    Idk why the fuck the Blazers decided to become the Warriors from 3 tonight, but I’m glad we survived that and thrived in the 2nd half. And I don’t care if it’s “just the hospital Blazers,” we are the 2nd worst road team in the league and we lost in OT at home to their main roster. We’ll take what we can get.

    We finally retook the lead in the 3rd under the run and gun lineup with FVV, Jalen, Cam, Amen, and Sengun. A veteran playmaker, a high IQ passing big man, and 3 athletic freaks. Amen for D and Jalen on O. Really interesting to see in play, and I’m glad the guys can finally start making lobs lol. Hope we see this lineup get more field-testing.

    Jock Landale actually looks like a solid backup big tonight. Unfortunate that was rare this season, but I’m glad he’s looked decent since ASB. Against the small Portland lineups he looked pretty good as a rebounder for once, and even made a 3 when no one else could! I thought pretty early on that he’s a surprisingly solid passer, and he seems to have a good 2-man game with Amen. Call them Hill Country Fare Jalen&Sengun for the rest of the season.

    Jalen played to his strengths in the fast break and got into a rhythm to play great overall. Handle and speed changes have been noticeably improved post-ASB. Really liking the improved defense and effort overall, and how it makes for transition plays that play into his strengths. Great development time between him, Amen, and Cam as well. Cam definitely needs to learn to pass more though.

  2. KDs_FakeAccount

    If Amen plays rest of the season without missing a game, does he meet the game criteria for All NBA Defense? Probably best all around defender in NBA right now

  3. Lmfao why the hell was Jerami grant dressed like an npc from the game Bully

  4. gotta be jalen’s best stretch of games in a LONG time. in march he’s now 51 FG%/35 3PT% on 24 ppg, playing great defense, making better reads, using his speed and change of pace to get to the rim effectively. keep it up

  5. Most chill game ever on the road. RIPCity lmao.

  6. WuziMuzik

    That was so fun, I miss them dunking on everyone every night. And also yea since that second suns game they have been looking a lot better on offense. Even if the ball doesn’t go in, they have showed better movement.

  7. amen thompson defensive masterclass + baby daddy jalen green highlight reel

  8. NoPickles

    draya is happy as fuck after that game.

    Jalen really showed a glimpse as to why he was 2nd overall pick.

  9. Over-Iron9386

    What an awesome way to end this shitty week I’ve had

  10. Anibunnymilli

    Amen doing vet things as a rookie.
    Love it.

  11. AdmirableRise3758

    Baby daddy jalen has arrived. League fucked

  12. NutNougat

    That was fun! They played like how the Clippers played us; with Blazers leading early but outmatched them in the end. Great defense too! And hats off to Jalen, who has recently been playing not just offense but defense as well. Off to the next game!

  13. GabeKnows

    Man that was a fun fuckin game, amen is such a fuckin dog and baby daddy jalen is a new mythical creature

  14. Zwischenzug11

    Jalen becoming a father and going off is comparable to Bregman’s

  15. Zwischenzug11

    Finished the second half strong 68-44!! 💪💪💪

  16. mesrepadam

    When i saw ausar the first time i said myself “Holly shit. This is a generational talent in deffense.” And i can easily say his brother amen is a better defender. Other than that green improved so much lately. I dont’t mind his fg success. The important part for me is his selections and readings. They were nearly perfect for the last three games i think. I suppose he has just understood that he will get better with team. Not by himself. His chemistry with alp and amen are improving day by day.

  17. Zwischenzug11

    3rd win in the last 4!! Almost beat the Clippers too!!

  18. Revolutionary_Cap154

    Can we make the play-in? Fingers crossed.

    Hilarious moment at the game, when Banton subbed out at some point in the 4Q the PA announcer tried to start a standing ovation for him as they flashed his stats up and he had like 20 points on 8-25 or something at the time.

    The arena didn’t really make any noise. ☠️

  21. Funny-Cricket-1001

    From match to match, Sengun amazes me more. His read of the game, his creativity, his passing,iq and courtvision. Even in a game that can be defined as silence when compared to his other games,he makes 6-7 asists. When our guards and forwards make those shots in a higher percentage, his asist average Will not be less than 10 to 12. When you doubleteam hım, he distributes  When one to one, he destroys in the paint. Superstar in the making… The Wizard…

  22. airemy_lin

    Amen in person is in another stratosphere in terms of athleticism. It was freaky.

    Jalen and Cam are crazy too but Amen really stands out in person.
