Game Thread Game #43 - BLAZERS @ ORLANDO MAGIC - JANUARY 17 2022 - MONDAY - 4:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[James lamphear]

Didn't see the 1st half but 14 point lead look.

 

[BlazerBeav]

CJ - still makes some of the most ridiculous shots.

 

[Titan]

The Magic know how to tank

 

[OneSport3]

NBA Twitter account helping to prop up that trade value.

 

[Strenuus]

In his last 5 games, those are MVP numbers.

Cool. Let's see how the other 77 go. Hundreds of players can get mvp numbers in 5 games so it's not a big deal.

Being consistent is a big deal. And really the only thing that matters.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Nas has been so good.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Nurk has been great tonight.

 

[TBpup]

Nas looking good....
Nurk looking good....
CJ doing okay....
....but Ant with his worst game in weeks so far.

Coincidence?

none whatsoever. ant is just missing the same looks he's been getting.

 

[TBpup]

.....and Ant who has had 11 assists two games in a row, now has 1 so far into the 3rd quarter.

If you are saying it's because CJs back

No

Ant is just having an off night thus far

lol stop making something out of nothing. just watch the game. dude is getting the exact same looks, the same touches, etc.

he's just pressing in front of nearly 100 people in the stands that he got tickets for.

 

[illmatic99]

ahem

 

[Titan]

At this point feed Nas more, let’s see what he got

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

That's some good shit right there. (no tanko)

 

[BlazerBeav]

I know we should be losing. But I do love watching the Blazers win games.

 

[Chris Craig]

I know we should be losing. But I do love watching the Blazers win games.

Agreed

 

[illmatic99]

lol ben mac is such a chucker man.

wonder if we can get something for him in a trade. could be of use to a playoff team

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I liked that sequence with about six passes before it got to an open guard; all passes between front court players.

 

[illmatic99]

wtf was that suggs. dirty ass play

 

[wizenheimer]

well...give Orlando credit for something...they sure know how to tank

 

[BlazerBeav]

 

[Strenuus]

Maybe we can take some lessons on how to tank from tonight.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Dumb end to the 3rd. Should have waited and taken the last shot of the quarter. Snell fired it up to0
early

 

[illmatic99]

hah that was a clean strip by CJ

 

[Sheldon Shape]

CJ wouldn't throw Nas the ball when he was wide open...

 

[KSF-ERIC]

If we keep playing like this and Dame doesn’t come back, Billups might sneak into coach of the year race. If we got to 6th somehow, that’s the kind of narrative voters latch onto.

 

[BlazerBeav]

17 and 20 for Nurk.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Playing good D but getting complacent on O

 

[TBpup]

CJ wouldn't throw Nas the ball when he was wide open...

So....situation normal.
