Game Thread GAME# 45: BLAZERS @ 76ERS - JANUARY 20, 2017 - FRIDAY, 4:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

Good start....Dame seems to be on his game

Embiid is like 4 inches taller than Plumlee.

Plumlee is 6'11....that'd make Embid 7'3? I don't think he's that tall

 

[riverman]

Dude, if beating the Cavs doesn't end up being the turning point of our season, how is beating the 76ers gonna be the turning point?

buzz kill.....winning changes everything

 

[BonesJones]

weakest charge call in the history of charge calls.

Embiid's at elast 7'2. Plumlee's closer to 6'10 than 6'11.. Plus Embiid's hair gives him an extra inch.

 

[riverman]

Plumlee is really hustling early...2 blocks already

 

[EGame]

back to reality.

 

[ChadWick]

7-0 run lol

 

[BonesJones]

LOL

 

[BonesJones]

Plumlee jumpers = no-no

 

[riverman]

Need to win this quarter!

 

[EGame]

Plumlee jumpers = no-no

the whole team minus dame and CJ jumpers = no-no. Crabbe, Harkless and Leonard occasionally can make them, but no.

 

[illmatic99]

Its amazing how useless Noah is. Just watch him on offense thru a few possessions. He does nothing.

 

[EGame]

good to know sergio still cant shoot

 

[BlazerWookee]

Why are they booing Turner?

 

[EGame]

lillard will eat hendo for breakfast

 

[riverman]

Why are they booing Turner?

He used to play for them

 

[EGame]

yo boy dame dropping 60 tonight.

 

[EGame]

dame on fire? Take him out!

 

[riverman]

Anyone notice how Plumlee is owning Noel in the game so far?

 

[Nate]

Ok Clyde

 

[EGame]

davis looks uninterested.

 

[KingSpeed]

25 points out of CJ/Dame and good D.

 

[Scalma]

davis looks uninterested.

When does he look interested?

 

[BonesJones]

I like the lineup change. Vonleh is more effective when playing with Dame and CJ. Turner as the 3rd ball-handler instead of 2nd might be better.

 

[illmatic99]

Still want my Aminu shock collar idea. No more than 3 dribbles

 

[riverman]

first qtr win dance party!!!!! Kept them under 30!

 

[BonesJones]

the whole team minus dame and CJ jumpers = no-no. Crabbe, Harkless and Leonard occasionally can make them, but no.

Crabbe makes a higher percentage of 3's than anyone on the team so...

And Harkless makes a higher percentage of threes than Dame so...

 

[EGame]

May as well. I like Harkless, but Turner can create easies for others. Both aren't great shooters, Harkless is ok, and both play solid defense, so no real loss when starting Turner.

 

[EGame]

Crabbe makes a higher percentage of 3's than anyone on the team so...

And Harkless makes a higher percentage of threes than Dame so...

I would hope so. Teams leave the players that arent Dame or CJ on purpose. Give Dame wide open looks all the time and we would see if that changes.

 

[BonesJones]

Still want my Aminu shock collar idea. No more than 3 dribbles

He's created a couple of great shots for his teammates by driving deep enough to draw that other defender. His lose dribbling attracts more defense because they think they can get a steal, so it can actually be an effective thing for him at times

 

[BonesJones]

Lol at Davis not being able to score over Luwawu
