If Deni is injured, they should think about signing a game-changing point guard, even Chris Paul, by the end of the year.
mike thanks to you i just went bankrupt, once caleb hit his 4th three of the game i bet my entire life savings on the win, smh
hope it has nothing to do with his car accident two days ago…
לא כל יום פורים 😂 👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪💪פעם הבאה 💟✌️😉
I hope Deni is OK ..
We need to protect him at all cost.
Rest up .. tomorrow is a new day.
WE BELIEVE!
Caleb Love scored 5 threes and Blazers lost! You promised me wins, Michael Richardson-Manifred!
Was great to finally meet you, though 😊
Wish you the best ❤️
Mike, you should bring Sissoko and love to one of your episodes and talk to them about how and what the experiences of two way guys in the NBA feels like ect and the ofc how they been able to grow…
I think it’ll make a very interesting conversation
Deni just pulled a back muscle. He’ll be okay. Needs to rest for a few days
But but but… Caleb Love hit 5 3’s 😮
הוא שיחק כמעט את כל המשחק, לדעתי זו שחיקה ומאמץ על הגוף, לא פשוט להיות רבע שנה באוויר וכל יומיים משחק ועוד עם סגל חסר מאוד, כשהאחריות על הראש שלך
Man, if Deni gets injured now for a few weeks, we should just tank for the rest of the season.
sometimes things have no upside – an injury to your leading player is one of them.
excited to hear from Donovan though, he's having a fantastic year
This is by far our most important stretch of the season as we play teams who are just above us in the standings. If deni is too injured to play through it and we lose these games we might as well just tank and let deni get all the rest he needs. And next year we bring in pieces who can compliment him and hope for a healthy roster. With dame back I believe next year we will be a top team in the west
DENI NOOOOOOOOOOO
Great work as always, excited for tomorrow's show!
Here's my take:
Good tough game by all of the Blazers again against a very good and determined Knick team.
At the 4 minutes, with Blazers up by 1, Deni was obviously fouled by Brunsen while going to the basket, but no call. The game turned after that play.
Also, Deni seemed to get injured earlier in the game, and they didn't take him out right away. Not sure why not.
Knicks are a good team. They do everything well (Shoot,, Play D, Strong point guard, mentally tough). I expect them to be in the Eastern Conference finals. Losiong to them isn;t fun but this is the best team we've played in some time.
❤
I would have Deni stay home and skip the Warriors game, we have been over using him
I was watching Deni wincing and stretching at midcourt the play before the rebounding incident, he was clearly in discomfort a little bit earlier
Scoot may get an opportunity with Deni and his back injury. Hope Scoot gets back to playing soon.
What is going on with scoot they said like 8 weeks
Love the Half Baked reference
