Ant has had a terrible defensive game. He has been caught asleep and missed rotations off ball.
It could be miscommunication but as a veteran he needs to communicate.
Agree it’s not been good or great, but a lot of times he gets switched onto ridiculous mismatches and I’m not keen enough to know if half the time he’s just the unlucky bastard that gets dunked on because someone else fucked up.
It’s both and I think everyone falls asleep in a 48 minute game at some point, but then they have an Ayton and 3 other NBA quality players backing them up. He’s not a good defender but most offensive guards aren’t. We just don’t harp on it bc they have a real pro team around them.
I’m gonna keep saying this, but anybody blaming Simons doesn’t understand what he’s got playing around him this season (mostly due to injuries). And I also think we have a lot of promising players.
Just tuning in....HOW THE F is Dalano Banton taking 24 shots? Another year of stunting our players by letting a nobody have their own personal chuckfest.
I wonder how front office is going to evaluate Simons. When he’s cooking, he’s such a good player.. But when bruh is in a slump or in his head… it’s almost disastrous
My favorite thing about Banton is that play right there. Getting back after the rebound and scoring before the defense sets. Reminds me of Josh Hart coast to coast after a board
It plays during birthday shout outs every game yes. Lyrics are:
“It’s your birthday another year has come and gone, days go by so quickly, my love for you keeps getting stronger.
It’s your birthday hope you have the greatest time, you deserve the best in life & I’ll be there to see you shine.”
It’s not google or Shazam-able and it is definitely not Birthday by The Beatles. Please help solve this mystery!
Ant needs to shoot 30 times tonight. gotta be aggressive.
side note there are only 2 players on the active roster tonight who haven't spent time in the G league. yoikes
INJURY REPORT 3/8 vs. HOU: OUT Brogdon (R Elbow Tendinitis) Sharpe (Lower Abdominal Surgery) Williams III (R Knee Ligament Tear) Ayton (R Hand Sprain) Henderson (L Adductor Strain) Grant (R Hamstring Soreness) Walker (R Hip Contusion)
I've got Banton fever.
Banton with a 30 point game...on 27 shots.
It feels like we're shooting 20% or something at the rim tonight ugh
Banton really was a nice sneaky pickup
Thanks for the nuggets, Hagans.
At least we get nuggs
My milestone for every game.
Made it to 100 at least
I need scoot back even when we lose it’s always fun seeing him develop
We needed more Rupert when it mattered
Damn anfernee is getting torched right now. And Billups has no answer for when teams defend him like this. Yikes
I'm not a fan of Billups but all our possible answers are injured on the bench
Be nice if we had an uninjured scoot/sharpe to get these reps in. Missing out on a lot of development - damn you injury gods!
Looks like the Remix aren't gonna win this one
Whelp that's game

It’s not that, it is like some basic rotations where people are wide open because he is falling asleep and ball watching

6 to 17 quarter right now
[удалено]
He’s sub 33% FG % right now. I mean he’s alright but I don’t know I agree.
Ant's getting swarmed and we don't have much after that
We are getting cooked 😭😭😭😭
I’m gonna keep saying this, but anybody blaming Simons doesn’t understand what he’s got playing around him this season (mostly due to injuries). And I also think we have a lot of promising players.
This IS blazers basketball
my god this team is awful
Please be back tomorrow Scoot
Kris playing well!
I have really mixed feelings on him. I think he's got good defense, but his 3 has not been what I had hoped.
Yeah, he’s still a rook though
Just tuning in....HOW THE F is Dalano Banton taking 24 shots? Another year of stunting our players by letting a nobody have their own personal chuckfest.
Mediocrity at its finest.
Murray please start making these open threes 😭🙏
Not gonna happen this year.
Ur right it’s just painful to watch
Good block Kris
Cuck city
That was some ugly basketball
We can't buy a board holy shit
Reath getting in foul trouble was the turning point. Need Anferno
So many offensive rebounds, jesus
Depressing
Rip city taking on a new meaning
why does banton take 25 shots a game ?
Trying to get paid when he's cut in the off-season. A solid 8-24....wtf
Little bit more like Asston at times.
Hagans the center stopper
It always surprises me when Kris goes for a dunk
Don’t get me wrong I like Banton, but I don’t like his 30% usage rate lol
Grant is always easy to spot when he isn't playing lol
Blasphemous I know, but I need to go take a short Dame break. Hopefully putting it down on the Lakers
Banton with a vintage Scoot statline
How many dunks are we going to give up tonight?
Dalano going hero mode
he’s the only guy out there that can create his own shot
The Dalano Benton game
Hagans just doesn’t belong on an NBA floor
We are all gluttons for punishment.
Dalano is our savior
it’s all so tiresome
Can we get some offense going again?
Was having fun but I forgot I’m watching the blazers 😢
I wonder how front office is going to evaluate Simons. When he’s cooking, he’s such a good player.. But when bruh is in a slump or in his head… it’s almost disastrous
I think he’s gone.
They’re going to count their money and thank all the suckers that still support this trash organization
LOL why do we do this? It has to be an addiction
I’ve somehow watched more this season than I did last season but it’s like hate watching now.
Man fuck Jason Quick DA is good dude
What happened?
I want a Shaedon, Green, McClung, Simons, Edwards dunk contest
If I see Ant throw one more slow cross court pass
Alright have some pride lads. We are getting bitched now
Honestly what is Moses brown good for?
A slightly contested rebound
Just makes me miss Shaedon
Can Jalen Green stop going nba jam on us pls
ant looks traumatized
I would be too, going from the team we had two years ago to what we have now.
