This is almost beginning to look like the Ducks MBB season ending run. Sure, they have a long way to go, but when NurKic went down I thought it was over, especially vs Denver and their Serbian big man, Jokic.
Enter Enes Kanter, who even with a bad shoulder, is filling the needed big man role surprisingly well. Anyway, now is when fair weather Blazer fans like me come out of the wood work.
Interesting Kanter side story: imho, you have to respect a guy who stands up for his beliefs and rights, and expresses love for his home country, Turkey, and his new country alike, but won't suck up to Erdogan (apologies if there are any Erdogan fans out there, lol)
His tweet in response to some rude Denver fans and the SI author's contextual tweet.:
I wish I could go back to Turkey to see Family
But I chose to support Democracy, Freedom and Human rights,
I am grateful for most Americans supporting that right. @nuggets take control of your fans.
This is hurtful
Be grateful for the Democracy and Freedom we have here.

Crowd is chanting "Kanter sucks!" and one yelled out, "Go back to Turkey, oh wait you can't!"

Anyway, glad Rip City got him, and the Western Confr. Finals appear to be a realistic goal, not just a fantasy.
