Game Thread GAME# 34: BLAZERS @ JAZZ - DECEMBER 25, 2018 - TUESDAY, 7:30 PM, ESPN & NBCSNW

[THE HCP]

What are you doing Christmas Eve? Or does flying down there count as working?

Flying out to SLC. Whenever I’m traveling for work and away from The FAMS, I consider it work. It’s The Mrs. birthday today as well, so it’s kinda extra lame.

 

[THE HCP]

I believe we have a fantastic record for Christmas Day games. Like the best, I think.

Jinx much?

 

[tykendo]

You need the option of BOTH on the poll!

Working on Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day sucks MOST of the time, Military(been there), First Responders, and 7-11 workers, poor stiffs, sucks for sure. Working for the greatest Basketball Franchise on earth doesn't seem so bad, and I would gladly trade places. Just saying . That being said, Thank You H for helping the team get'er done. Blessings Bro.

I served my country and have had "real jobs" trust me. Love my career, just TONS of time away from the family is all.

I would love livin the HCP life! Love traveling, airports and staying in hotels. But I don't have a wife or kids either..apparently that changes things (or so I'm told)

You do know HCP doesn't actually get to fly with the team? He has to drive the AV club's truck, following the team from city to city. A gypsy. A nomad. A lost soul roaming the highways and byways of America. Living on gas station food. (shudder) Seeking a few moments of human warmth with truck stop lot lizards. (double shudder) Disposing of the bodies.....

In fairness, I'm sure the job also has a downside.

One key to getting the win Harkless needs to stay aggressive. Did you see him kick it into another gear when Doncic posted him up? After that he turned it on he played with some purpose. What makes a player turn it on like that but cannot do it for the better part of the game? They’re going to lock down Dame so the Chief or CJ needs to step up as well.

I think 'what motivates Harkless?" is as mysterious to the Blazer coaching staff as the formula to Coke Cola and the KFC original recipe ingredients list.

I think Orlando figured out the answer to that: not much! That's why they dumped him on Portland for a sack of dirty socks. Harmless may be one of those players who is content to punch the clock and collect a paycheck. You can't force a guy to love the game.

Did they already show what the uniforms will look like?

Cool H. Just saying, if you have to be away from home at the Holidays working, have a job that rocks. Looks like yours does. Merry Christmas Bro.

 

[tykendo]

And hey what you do with the Blazers is a "real job". I appreciate you doing it. Just most jobs you have to do to make ends meet on the holidays "BLOW!".

The uniforms being worn in the game was in my first post.

They're using the "earned" uniforms for the Christmas uniforms? I thought the Christmas uniforms were a 1 off thing, and not a uniform that would be used for other games?

I just read that there aren't designated Christmas uniforms. Boring.

Julius, c'mon man. Do you not read @Darkwebs amazing game thread posts?

The Blazers weren't allowed to wear their earned ones because it would be hard for color blind people to follow. Too bad because red versus green on Christmas would be perfect.

@HCP does drive....but it's not the AV truck....

[illmatic99]

Why does Dame have a lamp with a shoe

 

[Shaboid]

Is that really what gobert looks like?! His head looks tiny!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Is this the same team that beat the shit out of us by 30 or something? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Eh. Go Blazers.

 

[Strenuus]

Thank GOD I dont have to watch this on ESPN.

I might actually hear something about the game.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Uh Kevin......Stotts is NOT the Blessed Doctor Jack.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I'm having a really hard time deciding on which broadcast to watch..normally I always go with ours but we're not on National TV that much and I wanna hear what they say..I'll probably go back and forth

 

[RickyJoe]

All I want for Christmas is a Blazer victory!!

 

[DUB]

Sounded like Dame got some cheers from the crowd during the introductions.

Fuck ESPN. They've proven their bias countless times, why should now be any different?

I'm watching the Blazer's broadcast, as I always do.
