Game Thread GAME# 24: 76ERS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 11, 2021 - THURSDAY, 7:00, TNT

[Mr. Robot]

We will debut our new brown "City" uniforms on TNT. Hopefully, we come away with a victory, as well.

The Sixers will want payback for that embarrassing loss our third stringers put on a week ago.

Let's do this like 1977!

tnt you say

hopefully its kevin harlan

 

[Mr. Robot]

unleash cj elleby, he loves playing against phila

that being said, a win would be huge

More info about these jerseys.

We need help!! Is ABCDEFG on our roster now? Is he a Gleague pickup or something? I mean ANY help will do so we don't run Dame into the ground. Is ABCDEFG our new back up PG????????

I did a bit of research, cant find much on this guy.

Probable another Dame's cousin we picked up

 

[wizenheimer]

my guess is ABCDEFG is pronounced ab-cee-day-fug. I think it's Scandanavian or Choctaw

 

[Darkwebs]

Even if I can begrudgingly accept that red/black are not on it, why is there no green at all?




The key aspect of Oregon landscape is green. The freaking license plate has a tree on it.

How do you miss so badly?

illmatic, I totally agree about the lack of green.
And the Blazers do address the green in the link I posted earlier:

Of course, it's kind of a copout answer.

Why couldn't they just add one more line to the color stripes down the side? Is it because they only wanted 5 stripes, like the pair of 5 stripes of the Blazers pinwheel?
Maybe they thought it'd be too busy with yet another color on the stripes? Who knows

 

[Scalma]

Nas has been upgraded to questionable.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

You're right, that's no excuse. I admit I've been making too many errors lately. I wouldn't mind someone taking over the game thread-making duties. Perhaps it's time for a new voice.

No, No, you are doing great!

 

[kjironman1]

Where he is from the G is resilient and sounds like a K.

 

[kjironman1]

I'm gonna wait for the outcome of the game to really pass judgement on the jersey's. We all know Red absolutely BLOWS. If they can win in Brown I won't say it's a crappy looking color.

what a ridiculous response.

 

[riverman]

I'm going to just go ahead and blame CJ for these Cleveland Brown atrocious jerseys! When did a "City" jersey become a "State" jersey anyway?

 

[Strenuus]

First of all it was a joke. Secondly, the mountains on the side are identical. I was kidding Perry Mason.

I didn't see the mountains.

I would suck as perry Mason.

Love me please.

Anyone know when fans can come back at Moda? Saw some teams and letting them in.

 

[Chris Craig]

Anyone know when fans can come back at Moda? Saw some teams and letting them in.

Blazers have been waiting for Portland to move out of extreme risk category for Covid. Portland has been in extreme meaning attendance of sports games in arenas has been prohibited.

Technically, since Portland is in the high risk category now the Blazers could have a very small number of fans but it wouldn't be enough to make it worth selling tickets yet. Moderate risk still doesn't allow for enough fans to make it worth it. We probably won't see attendance till we drop to lower risk, which is still a while out.

 

[THE HCP]

what a ridiculous response.

This HAS to be the work of Terry Stotts!!!

I have heard nothing, but as strict and regulated as we are their on games days, I just don’t see ANY fans this season.

isn't that more up to Kate Brown than Adam Silver?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I'm sure the guys are strict and regulated in the other cities too. That doesn't have anything to do with letting 1000 fans spread out throughout the arena. I wonder if we'll have an app that gives you privileges once your vaccinated as I am now.

maybe some arenas, but I have guys working in EVERY arena in the league right now and at least half of them tell me they walk around without masks on. Arena workers too. Not at MODA. Shit is like a hospital. Also like a prison. You are NOT allowed in certain areas no matter what.

well yeah, Oregon seems to have taken this more serious than many other states, but there are some positive results:

Total cases is a bad way of measuring this kind of data. The graph should show cases for X population.
The table below ranked in ascending Deaths/1M pop are a much better representation

Do you even get to go out to the court pre game on home games? Or is it straight to the studio and thats it? What does a home game look like for you guys?

You had to ask....

 

[PCmor7]

Is Nas not listed in with the Blazer reserves because he probably won't play?

 

[Scalma]

Whining about a jersey that’s actually fire lolllll.

Here’s a fire take: it’s better than that cream jersey from last season.

 

[illmatic99]

Getting annoyed with all the Steph MVP noise. People fawning over his 35 foot shot against Dallas when he scored 57 in a loss this past weekend, while they forget that Dame shot the same shots in the bubble while scoring 61 in a win against the same Dallas team. BFD.

Their stats are nearly identical.
Dame: 29.4 pts, 7.1 asts, 4.5 rebs, 63% TS, 26.7 PER
Curry: 29.6 pts, 5.9 asts, 5.4 rebs, 66% TS, 25.6 PER

We're 13-10, they're 13-12.

Yet the ESPN MVP poll is like this:


Doncic? really?

While TNT is not ABC primetime on Saturday, it's still a big stage to get Dame back into the MVP convo. Need a big game tonight.

Do you know if they're changing the court as well? Most teams are changing decals when they wear their city jerseys.

the graph is essentially the same
