Game Thread GAME# 21: BLAZERS @ 76ERS - FEBRUARY 4, 2021 - THURSDAY, 5:00, NBCSNW

OMG, Elleby with threat to Dame!

"Dame has always been the head of the horse."

So then his cousin is a horse's ass?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

A couple of thoughts:

1) Blazers improve to 1-0 without Lillard holding them back!
2) Even in the 2nd quarter, this game felt like the Blazers-Rockets playoff series when Dwight scored almost every time down, but was exhausted at the half, and didn't score much. JE scored 31 in the 1st half, 6 in the 2nd. His team loses big.
3) Seriously, stop with the CJ2 hate - he was one of the headier players out there for either team.
4) This game was a happy surprise.

 

[Chris Craig]

Who would of known that we would be the bucks though!

Lol yeah

It was worse than the Bucks for the 76ers

 

[James lamphear]

33 points by the bench this might be real confidence booster for our young guys.

 

[hoopsjock]

The shorthanded Blazers play one of their best games of the last two seasons and blow out the 76ers at their house! The Blazers Uprise Post Game Show starts now:

 

[Strenuus]

But when we lose game like this, it's a full on melt-down!

As it should be. This was an embarrassment for Philly. Unacceptable by any measure.

 

[Tince]

I believe our bench scored 112 points! 9 for Covington!

 

[crandc]

Wish I could have seen the game, had to just follow play by play.

How long before someone says this is a better team without Dame?

Umm... what bench? Our bench was our starters. Haha.

 

[tlongII]

I didn’t see that one coming.

I think the "we can play like this every night" take is more likely.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

giles a minus 11 tonight. I really think he is the weak point in our rotation and very disappointed Olshey hasn't done anything about it yet.

 

[Tince]

This is crazy!

 

[James lamphear]

They went out there didn't put there heads down because injuries and competed on both ends this how you win games. Plus very balance on shots opportunities and pretty balance scoring they play as a team at both ends especially the 2nd half.

 

[Scalma]

Nas and Elleby when they play together.

What Elleby hate?

 

[Strenuus]

Key to the third quarter, from stotts:

"We made a lot of shots."

 

[Wizard Mentor]

What Elleby hate?

not this thread, but any time Stotts is brought up, Neil is brought up, and then Elleby and "wasted roster spot" gets brought up.

The game at GS last year early in the year is a good example.

 

[Scalma]

excuse me sir, it was already decided on here that Elleby was a waste of a spot.

 

[Tince]

Key to the third quarter, from stotts:

"We made a lot of shots."

He said "everyone played the type of game they are capable of playing,.. with the exception of Elleby". Backhanded compliment?

 

[Chris Craig]

Cap off this game to make it a perfect night would be dinner from Mrs. HCP. Too bad @THE HCP is home.

Dinner being a code word?

 

[tlongII]

Kanter is playing great. Dominated the boards. Great signing.

 

[Tince]

"we basically ran the same stuff... maybe fewer pick & rolls." - Stotts

 

[rotary111]

I'm sure we could find better use of a roster spot than Blevins.

 

[Chris Craig]

"we basically ran the same stuff... maybe viewer pick & rolls." - Stotts

They made their shots - Doc Rivers

 

[Pinwheel1]

giles a minus 11 tonight. I really think he is the weak point in our rotation and very disappointed Olshey hasn't done anything about it yet.

I thought he looked pretty good. The run at the end of the game was not his fault. He also got screwed by the refs a couple of times.

 

[illmatic99]

told yall

embiid did nothing to impact this game. getting 40 or even 60 woulda done nothing for them. played shit d, let enes destroy him on the boards, and had such a high usage that no one else got any touches to get into a rhythm. think that was our game plan-- let him eat and get whatever he wants, and stay home on the shooters. won us the game.

in this game today, high usage bigs who don't play D ( didn't tonight) and can't shoot from 3 cannot win. surprised Daryl didnt let Doc know this stuff tonight.

 

[Pinwheel1]

They made their shots - Doc Rivers

Really surprised Doc did not press us. He always has before.

 

[illmatic99]

Really surprised Doc did not press us. He always has before.

he coached a horrific game. even a couple traps on our guards and some semblance of a P&R with embiid woulda resulted in a blowout for them.
