https://youtu.be/4dRs55qAJ6c Sometimes, a moment of benevolence will strike me. While I normally withhold the juiciest NBA factoids from wider distribution to the unwashed commoners, there are times when I feel compelled to share my factoids with the plebeians which endlessly rabble at my feet. Now is one of those times. Using the advanced analytical service…

Anfernee Simons 26 Points Full Highlights (1/25/2021)
https://youtu.be/H8moZ48MAsA The Blazers’ injury situation is completely out of control. Unlike other teams with reduced rosters, who are simply struggling with COVID protocol, the Blazers are legitimately banged up, and, even worse, the injuries are centered on their starters. Walking into their locker room is like walking into a geriatric ward that was hit with…

Trailblazers fans were kind of hoping, after Anfernee Simons’ monster game to end the season last year, that he would step in and be the third guard after Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, the guy who could come in off the bench and reliably replace some of the midget chuck bros production by being a…

19 points may not sound like much compared to what we saw him do in the final game of last season, but make no mistake: this performance by Anfernee Simons is a real banger. Normally I’m no big fan of excessive replays, but this video is plastered with them. These buckets demanded replays. I’m imagining…

Something bad has happened to Rodney Hood. Something very bad. Rodney Hood won’t be coming back for a long time, maybe ever. But the universe always operates at a perfect balance. When something very bad happens, necessarily there will be something very good that happens somewhere else. And, in this case, that very good thing…

Am I being a dumb-dumb, or is Anfernee Simons just a younger, lower-minutes version of C.J. McCollum? Oh yeah, I forgot an adjective: better. This season, at least through twelve games, Simons is a younger, lower-minutes, BETTER version of McCollum. At least, that’s what it seems to me. But I don’t watch many Blazers games…

Let me tell you, Anfernee Simons’ three-pointer as time expired to potentially give the Blazers the win looked really good from my angle. Really good. Pretty much perfect, actually. Are we sure it didn’t actually go in and the NBA is just trying to fool us by saying it missed? Video-editing technology is very advanced,…

I should honestly institute a rule that a player cannot, simply cannot, have a highlight video made of them if they shoot less than 40% from the field. The stated exceptions to this rule would be: -Player in question got a triple-double -Player in question got a five-by-five -Player in question got fifteen or more…

It’s too early in the season to know how good Anfernee Simons is. Blazers fans have high expectations for him this season, but any fanbase, Blazers fanbase included, is usually optimistic about their young players. I take their expectations with a grain of salt. That said, Simons did dominate the last season’s final game with…

Anfernee Simons had arrived early at the arena to get some extra shots up. Coach Stotts had warned him that most of the regular lineup was resting, so Anfernee wanted to make sure he was loose and limber for what was sure to be more minutes than he had ever received before. As he put…