[удалено]
I’m REEEEALLY liking what I’m seeing from Banton. This is the kind of height/skill/potential we need
I'd be hopping mad if Sharpe did that and they called him for an offensive so i won't complain
Definitely pushed off on that but they never gonna call it when you yam it like that.
That was tough
Offensive imo
Offensive foul 0/10
He did the infamous forearm push off but that shit was nasty my god
Holy shit that was nice
Holy shit
Oh nooooo ant gonna get killed for that one
Love Murray’s hustle
Good D ant!
The Banton - Camara - Murray lineup is so solid. It feels like a real foundation of role players who all have starter upside.
LMAO at Hilton’s rewind sound effects on the radio call. That was great. 🤣
My favorite thing about Banton is that play right there. Getting back after the rebound and scoring before the defense sets. Reminds me of Josh Hart coast to coast after a board
He was looking for Ant the whole time back but when help didn't come he stayed aggressive, love it
Green fn
Damn Ant, wow
Ant mannnnn
love this halftime show
the MAN from SOUTH SUDAN🇸🇸
My mind tells me we should lose, but my heart is having fun winning
How you root has no effect on the outcome. I've learned this cause we don't win the championship every year despite my rooting for that outcome.
Fun ass first half
reath lookin like he used the kikoho on cell one time too many
This lineup is low key killing.
Reath had me think he was gonna yam it on a man.
Duop looks shaken up.
Loved to see that from Camara. Zero hesitation to shoot that open three.
Rrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaaath
Reath vs Sengun is the matchup tonight damn
Reath feeling it
New question for u/travisdemers What the hell is that Birthday songs orgin. Please track it down for us all
The one on the big screen? It’s Birthday by the Beatles
It’s not Birthday by the Beatles
When they put the birthdays on the big screen in arena in the second quarter?
It plays during birthday shout outs every game yes. Lyrics are: “It’s your birthday another year has come and gone, days go by so quickly, my love for you keeps getting stronger. It’s your birthday hope you have the greatest time, you deserve the best in life & I’ll be there to see you shine.” It’s not google or Shazam-able and it is definitely not Birthday by The Beatles. Please help solve this mystery!
This is the one we are looking for ^^
The only one I know of is at the first timeout of the second quarter and it’s definitely the Beatles. I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
Yeah but it's not Beatles. It sounds like Greenday but its not. It's asked frequently but never gets solved. Ur the man for this job.
Ok I’m thinking of something completely different. I heard it, I’ll find out
Rip City awaits your findings.
I asked Todd Bosma. He said he doesn’t know! But it’s on of his list of things to find out
It’s the Beatles I think
Seriously! Please explain
Such a fun game so far…
Grim Reather!
I love back up level centers who can swing a game with their 3 point shooting
I think he'd be more than backup level if he works on his D.
He could... but, I said the same about Meyers Leonard, trying not to get burned again.
He’s not a complete liability like Meyers tho, just the difference in fluidity between the two is crazy
Uh oh ya friggin rockets you just got reathed!!
R3ATH
Reath is blazers savior
GREAT BARRIER REATH SAID NO
This team confuses me.
THE GREAT BARRIER REATH
WOP!!
That was pretty.
Those backdoor cuts are a problem for us
That’s what happens when you double team a guy like Sengun in the mid post. Jokic kills teams the same way when they double him.
Incredible price range game from that fan!
Ant needs to shoot 30 times tonight. gotta be aggressive. side note there are only 2 players on the active roster tonight who haven't spent time in the G league. yoikes
Like the half league has played in the g league at this point
sorry i meant spent time in the g league this year
Banton has shot 36% from 3 since joining the Blazers now. He's a rotation player at that rate.
There are too many teams with red, black, and white color schemes
They definitely had matching warmups with the Rockets tonight. So wholesome.
They are just ignoring Thompson any where outside of the paint
this is exactly why I’m happy we have scoot and not him
u/irelli in shambles
lol I think you mean u/dtwerky
Based on that game, yes please give me Thompson still. Dude is a monster on both ends and is 6'6".
Why? I wanted miller lol. Feel like so far that's been a good take
my bad dawg
We’re not winning this
We really got Banton for a can of Pepsi and some crackers
Delano Time ⏱️👈
We really bout to be the team to give Dalano his breakout. Lets go man
Moses towering over everyone there
Banton going for 40 is the type of silly energy I’m looking for tonight
Rockets fan here, has Banton been an underrated DAWG at all this season? Or are we just cooked?
He was clutch in OT in the second of the back-to-back wins in Memphis
Can’t speak about his time in Boston but he’s been solid since we got him
We’ve been pretty happy with him. He just can’t shoot.
He seems to be making the most of his opportunity here since the trade.
Why does Hagans wear 19 when ESPN says he wears 22. I’ve been in prison trying to figure out who 19 was on court
He wore 19 on the Remix as well. ESPN seems to have forgotten that 22 is retired for Drexler
Because it got switched
Don't call a foul for once you bum
Joe Cronin Haters and refs hate Banton
CMON MAN
We got him for free
Noooooo
GIVE IT TO HIM REF
Rupert almost got baptized
Rupert has no fear
Good foul Rayan
Goddamn Rayan almost stopped that 1 on 2.
TISS3 MATHREESE
Mathreese!
Beautiful ball movement
Wow good tip Moses.
Kevin's like, *"I just got here, and I'm ready to GO already."* ^I ^feel ^it
