foul on offense foul.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Fuck. This is a tankless job...

 

[Hoopguru]

Whats Joe working on?

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I blame @HomerLovesKoolAid for this victory.

The Blizzards (Calabro) were useless.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Blevins plays.
Blazers win.

Correlation IS causation!

Blazers Uprise Postgame Show
Blazers 115, Wizards 110
Ant leads the way with 31 points and 11 assists. Nurk with 23 points and 14 rebounds. The Blazers go into Washington and get a win. Come chat about the game!

 

[blazerkor]

Dominant first half by Ant and it was nice not to see him force it when he didn't have it in the second half. Ends up with 31 points 11 assists and only 2 turnovers. RoCo looked great tonight. Nurk looked good when he wasn't fouling. I don't think this team is made for tanking.

We'll have to see what happens over the next 26 days. Will we go full tank, will we try to just a couple pieces to get under the tax and keep the team in the playoff hunt just in case Dame can come back or do we blow it up and somehow put a team on the floor that wins a lot without Dame and is in a good position to contend when he comes back. Exciting times.
