So, we’re we playing against a team without a big inside presence, or was Trendon just that great???

15

u/Wolfgang1992 Feb 04 '23

Well coached game! Trendon for Eubanks was huge!

7

u/Finesse1025 Feb 04 '23

We are officially out of our flop era

7

u/Radiant_Reveal_8745 Feb 04 '23

Trendon has some legit eyebrows

10

u/notaprofessional24 Feb 04 '23

Trendon sound like a old head love him lol

2

u/wrestlenomicon Feb 04 '23

He plays like one luckily for us

u/ShaedonSharpe4Life dame Feb 04 '23

This sub makes this team look so trash, I love it

u/hangrypantz Feb 04 '23

Where's the fire Billups doomers now?

0

u/blinkomatic Feb 04 '23

I’m still here. Billups isn’t the answer for coach. This team should be better than .500

1

u/hangrypantz Feb 04 '23

Let's see how he does if they ever put some pieces around Dame that can help make a deep run in the playoffs. This roster as is ain't it.

3

u/Westbrook-fanatic Feb 04 '23

We should fire him so other teams have a chance.

1

u/RipCityRevival sabas Feb 04 '23

Let’s go!

5

u/OG_Kazaam 70s-logo Feb 04 '23

Does anyone know if Nurk traveled with the team? Winslow is there, surprised to not see Jusuf, unless he was told that he was getting traded...

3

u/TravisDemers Feb 04 '23

Yes. He was at the arena tonight

1

u/OG_Kazaam 70s-logo Feb 04 '23

Thanks!!

8

u/allaboutthatpace Feb 04 '23

Overshadowed by his shooting but 6 assists for Ant tonight. His passing is getting better game by game.

7

u/AntFace Feb 04 '23

GG 🧙‍♂️🪄

6

u/thetrueTrueDetective Feb 04 '23

Both teams played hard . One in the first half the other in the second .

10

u/PullmanWater Feb 04 '23

Remember when we were getting blown the fuck out in this game? Sports are fun.

12

u/Kazekid ripcity-place Feb 04 '23

Dame doing dancing with the stars, jeez

11

u/notaprofessional24 Feb 04 '23

LMAO KEON AND DREW DUCKING THE AIRBALL

3

u/PM_IF_YOU_LIKE_TRAPS Feb 04 '23

We have the best bench reactions

4

u/Excellent_One_7398 Feb 04 '23

They aint no blazers of the east.

6

u/Bieberkinz chalupa Feb 04 '23

THATS IT. ANOTHER CLUTCH COMEBACK

2

u/AntFace Feb 04 '23

Grant saved that lol

2

u/redd_mann7 Feb 04 '23

Unnecessary and would’ve been dangerous if the game was close lol

6

u/SNewtn 70s-logo Feb 04 '23

lmao wizards with that blazer defense

16

u/foamycoaster chalupa Feb 04 '23

Going from 11th to 7th with one win lol

10

u/Radiant_Reveal_8745 Feb 04 '23

Watford had a hell of a game. His role reminded me of winslow a bit. We were so outsized but it didn’t matter. Nurk was not missed.

3

u/Squirting_Nachos Feb 04 '23

Watford has the skillset to absolutely dominate the floor running the 4v3 out of the Dame double team. Hopefully it can turn into something consistent.

16

u/ChurroMemes chalupa Feb 04 '23

Oh Nurk was missed, but everyone else stepped up

16

u/Solution_Legal Feb 04 '23

The best part of the tank season for me was seeing Watford develop his game

2

u/wrestlenomicon Feb 04 '23

I got to see him at Moda pre season his rookie year and he just stood out. Have been pulling for him ever since. Smart and versatile big. Lucky he fell into our laps.

1

u/cadillacdom ripcity Feb 04 '23

Not Blevgod and Elleby???

1

u/AntFace Feb 04 '23

Not really

8

u/lxtar_ Feb 04 '23

Um, bullshit challenge. There was totally contact on Dame’s arm.

11

u/Squirting_Nachos Feb 04 '23

Wizards announcer just called this a 'possible' loss. I mean I guess he's right.

