    Billups certainly leaving him in long enough to get a chance. 36+ minutes.

    Simons is beyond legit...You give him a season of CJ's minutes and attempts, the guy would blow up. Don't even get me started on his efficiency vs CJ

    It wasn't what I thought was a missed 'line' by Vegas or anything. Just had a feeling.....so the bet wasn't that big. Still, like making $$ on a win versus a loss.
    Now if the Raiders win, it's a 2'fer day.

    Simons 31/6 I can say you see the confidence and I think the game has slow down enough for him that he actually seeing the game better.

    The shitty defenders sit and we lock it up defensively hmm weird.

    btw if our surplus at guard doesn’t end up with Cronin making a consolidation trade for a starter somewhere else ima beat heated

    Nurkic sounds like shit. Sounds like he’s still receiving.

    The Kings are so much better at tanking than we are....comes from decades of experience I guess

    there’s a clear decision to be made. Question is when do they make it because it doesn’t necessarily have to be now.

    Led by 31 points from Ant and a near triple-double from Nurk, the Blazers easily beat the Kings. Come chat about the game with us and join our spaces later if you want to comment or ask a question!

    I've not been much of an Ant fan but the way he has been playing lately when it is "his" team has been impressive.

    Willing to eat some crow to have one our young'uns step up like that - especially one on whom I'd basically given up as being more than a role player.

    I think we could get a lot of value for him now, especially if he has a couple more games like this. Otherwise we have to match whatever is offered for him and then trade him next year at the deadline because if we are sticking with Dame and we better be, we just can't maximize Ant's value.
