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

[DUB]

Imma hit the wine. Laters

You don't need to leave to do that, this thread is full of whine.

 

[EGame]

Didn't your team in the NFL win the title a couple years ago?

BOO THIS MAN.

no a couple of seasons ago they got there ass kicked by the Seachickens. They did win it last year and it was glorious.

 

[KingSpeed]

Props to Aminu who took his demotion in stride and still contributed.

 

[Strenuus]

Agreed



Wait and see, dude. When we were getting blown out, people said they hard fought competitive close losses. That's happening now and people still bitch. Sixers are the hottest team in the East right now and we hung right there with them.

We didn't "hang with them" we made 11 field goals in the 2nd half. We let them back in.

I already waited and saw, the team is trash.

 

[BlayZa]

i wonder what weak bs will be said in the post game?

Just wait. We will steal a game we shouldnt win and that will light a new spark only for us to lose 6 more in a row and give us false hope.

I didn't even do that in the Cleveland win. This team has given me no reason to think they can sustain anything.

Which is MIND-BOGGLING because last year was so different. I really don't understand it.

It's not even the All Star break yet.

 

[Cippy91]

I just can't understand this team. Get these bums besides cj and dame off the team, lets get some real talent on the team. For fucks sake can we stop this asset bullshit too Neil? because its fucking us in the ass with these poison contracts. Then we got Terry stotts who obviously coddles his players, takes it easy. No defensive strategy at all. HEY AMINU AND TURNER, you guys dont shoot threes but Terry will force your ass to just jack shots until your three point percentage is okay which it's not even that. I mean look at what D'antoni is doing if you wanna see a really great offensive coach. I thought the rockets would be ass but they fucking thrive in that system. For fucks sake

How was last year different?

 

[KingSpeed]

Last year, we got BLOWN OUT by a worse Sixers team in Philly. Yes, this year is different.

tbh last year at this point is pretty similar. After the all star break is when the guys turned it on. Who knows why that was if it was a chip on there shoulder or what, but I don't get that feeling for the rest of this year. Then again I didn't get that feeling last year, either, but last year we seemed more competent even on defense. Not so much this year.

 

[Strenuus]

It's not even the All Star break yet.

Doesn't matter.

 

[Strenuus]

How was last year different?

They cared.

 

[Cippy91]

The same bullshit they have repeated all season. "We will be better eventually"

It's like they are trying to constantly sell us bullshit. There is an issue and one of you fucks in the locker room better address it and if that means arguments then boo fucking hoo. This team could use something other than "hey look at us we all go to san diego in the summertime and get close, look at us aren't we close"

SO.MUCH.WOW

 

[KingSpeed]

Doesn't matter.

You're overreacting.

Nah, it feels different. They just seem to not care.

I learned from you!

Did Harkless take well it too?

stop grasping at straws man. it is kind of sickening. Its great you are very passionate, but this is getting almost as insufferable as tunchi.

 

[BonesJones]

It is tough I know. I like to think Im pretty passionate about sports and in particular, the teams I like (Blazers and Broncos in NFL). I use to be pretty upset to when either would lose no matter how little the game meant in the grand scheme of things (though never punched a wall), but I've realized while I'm still a big fan, you just kinda gotta enjoy the ride no matter how high or low it is and not let it ruin your evening/day/week/month/year/however long it takes to recover. Sure I think we all get upset at some point still, but if they lose they lose. If they still have a chance in the season than hope for the best. If it is a lost season enjoy the draft positioning.

Will you be my fandom therapist? Lol.

For real, that's good advice.

 

[KingSpeed]

They cared.

They care this year too. Probably more than you. Possibly more than me. This is their legacy. For most of their adult lives, they won't be playing basketball. This is their chance to make their mark.

Yup, the rockets are doing well this season. God damnit.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think you're wrong. Dame says they care.

Wait and see

It was kind of hard to change, but I feel like i have changed. You can ask posters here I use to yell a lot and get frustrated even with every little play in a game. Ask strenuus I think he can attest to this and I think he can attest that I seem calmer. I don't think it makes me any less of a fan just have to realize that sports are great, and we are all passionate about our teams, but we can't let it ruin the enjoyment of life. Sports are a fun hobby.

 

[Strenuus]

I'd love to see that chance.

 

[Cippy91]

Is what it is I guess. What a shitty season for us blazer fans

 

[riverman]

Thanks Blazers for literally making me punch a hole in my wall.

Get a grip Bones....punching walls is risky....we'll be calling you Broken Bones Jones...you better learn how to patch drywall now

 

[KingSpeed]

I'd love to see that chance.

I thought they played really hard tonight. There were especially gutsy performances from Vonleh, Aminu, and Plumlee. Lillard was aggressive. CJ had an off night but he was trying.
