How do the Blazers having won 9 of 10 games only rise up one spot in the rankings? We were #24 last week and now #23.

Was thinking we would be 15th or something. Its power rankings for today, not how we'll finish the season.

Because rankings are moronic and pointless.

First game with Amen Thompson playing PG.

21/10/9, game isn't over yet.

Great performance, shame they lost to (checks notes) the Brooklyn Nets. Let's check back in a year and see what Scoot's doing at the age Thompson is now.

The circus around Bronny is disrespectful to true NBA players.

I haven’t heard a thing from national media about POR. Nobody cares about a winning streak for a losing team with no celebrity players

No Dunks podcast mentioned us at end of today’s episode. We just have to keep winning and move out of the 13 spot and more people will talk. Btw- Lillard has 21 points and 10 assists in 21 minutes right now. How is that even possible? Only 1 to too.

The Warriors are now the frontrunner to win the title in 2021.

Yes and they lost because of Amen’s turnover that allowed Brooklyn to hit two 3s in the last 10 seconds.

Well done sir, well done. I enjoyed that.

 

[Natebishop3]

I wonder if Golden state would want RWIII and or Grant?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

The Warriors are now the frontrunner to win the title in 2021.

No they certainly are not lol. I think they got better but they're borderline playin team thus far this season and Butler isn't as effective as 3 years ago. Cavs Celtics Knicks Thunder are all far better. Hell even the Lakers are probably superior - Luka is way better today than Butler

Edit I missed the 2021 part.... Well done sir

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Don't think they could match Grant salary? Timelord Id think they could but not sure they're giving up a pick for that.

Id probably send Timelord out for a swap though.

Like they need another one

Garland just hit a logo 3 at the buzzer to win in Detroit. Actually on the logo.

Lonzo signs a 2 year 20 mil extension with the Bulls.

Warriors blew an 11 point in 3 minutes. Thunder and Kings getting spanked. Spurs won but still a good night foe us.

 

[wizenheimer]

what would be Toronto's motivation for doing that?

 

[blazerfan11]

Yes , that was a horrendous finish for Amen. Aaron Holiday was WIDE WIDE open not only to catch the pass, but to score. Holiday was past half-court with Russell still near the 3-point line when Amen made the pass.

Instead, Amen missed the pass in front of Brooks and it rolled, with help from Tosan Evbuomwan, to Russell who hit the game winning three.
