Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Please note that this is an early morning game on Black Friday! I thought our past 2 games were early, when the games started before I even got home from work. But this game will end way before that.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

9 AM Pacific? Holy Cow!

 

[Darkwebs]

I think this game thread will be dead. Most people will be working, Black Friday shopping, or sleeping off their Thanksgiving dinner.

 

[Chris Craig]

Ill be here....for some reason...i'll try to keep it alive with my insane humor

 

[THE HCP]

Imagine having to wake up at 1AM Portland time to go to work FAMS!

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm usually at this game but I'm on West Coast at the moment and I will be waking up for it.

 

[BonesJones]

All nighter?

 

[BonesJones]

Shittt man, guess I'll wake up for this then go to PK80.

 

[THE HCP]

All nighter?

Leave for Brooklyn at 5Am. Sucks to have the day off in NYC, but have to be in bed early.

 

[BonesJones]

That's the wrist start time ever. Since when do they start at 9am on a Friday?

 

[THE HCP]

Ya, the only time we have had these in the past is Sunday's in Toronto and MLK games in D.C. and ATL. Being there 7 hours before tip SUCKS on days like that.

 

[DUB]

This game is at 3:30AM Saturday for me. I will not be watching. I'm too old to stay/get up in middle of the night to watch sport (I used to all the time for soccer, and rugby union/league). I'll watch a replay later.

 

[Optimistic Bob]

Early Friday morning. Wife and daughter go shopping. I sit in my fav chair eating leftovers and watching Blazer game ? Sounds pretty good to me

 

[SIeepwalker]

If we lose this I'm jumping off a cliff !

 

[Mr. Robot]

If we lose this I'm jumping off a cliff !

make sure its recorded

 

[stampedehero]

We must make an act of revenge and focus complete anger from the Sixers loss.

 

[stampedehero]

If we lose this I'm jumping off a cliff !

Wear your white suit!

I knew It! You choose plan B.

 

[BrunoSOC]

Imagine having to wake up at 1AM Portland time to go to work FAMS!

i see you on tv last game, wtf!!! you really work for the blazers right?

 

[BrunoSOC]

Must win game. Payback time. Collins plays 7 minutes at least. PAYBACK TIME.

Trade in the didgeridoo for a DVR mate!

 

[Cippy91]

Should be a crime that NBA games start at 9 AM. Don’t think I’m gonna be up to watch this, getting wild on thanksgiving. I hope I wake up to a win because I think the wizards got our number on Saturday.

 

[theprunetang]

I wrote a code for my computer that is linked to the box score. If the Blazers are ahead at halftime, an alarm will wake me from my slumber. If the Blazers are losing at halftime, I get to sleep like a little nerdy baby.

 

[Labinot41]

9 AM ? Haha i feel bad for you guys. In Germany it's 6 pm when the game Starts. Absolutely perfect, best starting time. Thank you nba. This game i want to see a explosion from Nurkic. The nets are so bad at center Position and can't the defend opposing Centers, so it should be pretty easy to Score for Nurkic. I hope zach collins get's some playing time (and i don't mean garbage time!). But if the blazer lose again against the nets, that would be soooo emberassing and considering we have the easyiest Schedule so far, much more emberassing

Back in the good old days, we trained our rooster to do that.
