Game Thread EARLY/MORNING GAME! GAME# 22: BLAZERS @ KNICKS - FEBRUARY 6, 2021 - SATURDAY, 10:00, NBCSNW

[THE HCP]

Yeah; a really, really dumb argument.

Like I was checking my screen to make sure the green was turned up. How in the fuck can you type that after 30 minutes of play?

 

[DDolla]

I forgot that Enes was our starting Center when we reach the WCF. Dude is playing well for us. Keep it up Enes!

 

[THE HCP]

Keep it up Enes!

HA!

 

[kjironman1]

The second contract doesn't really seem like it is far fetched. Not saying he will get a huge payday but look at the other players that did their rookie years here and went on to get another contract.

 

[Darkwebs]

Hallelujah!

The answer to the poll question is yes. As I posted on draft night, Neil's hit rate is 100% with second round picks.

Every single one of Neil's second round picks is still in the NBA and received a second contract.

2012- 40. Will Barton
2013- 31. Allen Crabbe
2015- 41. Pat Connaughton
2016 - 47. Jake Layman
2018- 37. Gary Trent Jr.

Every. Single. One. Hit rate of 100%

Elleby it is.

Damn Nassir Little must have really messed his knee up. Dude hardly plays and the 1-2 games he does he’s already hurt..

 

[James lamphear]

You think that when this roster is healthy Elleby deserves minutes???? Over who??? This dude had ONE GOOD NIGHT!

Let's see if he gets minutes how consistent he is or last night or fly in the pants. But know I don't see him taking anyone minutes when we are healthy.

 

[Darkwebs]

Bummer. No Nas

 

[AldoTrapani]

Bummer. No Nas

Be prepared for that big news to come out soon about him

7PM Game in my timezone ❤

What a blessing for my sleep

 

[kjironman1]

Be prepared for that big news to come out soon about him

Way to jump right out there and set up a "See I told ya so". Of course if you are wrong you won't say "Oh great job by the medical staff making sure he is fully healthy before coming back". No it's only one way with you.
Kick him in the Tunchi!

Made of glass.

Wouldn't that be little news?

Early morning is right! 4:30AM Sunday for me. Not watching this one live.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

yeah it does. How else would one earn minutes?

Well, with everyone out, he has to play. But has he earned minutes to play when everyone is healthy? One good game doesn’t answer that question.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Whats this thing about blue jerseys i read the other day? Are all our opponents supposed to wear blue now?
@Darkwebs @Chris Craig

is there some plot im unaware of?

 

[Scalma]

My point is if a player, especially a young one, has a good game, he’s at least earned a look the next game. I’m not saying elleby should now be a permanent fixture in the rotation.

 

[TBpup]

Really would like to see Nas get back soon. This stretch would have been a great opportunity for him to get some consistent run.

This is where luck and circumstance play a decent part in player emergence. This is a huge opportunity missed if he doesn't get back soon.

 

[riverman]

Go Blazers! Get this one!

 

[kjironman1]

Go Blazers! Get this one!

I'd Like to see a team win on this one also!

 

[riverman]

We're going into this game tied for 4th in the west....keep trending in the right direction!

 

[bobf]

WAKE UP sleepy heads! Go Blazers!!!

 

[Tince]

.500 roadtrip... playing with house money today baby!

Blue is one of the Knicks colors so no surprise, but yeah they must have seen the Rocket and Bucks games.

Though the 76ers wore blue jerseys too. (Blue is one of their colors too) Strange though 4-6 teams we have played on this trip have worn blue jerseys.

 

[rotary111]

Good morning!

I like this starting lineup.

Let's get it!

 

[Strenuus]

We lost.

 

[Darkwebs]

I would say our defense looks sleepy due to the early start time, but it always looks like this
