Long as you're mucking up the game thread with your reverse jinx downer posts, my faith in an eventual victory is boundless.

If Nurk is playing though, Blazers should blow them out. Valanciunas can't hold his jock.

 

[Irish Trader]

Portland Trail Blazers
8-3 (8-2-1) 222.0 +320 25.9%
New Orleans Pelicans
6-5 (5-6-0) -9.0 -420 74.1%
The way Portland has been beating the spread looks like the best bet. Getting 9 points tonight without Lillard. Would like to see Ant on CJ tonight. I would get a smile on my face if Ant lites up CJ for a big game.

Hmmm.

Nurk:13 pts, 11.2 reb, 2.5 ass, TS% 58.5%, salary $15.6 mil
Val: 15, 10, 2.3, TS% 61.5, salary $14.7 mil

Seems pretty close to me?

Hey--let me pander to the Bosnian poster!

I want to see another buzzer beater win… Let’s Go!

 

[Wade Garrett]

we are sitting out our best player in game 12 of the season against an opponent who we would like to get a tiebreaker against after he has already missed 4 games.

i'm totally on board with load management, but figured that woulda come last night, not tonight. we need to pickup as many WC wins as possible and we have decided not to put our best foot forward.

I see your point.
Maybe its just a timing thing with Damian's rehab. (?)
There's also a train of thought that says win the games on the road that you should win.(charlotte)
I still say they can win tonight, it's not gonna be easy, (goes without saying with this team!)..

 

[illmatic99]

No sharpe or nurk either. For fucks sake

 

[riverman]

So CJ is shooting just over 30% from 3 and 43% at the rim...his offense has dropped off big time in NO.....his rebounds are way up but his midrange isn't falling this season yet.

 

[illmatic99]

Surely theyre not siiting Shaedon for a sore finger.

Who is making these calls

 

[Irish Trader]

No sharpe or nurk either. For fucks sake

Not happy either about this wanted Ant and CJ matchup

 

[Mr. Robot]

nurk is finished

dame & sharpe are injury prone

 

[B-Roy]

lmao, we acting like we just won the championship last year

Shaedon dunked hard and was massaging his finger during the next play last night. I caught it on the broadcast. But unless he's in a splint or has a fracture, this is overkill.

 

[Cugel]

This one could get out of hand.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

and no Keon. We have zero guards off the bench.

Alvarado is going to have a field day.

I really wanted to see Sharpe so it's disappointing.

But probably the smart move. 82 games is a lot so may be better to get this healed than risk a reinjury and he misses 10-20 games.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Dame Sharpe Keon GP2 all out?

Geeze, that's why I never worry about these "how will they all get minutes" posts

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Seriously, our bench is Nas, Walker, Watford...and then Brown and Butler?

What's the over/under on Blazer turnovers tonight? about 22.5?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Man injuries are killing this team and the season barley even started smh

 

[Boise Blazer]

Dame Sharpe Keon GP2 all out?

Geeze, that's why I never worry about these "how will they all get minutes" posts

There is a part of me that wonders if that since i appears that we are a deep team if it is planned that way where we purposely overreact and sit players out to open up more time for other players

 

[Mediocre Man]

Has anyone looked up pinky microfracture, or do I need to?

 

[Haakzilla]

...are we certain GP2 is still out?

 

[Chris Craig]

Looks like Nurkic and Grant may be out again too.

 

[Chris Craig]

...are we certain GP2 is still out?

Yes

 

[DDolla]

Glad that we have some great wins and we can take this L
