Fantastic comeback. Trendon was legendary tonight. Big credit to coach for sticking with him down the stretch, probably doesnāt do that earlier in the year.

We were simple witnesses to Trendon’s greatness tonight

I wanna see more Josh Hart threes!

WATFORD. SIMONS. HART. Wow I did not expect to win that at half time. Our team has a gear 0 and gear 10. Crazy

Such a feel good game. Dame looked exhausted especially with that injury scare, he canāt always do it alone. Loved that Ant and Watford stepped up, efficient and made the right plays!

I know a trade is likely, but whomever it is, I’ll miss them.

Hart needed that 4th. Great job closing it!

Ant stock up 20% on MASSIVE earnings beat; strong growth forecast

Lmfao that final defensive play by the wizards was god fucking awful. They really just let Dame run by the entire team and dunk it with no effort. GGs wiz, ya just got Damed āļø

Trendon is such a happy, loveable dude. Please develop a jumper so I can enjoy your game for the next 10 years š

Great win. However I don’t understand the Wizards. Porzingis was cookin us. Why did they go away from him?
super-dad-bod
Wellā¦Simons trade value just went up. Just to clarify, I am a Simons fan and want to keep him and Sharpe.

This is a good, honest .500 basketball team. We play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio basketball. We lose a couple, guess what? We’ll win a couple, too. But don’t get too excited or let it go to your head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That’s hubris, which this blue collar, hard working everyman team doesn’t have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to form, will balance it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that’s my 2023 Blazers. A good, honest .500 basketball team.

Thank you based Simons
Thank you based Watford
Good things happen when Josh scores.
Watford eats Kuzma flakes for breakfast
Dame only 29 points what a scrub time to trade him for Kyrie
Vando who?

I know this is probably going to sound insufferable but I just wanted to say I told you so:
Said [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/ripcity/comments/zcs1fe/game_thread_the_portland_trail_blazers_1211_vs/iyyn745/) two months ago when he was riding the bench:
