  11. 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:

    >Trendons skill set offensively is the role player we’ve needed for half a decade.
    >Dame getting trapped at halfcourt means that whoever is setting screens is going to get wide open 10 foot floaters (remember how many of those shots Whiteside got?) and need to be able to put the ball on the floor and make the correct play out of the short roll, both things that we haven’t been able to consistently do since Plumlee left.

    >However he does have great ball skills for a big man and is capable of making straight line drives to the basket and getting to his floater.
    >The other thing he’s great at (and I would say is the best aspect of his game) is he’s very smart at recognizing when the guard gets trapped and making great decisions out of that when he gets the ball.
    >I’ve made a video kind of breaking down his offense here. Again, never gonna really be like a Siakam type of forward who you can build an offense around, but still very useful and great decision maker..

  14. Fantastic comeback. Trendon was legendary tonight. Big credit to coach for sticking with him down the stretch, probably doesn’t do that earlier in the year.

  16. I tuned in in the fourth and there was some show on where a bunch of guys in blazers jerseys were playing defence

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

  24. Such a feel good game. Dame looked exhausted especially with that injury scare, he can’t always do it alone. Loved that Ant and Watford stepped up, efficient and made the right plays!

  28. 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 ⌚️

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

  34. Back to .500 and tied with the Warriors for ninth – we’re moving up! ⬆️⬆️⬆️

  40. Good game y’all, when we were up 20 I told my friend they’re gonna start raining threes sooner or later and……yea. Your offense is scary.

  43. Great win. However I don’t understand the Wizards. Porzingis was cookin us. Why did they go away from him?

  44. Well…Simons trade value just went up. Just to clarify, I am a Simons fan and want to keep him and Sharpe.

  45. 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.

  46. Watched that game from the plane going across country. Damn feels good to win that!
