Game Thread Game #58 - BLAZERS @ BUCKS - FEBRUARY 14, 2022 - MONDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

[e_blazer]

So, looks like Cronin's built a contender.

 

[illmatic99]

Ant is adorable haha. Love the confidence

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Simons not afraid of anybody

 

[blazerfan11]

This might be a playoff team if you just replaced Elleby with Nas lol

Might be a playoff team? Already in the play-in as of today.

Bucks roster is still really good without Giannis. And the game is in Milwaukee. Did you think we had a chance? You’re the guy who said we were going to lose 13 in a row.

Agreed but nowhere close to as good obviously. It's a good win because every win is a good win. The guys played hard on both ends of the court. We had six different guys with four or more assists. That's some team ball and they were just as connected on defense.

 

[B-Roy]

What could Terry do with this group?

 

[PCmor7]

CHAUNCEY-BALL!

Ant scored 31, and I don't think that was the reason we won the game. It was so in the flow it didn't seem like 31. But the defense on key possessions, the hustle, the passing and the offensive rebounding, that's what stood out to me.

And, with apologies to the tank, the Grayson Allens had this coming. Too many of their non-stars were laughing it up when they crushed the Blazers at Moda.

 

[Mediocre Man]

zero chance were winning the championship this season.

Better chance now than before the trades. Still around 0% though

 

[blazerfan11]

as I said on trade day, Winslow if healthy CAN PLAY! Roco who?

I love Nurk cutting from the baseline. All he needs to do is catch and put it in the bucket. No dribbling through traffic necessary.

 

[blazerkor]

What could Terry do with this group?

Terry Porter???

 

[Mr. Robot]

Ant played a good game. Hart played a good game. Nurk played well. Elleby still making a case to be an NBA player.

nurk played great

take that you hater

 

[Scalma]

What could Terry do with this group?

Turn them all into iso shooters.

 

[rotary111]

Simons is for real!
Holiday is one of/the best in the business.

Billups is one hell of a coach!
He has these guys believing they can do anything.

 

[Hoopguru]

These guys are playing the way Chauncey wants them too.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Let me say a word in praise of Nurk. It's easy to forget the big guy when we're running and gunning, but he was a workhorse, and +28 in only 30 mins. He was really unselfish, too.

 

[Chris Craig]

Can we get Dame and Little back by playoffs

 

[DDolla]

What could Terry do with this group?

Bench Watford, Brown and Elleby as the towell boy

 

[blazerfan11]

...and yet somehow scored 34 in a win over Washington when he was in college?

Maybe he can get some of that back.

 

[DDolla]

Let me say a word in praise of Nurk. It's easy to forget the big guy when we're running and gunning, but he was a workhorse, and +28 in only 30 mins. He was really unselfish, too.

He is loving Winslow

 

[Scalma]

Ben Simmons is Justise Winslow with a bad attitude hahahaha

 

[blazerfan11]

Can we get Dame and Little back by playoffs

I think we could get Lillard back. Haven't heard a medical reason why not.
Little, no.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Dare I say we may have our 2nd All star/ superstar. I was looking forward to seeing what he could do against a great defensive team (obviously missing their best player). Kid has crazy handles and can get his shot off against anybody.

 

[Tince]

We're going to regret these wins come May, but boy they're fun to watch!

 

[Hoopguru]

Winslow at times down low boxing out reminds me of Calvin Natt some.

 

[Pinwheel1]

These guys have better ball movement than most teams in the league. 4 guys pushing the ball up the court all game long.
Freaking love Watford, Hart, and Winslow.
Simons continues to make people look stupid.

 

[Bingo Bango]

The passing, the passing, the FUCKING PASSING! I FUCKING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is why Lillard may be expendable, as crazy as that sounds. He tends to dominate the ball, which is not the Blazers’ style anymore.

 

[PCmor7]

30 assists ... 6 guys with at least 4 and no one with more than 6.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

nurk played great

take that you hater

He complained less I’ll give you that.
Take that you Nurk lovin robot.

 

[B-Roy]

He is loving Winslow

Yeah it feels like Nurk wants to hug Justise and plant a big fat kiss on his head.

 

[Natebishop3]

Can I just apologize real quick for doubting that Ant could ever be a point guard? I thought it was a horrible decision a couple years ago. He looked completely lost. I was apparently very wrong.
