A win?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

A win?

They just beat the Lakers a couple nights ago. Both LeBron and Doncic played in that game.

 

[Cugel]

Grant with 6-0-0 is my guess for tonight

 

[riverman]

Return of Nurk and Seth Curry! Both coming off the bench.

 

[Chris Craig]

Grant with 6-0-0 is my guess for tonight

6 turnovers?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Super excited about Ant, Grant leading the way with 35 minutes each for a meaningless, hurtful win

 

[kjironman1]

Going to have to find a way to really be bad to lose this one.

 

[illmatic99]

i love watching toumani play defense.

he already has ball frustrated

 

[Cugel]

Grant is lost out there

 

[AldoTrapani]

Wow Grant is bad now lol.. I love it.. he helps the tank

 

[Ripcity4life77]

Watching Grant out there is just depressing cause even when he does something solid he then goes and does 2 plus things that make ya go -- WTF

 

[illmatic99]

man i keep wondering what more can tou do? is his ceiling higher than that of an elite role player?

the footwork on that pull up three was sick, prolly the first time ive ever seen him hit one of those.

and his passing out of the short roll has been on point.

hmm. we need to reevaluate.

 

[blazerfan11]

Why is Grant back in the game already?
Doesn't he need to learn a lesson sitting on the bench?

 

[illmatic99]

Why is Grant back in the game already?
Doesn't he need to learn a lesson sitting on the bench?

we need to tank, and no joke, he might be our worst player

 

[Mr. Robot]

Return of Nurk and Seth Curry! Both coming off the bench.

fuck seth curry, if he made that free throw...

 

[blazerfan11]

You can count on Anfernee Simons to take the team out of a flow.

 

[Cugel]

Ball is an exceptional passer.

Yeah that was sick. I hope he does it more often.

 

[Cugel]

Shae is feeling it

 

[illmatic99]

shae is some kinda. zone right now.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Lamelo is so overrated

 

[B-Roy]

Toumani is just incredible. My favorite player over the last decade not named Dame.

 

[illmatic99]

same

 

[illmatic99]

Lamelo is so overrated

toumani locking down guys makes a lot of them seem overrated.

 

[Mediocre Man]

shae is some kinda. zone right now.

Has the Conductor pulled him yet?

 

[42N8Bounce]

Toumani is just incredible. My favorite player over the last decade not named Dame.

Camara has 12 points and 7 rebounds and is shutting Ball down at the same time, holding him to 1-9 fg.

Camara is fun to watch. He doesn’t take any play off. 100% effort.

 

[Natebishop3]

Why has Scoot played 10 minutes in a fucking 30 point blowout? Is he hurt?

 

[wizenheimer]

couldn't watch the game; checked the box sore and saw for once the Blazers are on the right side of a laugher

also laughing about with 6 minutes left in the 3rd, Simons and Grant each have as many minutes (23) as Scoot and Sharpe combined

 

[wizenheimer]

Why has Scoot played 10 minutes in a fucking 30 point blowout? Is he hurt?

billups ?
