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

The Trade with the Pels is looking a bit better. Seems like both CJ and Hart needed to have a different situation.
Seriously the fans over at Pelicans Roost are saying much of the same things this forum has been saying. Both Players could thrive from their new positions on teams.

 

She's "Fresh" you know. Might even say "Exciting".

 

It was a good game. One team played hard.

 

I'm kind of wanting to see what happens in Brooklyn first. He still has not even played a game yet. I expect him to have a good first week or two. Same as Hart and CJ are doing. But i would like also to see if he gets blasted again in the Playoffs when he can't make a shot and cannot hit a free throw. He's absolutely no threat standing in a corner so teams will play 5 on 4 defense when they sag off him and when he gets the ball they will hack him and make him go to the line where he wilts like a lettuce in a microwave. The big question is "Can Nash get this guy to actually work on his game?". If not? I don't want him anywhere near the Blazers. If he can he won't ever be available.

 

Personally i'm more excited to watch this team with Lillard after he has watched this team for a few months. Then you add Little and we might have a decent team?

 

Great game so far the new roster is doing well but let's see what we look like once teams have enough tape on this roster to do a proper scouting of the team.

 

No surprise to Blazer fans. Many have been saying CJ would thrive without Lillard.

 

Agreed. Reading their forum is kinda the same in reference to Josh Hart. They all seem to know he can be really good but might have just needed a new place. They also feel that CJ has been held back by being second option. Now It seems Cronin is being honest and sincere when he says this deal was in the making for a while and a number of people including Dame and CJ approved of it.

 

Good point. The only way we could acquire him is if it doesn't work well in Brooklyn.

If Simmons fails in Philly, sits out most of a year, then can't succeed with Durant and Nash as a coach, why would he succeed here?

 

@THE HCP would have a coronary if that happened.

 

Why are we blowing out the Bucks on their floor lmao

 

I'm having fun !! Are you having fun ?

 

I would love to beat the Lakers and Pelicans, either finish above them in the standings or knock them out of the playin and send them to the lottery. We get the Pels pick. The Pels get the Lakers pick. Dame comes back for some fun games in the playoffs with this young team, and we now have all our future picks after 2022.

Of course getting our own lottery pick could be a nice alternative. But there is enough upside with us winning that its fine for us all to just root for wins.

 

That 4 game win streak cost us 3 spots in the draft. Oh well, it was the last enjoyable part of the season!

 

You’re replying to yourself?

 

I was waiting for you to pat me on the back, but got impatient!

 

Good Job!
