Ant doubters always chirp in the 1st half then mysteriously go quiet in the 2nd half.

One day Ant is going to play the same in the first as he plays in the second and he's going to go for 60

LET'S GO BLAZERS

And BTW, CJ Elleby will be an NBA player. That too shall come to pass!

he’s ok. Still can’t shoot but he rebounds well and plays defense. Should lose minutes to Keon tho

 

[Tweak]

And just like that, we're back in the play-in. Good thing theres a tough 5 game stretch up next!

Man that was a fun 4th quarter! Glad Hart had a good game. I hope we keep him.

 

[wizenheimer]

if I counted right, the Knicks were 2-14 in the 4th Q with 5 turnovers

this was a team that was 4th seed last season, with pretty much the same roster today, Has Thibs lost the players already?

For the Ant doubters

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Can’t complain about that.

 

[Strenuus]

I guess you could say this team needed a.

Wait for it ...

Hart transplant.

 

[Scalma]

For the Ant doubters

Those still exist?

Blazers Uprise Postgame ShowBlazers 112, Knicks 103Portland comes back from down 23 in the 2nd half to stun New York. Come tell us if you feel good or bad about winning right now!

 

[Strenuus]

That shit was fun man. Not gonna lie. Gonna enjoy these wins as they come even though I know losses are good too.

But god damn is it so fucking good to see transition basketball like that with Hart.

 

[Strenuus]

Also... Billups is gonna be a damn good coach.

Saw him regularly talking to all the players at length. One time with GB3 he had an extended conversation and GB3 dapped him up, they hugged it out and Billups gave him a hearty pat on the back.

Love it.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

the knicks sure are a lot better at tanking than the blazers

now that's the way to collapse in the 4th Q

Actually the Knicks haven’t been better at much for a long time including tanking.

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Hart’s contract status?

Non-guaranteed next year, but $13M right before July 1 at team discretion? Following year is the same, but Hart’s discretion?

Is this correct?

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Enjoy the win, it will be a long time until we see another W

Says you.

Guys we played awesome in the fourth but the Knicks also shit the bed. That game felt great but I think it's really likely that we lose the next eight and possibly all of the games between now and when we face these same Knicks again. I hope we do win games, every time we play I want a win and that was really fun but this season I don't mind the losses because it improves our draft position and lottery chances.

I hope we keep playing like we did this fourth quarter even when most of the next eight opponents are beating our asses. I hope our guys can keep their chins up during those games and learn from them too. I actually hope I'm wrong and this last quarter of basketball is how we play for the rest of the season and how shitty we make our opponents look for the rest of the season. GO BLAZERS!!!
