Game Thread GAME# 37: 76ERS @ BLAZERS - DECEMBER 30, 2018 - SUNDAY, 6:00 PM, NBCSNW

[TBpup]

She was the sideline reporter for the Lakers, came here to do the "Bridge" (a god awful show), and when they decided to submarine that show, she left for the 76ers gig.

Yeah, she was here for all of 5 minutes.

Is it just me or does Simons look noticeably bigger?

Just an extra 2" on the hair.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I can see why Simons has been inactive. This will be good for him though.

 

[blazerkor]

I'm embarrassed for Philly. Having Embiid out is no excuse to be down 4o. I didn't expect our guys to blow the Sixers out like this but good for them.

 

[BonesJones]

When was the last time he played? Prolly just his hair

Nah in terms of his arms. He looks stronger.

 

[TBpup]

Nah in terms of his arms. He looks stronger.

He's been working out with Mrs. HCP.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Nah in terms of his arms. He looks stronger.

I don't really see it... You might be right though.

 

[Labinot41]

Can we Go for 50?

 

[LayneStaley]

Nah in terms of his arms. He looks stronger.

He looks looks like a 16 year old kid with the arms of a 14 year old girl.

They don’t have Embiid and got blown out. We are a complete team and got blown out by the Bucks. Now that’s embarrassing.

 

[Chris Craig]

No Outsiders I will not join you

 

[BonesJones]

I don't really see it... You might be right though.

It's extremely noticeable for me.

 

[LayneStaley]

Pretty disappointed in zach as of late

 

[beast blazer]

Zach is garbage offensively since his hot start

 

[Labinot41]

Thank you Sixers, we maybe the best Team in the League defending the 3point shot after this Game

 

[Chris Craig]

A positive for Sixers is they will be safe from the big bad wolf

 

[Jade Falcon]

I don't want Baldwin on this team going forward. Not sure what people saw in him.

 

[LayneStaley]

Simons is years away from contributing imo

 

[ripcityboy]

Zach is garbage offensively since his hot start

That layup he tried was fugly.

 

[DUB]

Nice dunk Zach! Glad he went up strong there.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Hoo boy, this is the definition of garbage time. Yikes.

 

[julius]

I miss the Wade that played last year. This years Wade? Meh.

 

[Chris Craig]

Simons is years away from contributing imo

He isn't getting the ball. Baldwin and Stauskas are playing away from him

 

[oldmangrouch]

An odd game, but a very good win.

 

[TBpup]

I judge almost zero based on garbage time.....the same as if Wade had 20 points this quarter.

 

[crandc]

Sunday Night Massacre

 

[DUB]

Brett Brown is so intense in the huddle right now. He’s going to go off at his team in the locker room after the game.

 

[jlprk]

I watched the Sixer feed. Alaa Abdelnaby is the color commentator with a gentle but professional voice. In the 1st quarter as play-by-play man Marc Zumoff tried to cover the game, Abdelnaby spent almost a minute saying nice things about Paul Allen, like, he was a great owner lasting many years. He said it was his first game back in Portland after the death of Allen, "my first owner." He noted the 2 empty seats. He said he was a Blazer draftee, lasting his first 2 years, 1990-92. Zumoff noted that those were great teams (63 and 57 wins), and Alaa implied that his own part was trivial.

I looked him up. We drafted him #25. In a 5-year career with 5 teams playing 3200 minutes, he played his last 30 minutes with Philly, less than 1%, so he can call himself a former 76er. I gather that he's sentimental and wistful about each stop of his short career, and cherishes each visit to Portland, when his hopes were high.

 

[julius]

I just want one Simons "holy shit" dunk

 

[ripcityboy]

I don't want Baldwin on this team going forward. Not sure what people saw in him.

Draft castoffs + Blazer fans = Match made in Heaven

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Why so many time outs, just let it die already...