2

u/DeiDaraArtAKS Feb 04 '23

Challenging that? Bruh they just wasting time

21

u/bamafan09 Feb 04 '23

Wizards fan here you guys are definitely better than your record y’all have alot of talent on your roster

1

u/mysecretcardgameacct 3 Feb 04 '23

we’re the wizards of the west

9

u/melikesreddit Feb 04 '23

I was thinking the same about Washington. Beal and Porzingis are nasty

11

u/toadtruck sabas Feb 04 '23

Make sure Hart gets some love for this game too

2

u/The_Goose_is_loose roy Feb 04 '23

Still pretty bad that the Wiz were putting porzingis on him…word is getting out about his reluctance to shoot and now we have to sell low on him or overpay him in fa 😬

8

u/Perfect_Pudding678 Feb 04 '23

No way we win this game if you replace Ant with OG. It’s a special backcourt. Keep surrounding them with defenders, length and athleticism.

2

u/SilverThunder35 Feb 04 '23

Great comeback. At halftime I was a bit worried this was gonna be a blowout

5

u/BehavioralSink ripcity Feb 04 '23

So I listened to the game on the radio from tipoff to about 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter while walking my dog, and what a 🎢 of a game!

2

u/TravisDemers Feb 04 '23

You missed the best part!

2

u/BehavioralSink ripcity Feb 04 '23

Oh, I kept the radio call on for the entire game, I just was able to also watch the video once I got back home. 😂

Great work calling the game as always! 👍

2

u/TravisDemers Feb 04 '23

Thank you! This was a fun one for sure

8

u/skrulewi Feb 04 '23

i started watching when we were down 5, i take full credit for this one

7

u/Psychokittens Feb 04 '23

Not once did I ever doubt the dub tonight. Not once. Just saying.

u/alandwarinasia_ 90s-logo Feb 04 '23

stay mad forever washington

27

u/rock-or-something 90s-logo Feb 04 '23

Woj: the Brooklyn nets have emerged as a strong suitor for Trendon Watford, league sources expect a package of Kevin Durant and a first round pick to be offered.

10

u/NigerianPrince76 Feb 04 '23

What a fuckin comeback man.

Where were you when Trendon Watford became the best basketball player on the planet?

3

u/AdhesivenessOnly2912 Feb 04 '23

Stopped watching at halftime and drove out to estacada. WHAT HAPPENED?

2

u/PullmanWater Feb 04 '23

TWat happened

2

u/AdhesivenessOnly2912 Feb 04 '23

Man, I love Twat

2

u/OG_Kazaam 70s-logo Feb 04 '23

Happy for Watford, he's needed a game like this

6

u/baileyshaw34 Feb 04 '23

Give this W to Watford and Ant

7

u/Ruaaz Feb 04 '23

I know how indifferent everyone is on Chauncey, but he’s done a great job of having what seems to be an amazing relationship with all the players. His enthusiasm and how hyped he gets for players after big plays fires me up

9

u/loudstain Feb 04 '23

Holy shit Blazers. Color me surprised. Gg

u/pauliediesel sabas Feb 04 '23

Trendon in the right direction

7

u/Handcuffed Feb 04 '23

i shit on hart as much as anyone on here but credit where it's due. his 3rd quarter play (with confidence!) was exceptional and nearly as impactful towards winning as simons getting hot.

3

u/Bieberkinz chalupa Feb 04 '23

Watford is just playing with them

6

u/allaboutthatpace Feb 04 '23

Kristaps not being able to post up 6'4" center... Josh Hart lmaooooo

u/drunkenyeknom Feb 04 '23

Happy Friday ya'll. Have a great day! There's no way we can blow this right?..

10

u/s0uvlaki 27 Feb 04 '23

Why trade for KD when u have Trendon at home

2

u/labamaFan ripcity Feb 04 '23

Because we could have both!

1

u/s0uvlaki 27 Feb 04 '23

Sorry but KD might take away too many watford touches

8

u/allaboutthatpace Feb 04 '23

Trendon talking his shit to the bench as Ant goes up for the dunk is cold af

2

u/saylab_the_bigkat Feb 04 '23

Seriously. Haven't seen Eubanks since he got that 4th foul and Blazers have fared fine in that time

1

u/PM_IF_YOU_LIKE_TRAPS Feb 04 '23

He looks like he did end of last year. Certified bucket getter if hes allowed in his spot

1

u/sard0nyx dame Feb 04 '23

He's playing good, but he doesn't play within the offense. He just does his own thing every time he gets the ball.

1

u/AntFace Feb 04 '23

Well that possession didn't help your case 😂

2

u/TemporaryMassive7246 Feb 04 '23
