What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jason Quick @jwquick
A cruddy season in Portland has suddenly become … fun? Thanks to the versatility and energy infused from Josh Hart and Justise Winslow, these Blazers are winning back hearts. theathletic.com/3130408/2022/0… – 1:38 AM
Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
Jonathan Kuminga is my favorite young player in the league. He’ll be an All-Star and MVP candidate one day. He’s that good. Had a similar feeling about a certain Giannis Antetokounmpo 8 years ago almost to the day. – 1:33 AM

Each #Blazers starter had 4+ assists tonight. The last time that happened for Portland was Nov. 13, 2003 against the Kings. The starting five that night was Damon Stoudamire, Bonzi Wells, Rasheed Wallace, Zach Randolph, & Dale Davis. #RipCity – 10:59 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
The Blazers upset the Bucks, 122-107 on Monday night. After the game, center Jusuf Nurkic said that he believed that the Bucks, Knicks and Lakers didn’t play like teams who feared losing to the Blazers
“I think they are taking us lightly,” Nurkic said.

The Spurs are 2 games behind Portland for the 10th play-in spot.
They’re 3 games ahead of the Pacers for the 5th worst record in the league.
24 games left… – 10:50 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Budenholzer, on the Blazers’ 40-point second quarter:
“It’s the difference in the game, the second quarter. I feel like transition is where it starts, some layup baskets, some open 3s, some putbacks, just those kinds of baskets, that’s really kind of unacceptable for us.” – 10:44 PM

Kerry Eggers @kerryeggers
Excellent road win by the local quintet over the defending champion @Milwaukee Bucks, even without @Giannis Antetokounmpo. @Anfernee Simons and @Josh Hart formed a formidable backcourt. Who were those two guys who filled those spots for the @trailblazers before them?

The Milwaukee Bucks version of a European soccer supporter section was chanting “BRICK CITY” when Portland had the ball in the first half, but it mostly sounded like “RIP CITY.” They eventually stopped when the Bucks went down double digits. – 10:09 PM

Bucks down, 114-100, with 3:54 left. Timeout to Budenholzer. He has three left, so this should be the first of two timeouts before the 3-minute mark.
They just haven’t been able to get enough stops tonight. Looks like the comeback is going to come up short. – 10:07 PM

They’re heading to the exits here at Fiserv with the Bucks trailing 114-100 with 3:54 to play here – 10:06 PM

Much of the Blazers’ ball movement tonight has been money. Everyone is seeing the floor well, moving the ball with crisp passing and thus keeping the Bucks’ D off balance. – 10:00 PM

#Bucks had a chance to cut it to six or seven – missed – and now the officials are reviewing a loose ball foul on Bobby Portis. – 10:00 PM

We’re getting a review here after a Bobby Portis foul.
He appeared to pull Nurkic’s jersey with one hand while trying to block his shot with the other. – 10:00 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
I believe that is going to be a flagrant on Mr. Portis – 9:59 PM
Jay Allen @PDXjay
Tonight marked the 30th career start for @Anfernee Simons. He’s now hit 113 three-pointers in those 30 starts. That’s the most by any #NBA player in their first 30 career starts. #RipCity – 9:58 PM

Brad Botkin @bradbotkincbs
If the Blazers are just gonna do the Dame-CJ backcourt over with Dame-Ant, they gotta let Nurk go. The Dame-Nurk P&R coverage with another small guard can’t be negated without a few good wings. Don’t do this again – 9:30 PM

#Bucks cut a 21-point deficit down to 13 for a moment. – 9:30 PM

They have not responded here in the second half. – 9:23 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
#Blazers are up 43% shooting from behind the three-point line and have made 13 — they lead the #Bucks by 21 with 7:36 to go in the third quarter. – 9:23 PM

Hard to pin 71 points on the @Milwaukee Bucks in a half, with or without @Giannis Antetokounmpo. That’s a good half of basketball for the local lads.
#RipCity – 9:08 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
If some of these halftime scores hold (Portland over Milwaukee, New Orleans over Toronto), it’s going to be a nice standings night for Boston without the Celtics even playing.
Chicago is in a tight one with San Antonio too. – 9:04 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
Blazers up 71-54 at the Bucks at halftime.
No Giannis but still.
Simons has 18 (11 coming in final few minutes of the half) and Hart has 17.
The Lakers and Knicks right now: “We warned ya’ll. These Blazers are no joke.” – 9:04 PM

Kane Pitman @KanePitman
The Bucks defensive rating on their 3-1 West Coast road trip was 115.8 but covered up by some scintillating offense. They just gave up 71 points in the first half to Portland at home.
In potentially related news. Bucks GM Jon Horst said Brook Lopez is expected back this season. – 9:03 PM

It’s unclear how big the gas tank is at this point, but Serge Ibaka can clearly still move up and down the floor pretty well in his first appearance. Multiple transition buckets and a transition block is intriguing. – 8:43 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Serge Ibaka’s first block with the #Bucks = 2 points the other way and Milwaukee leads Portland 43-39 with 8:15 to go in the first half. – 8:43 PM

These scrappy Blazers came to play tonight. Down just 43-39 in the second. 15 field goals on 12 assists. – 8:42 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Ibaka would have been a great Bull! – 8:22 PM
Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Khris Middleton picked up two early fouls, which is not ideal with G. Antetokounmpo out tonight.
Bucks up, 12-11, with 6:52 left in the first quarter. Ibaka scored the Bucks’ first six points, blocked a shot (that he somehow is not getting credit for doing) and grabbed a steal. – 8:19 PM

The Bucks roster is at 12 now. Sandro & Lindell don’t count towards the 15 man roster as 2-ways, nor does Greg Monroe’s 10-day. You’re required to have at least 13 players to add a 10-day contract so they’d need to add another player if they want to give Monroe a 2nd 10-day – 6:56 PM

I asked Mikal Bridges if he ever played with/against Aaron Holiday before the NBA. He did. As a Philly kid, Bridges was a big fan of Jrue. In an EYBL game, he did a triple check on the opposing guard next to him. Bridges asked someone “why does he look like Jrue?” Got his answer. – 3:05 PM

Thanasis Antetokounmpo is the guy who brings the fire on and off rhe floor at Bucks. To be a good influence for his teammates is the most important part of his role.
“Team is above all”, Thanasis said. #FearTheDeer @SdnaGr sdna.gr/mpasket/933692… – 2:25 PM
